05 Nov Been experiencing pain at the back of your heel 😣

Or Perhaps you’ve been told that you have Archilles’ Tendonitis 😳

The Achilles’ tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles 💪 in the back of your calf to your heel bone. The Achilles tendon is able to withstand massive amounts of pressure and stress we get from walking, running 🏃‍♂️ and jumping. However it can only take so much – especially when it’s strained 😳 and swollen after all the things we have done throughout the day.

Achilles tendinitis, inflammation of the Archilles tendon, is usually the result of strenuous, high impact exercise, such as running. 🏃‍♂️If you overstretch a already strained and swollen Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture) 😳😳 completely or just partially. Achilles tendon rupture mainly occurs in people playing recreational sports, but it can happen to anyone.🏀🎾

If your Achilles tendon ruptures, you might hear a pop, followed by an immediate sharp 😖pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that is likely to affect your ability to walk properly. Surgery is often performed to repair the rupture.However, for many people who choose not to have surgery, Physiotherapy 😊 is very effective in rehabilitating an Archilles Tendon Rupture. 🚀🚀🚀
