Achilles Pain

Understanding Achilles Pain

Achilles pain typically occurs due to overuse or strain of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Achilles injuries can feel like a dull ache or sharp discomfort at the back of the ankle or heel, especially after activities like running, jumping, or walking. Common Achilles injuries include tendinitis (inflammation) or tears to the tendon fibres. Repetitive stress, poor footwear, or sudden increases in physical activity can contribute to the development of Achilles pain, leading to swelling, stiffness, and difficulty with movement.

At Feet and Motion we offer a comprehensive musculoskeletal / biomechanics assessment and gait analysis services to diagnose and treat pain and injury. Understanding the biomechanics of your feet and lower limbs is essential for identifying the root causes of pain or discomfort and preventing further injury.

If you have pain and/or injury, then book a biomechanics assessment and let us help you get back to doing what you love.

Advanced Treatment Options for plantar fasciitis, Feet & Motion also offers a specialist digital gait analysis using our Footscan pressure plate analysis. This advanced technology can identify pressure points and abnormalities in your gait.

Based on these results, we can create custom orthotics designed to alleviate pressure and provide bespoke support. Additionally, we offer advanced treatments such as shockwave therapy and MLS laser therapy, to stimulate blood flow, kickstart the healing process, and reduce inflammation.
