Achilles tendon symptoms.
Attention to load.

Pain in your Achilles tendon can play at the attachment to the heel leg or higher in the tendon. That distinction helps to align the approach.

View intake & ultrasoundOur approach

What's your tendon asking for right now?

We look at your symptoms, daily activities, training and recovery moments. The onset of pain and any previous treatment are also relevant.

Practice and build up load

Explanation, load management and practice therapy are important parts of the treatment. The build-up takes time and is tailored to the location and nature of your symptom.

A possible addition

When explanations, load advice and an appropriate exercise program do not help enough, shockwave can be discussed in addition to the exercises. The evidence for the extra effect is limited. We assess together whether the potential added value outweighs the side effects and costs, and agree on an evaluation moment.

This information is general. Whether shockwave is appropriate for you requires a personal assessment. There's no guarantee of recovery.
