Achilles Tendinopathy Treatment in Nikol
Heavy slow resistance protocol, biomechanical assessment, and expert tendinopathy care at Arham Physiotherapy.
Achilles tendinopathy - pain and stiffness in the heel cord - is a common overuse injury in runners and active individuals. It ranges from midportion to insertional pain. At Arham Physiotherapy, Nikol, we treat both with distinct, evidence-based protocols.
The gold-standard treatment is the Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) protocol - a progressive loading programme that remodels the tendon and restores full function without the need for surgery.
Treatment Techniques
Gold-standard heavy slow resistance calf training to stimulate tendon remodeling.
Specific manual therapy to improve gliding and reduce local peri-tendinous pain.
Anti-inflammatory electrotherapy to manage acute pain and boost local circulation.
Analysis of gait, footwear advice, and temporary offloading with heel lifts or orthotics.
