ACHILLES TENDON - Just one of many structures we treat as . The Achilles tendon is the thick cord at the back of your ankle that connects your calf muscles (gastrocnemius/soleus) to your heel bone. It helps you push off when walking, running, and jumping.

Best ways to treat it after an injury include
• Stop aggravating activity (especially running/jumping) and modify load early.
• Relative rest + pain control: short-term ice, compression, elevation; simple pain relief if safe for you.
• Get assessed if you heard a “pop,” can’t push off, or have a gap/swelling—this can suggest a rupture.
• Rehab is key: progressive calf strengthening, especially eccentric or heavy slow resistance exercises, guided by a clinician.
• Support temporarily: heel lifts or supportive footwear can reduce tendon strain.
• Avoid aggressive stretching early (can worsen some tendon injuries).
• Return gradually: increase activity step-by-step based on pain and function.
• Consider physio/osteo care for a tailored plan; imaging only if needed.

Urgent check today if you experience a sudden sharp pain with a pop, significant weakness, trouble walking, or you can’t do a single-leg heel raise.

Manual therapy may support the vagus nerve (your “rest & digest” system) by helping the body shift out of fight-or-flight.

Possible benefits:
• ↑ relaxation / calmer nervous system
• ↑ HRV (a marker linked to vagal tone)
• ↓ stress + muscle tension
• ↓ pain (which can reduce “threat” signals)
• Better breathing → supports parasympathetic activity
• Sometimes: improved digestion & sleep
