21.01.2022 ............ ACHILLES TENDON ................. The joining of the two calf muscles which attaches onto the back of the heel. The tendon is responsible for transmitting the force generated by the calf muscles into the ankle and foot. It also acts as a buffer to absorb extra forces and limit muscle damage.... Running can load the tendon up to 12.5 x body weight, slow walking 1.8 x body weight and cycling 0.9 x body weight. If the tendon is overloaded, it can become damaged and result in Achilles tendinopathy. Early advice and treatment will lead to best outcomes. If left untreated the tendinopathy will become more chronic, more complex and more resistant to non-operative measures. This is due to the frequent trauma caused by overloading. The tendon is never given a chance to heal properly before it has to go to work again. Since the tendon starts working at less than 100% it struggles more and more everyday to tolerate its workload. At a microscopic level, the fibres are becoming more and more disorganised! Stretching alone will NOT fix this. Podiatry Point can assess the damaged Achilles and develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals to get that Achilles tendinopathy back on track. We are able to prescribe a range of different treatment tools such as dry needling, shockwave, strengthening program, orthotics, strapping and footwear prescription. Message us if you would like more info about Achilles Tendon!!

19.01.2022 Dry Needling is the use of the same tool as the practice of Acupuncture. A solid, filament needle is inserted into the skin and tissues to help specifically target and resolve trigger points. The primary focus of Dry Needling is to promote tissue healing and to restore normal tissue function. Continued activity with poor muscle/tissue function may lead to further damage and can increase muscular pain!
