Achilles and ankle physio in Chiswick

Achilles and ankle problems we see every week

Tendon and ankle problems respond best to a well-planned, progressive programme.

• Achilles tendon pain. Pain and stiffness at the back of the heel, often worse in the morning.
• Ankle sprains. Rolled ankles that are slow to settle or keep giving way.
• Heel pain. Pain under the heel, especially with your first steps in the morning.

How we treat it

Tendons and ligaments need the right amount of load to recover, so your plan is progressed carefully.

1. Assess

   We assess the tendon or ankle, how you walk and run, and your strength.

2. Treat

   Hands-on treatment where it helps, and advice on activity and footwear.

3. Strengthen

   A progressive loading and balance plan to get you back to sport.

When to book

Book an assessment if ankle or Achilles pain is affecting walking, running or sport.

Get urgent medical advice first if you felt a sudden snap or kick at the back of your heel, or can't put weight on your foot after an injury.
