Achilles tendonitis causes heel and calf pain, often linked to overuse. Physiotherapy in Bradford includes stretching, eccentric strengthening, and activity modification to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
Achilles tendonitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation or degeneration of the tendon that connects your calf muscles to your heel. It often develops in people who are active in running, jumping, or sports, but it can also affect anyone after a sudden increase in activity, improper footwear, or even simple overuse. The pain is usually felt at the back of the heel or lower leg, and may be worse with walking, running, or first thing in the morning. At Recharge Physiotherapy, we identify the stage of your tendonitis, address the factors causing your pain, and design a plan to help you return to pain-free activity and prevent future flare-ups.
A quick rise in running distance, intensity, or frequency puts extra strain on the Achilles tendon. Without enough rest and gradual progression, the tendon becomes irritated and painful. We help you modify your training and introduce safe progressions that allow healing without losing fitness.
Limited flexibility in the calf muscles or ankle restricts movement and increases stress on the tendon with every step. Our approach includes targeted stretches, soft tissue techniques, and mobility exercises to restore range of motion and reduce pain.
Weak calf muscles, flat feet, or poor running technique can all contribute to the development of Achilles tendonitis. We assess your movement patterns and create a strengthening and retraining program designed for your sport or daily needs.
If you are not sure why your heel or lower leg is painful, our physiotherapists provide a thorough assessment, review your activity history, and explain every step of your treatment in clear, plain language.
Ignoring Achilles tendonitis can lead to chronic pain, weakness, or even tendon rupture. At Recharge Physiotherapy, we build a comprehensive plan to address every factor—reducing inflammation, restoring flexibility, and rebuilding strength.
