31 Achillodynia – Muscular Treatment
About Chronic achillodynia is mostly due to either an injury of the tendon itself (tendinosis) or to an inflammatory process occurring inside the
surrounding tissues (bursitis or peritendinitis). The condition can be either at the attachment point of the heel or in the mid-portion of the
tendon (typically around 4 cm above the heel). Healing of the achilles tendon is often slow, due to its poor blood supply.
Treatment General activation and smoothing of surrounding muscles and connective tissue in order to get a muscular relaxation.
Where Calf muscles, Gastrocnemius, Soleus and Intrinsic muscles of the foot sole. Apply over muscles and soft tissue, the treatment may feel
uncomfortable in bony areas.
Dosage 3-6 treatments with 5-10 days interval. Combine this treatment with a RPW treatment of the painful points.
