What it involves
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel. It can become painful when overloaded, or rupture, which requires medical or surgical treatment.
Rehabilitation is adapted to the situation and medical instructions: gradual calf strengthening, mobility work, then a gradual return to walking and activities.
Who is it for?
- People with Achilles tendon pain or after a rupture, on medical prescription
How treatment generally works
- Book by phone, stating the reason for your visit and, if applicable, whether you have a prescription.
- First appointment: discussion about your situation and assessment by the professional.
- Sessions adapted to your situation, with explanations at every step.
- Monitoring of your progress and adjustment of treatment, in liaison with your doctor if needed.
