Physio Healthy · Achilles tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy in Burgess Hill.

An Achilles that’s stiff every morning and sore at the start of a run. Tendons respond to the right load, and that’s what we build your treatment around.

What we do

How we treat it

  1. We assess the calf, the ankle and the foot together, and check how you load them when you walk and run.
  2. Hands-on treatment plus progressive loading, the backbone of Achilles rehab.
  3. Shockwave therapy in the clinic for tendons that haven’t responded to rest.
  4. A return-to-running plan if you need to get back to it.
ESWT

Three types of shockwave in one clinic

Focused, radial and EMTT, usually as a block of five weekly sessions with check-ins over 12 weeks. £80 a session or £350 for five.
