Achilles Pain and Tendinopathy Treatment in Goulburn

Pain and stiffness in the back of the heel or lower calf that needs more than rest.

Achilles pain rarely fixes itself with rest alone. The right loading and rehab plan is what gets the tendon strong and pain free again.

What It Feels Like

Stiffness in the Achilles first thing in the morning

Pain at the back of the heel when you push off

A tender or thickened section of the tendon

Aching after exercise that lingers into the next day

A sudden jump in training load

Tight or weak calf muscles

Worn or unsuitable footwear

Biomechanics that overload the tendon

Assessment of your load, calf strength and biomechanics

A graded strengthening program that rebuilds the tendon

Load management so you keep moving safely

Footwear and heel support advice

Orthotics where your assessment shows a benefit

Achilles pain that has lasted more than a few weeks, or keeps returning, should be assessed before it becomes chronic.

COMMON QUESTION

Usually not. We modify your activity rather than stopping it, because the tendon needs the right load to recover.
