Achilles pain that just won’t settle… and you’re not sure what actually helps? 🤔

You may have heard about cross frictional massage, but the right approach can depend on what stage your injury is in and how your tendon is responding to load. What works early on may not be as helpful later, and vice versa.

That’s why we focus on a thorough assessment first — to understand what’s driving your symptoms and guide management that suits your situation. If your Achilles has been holding you back from running or staying active, it may be worth getting it checked.
