Can Physical Therapy help with Achilles Tendonitis or calf pain?
Do your calves ache after a long day of work standing on your feet? Do you feel a deep pain down the back of the ankle? Are the first 15 minutes of walking in the morning extremely uncomfortable?
All these are symptoms of overuse and breakdown of the calf muscle and Achilles tendon on the back of the lower leg.
Overuse of these muscles are common in the spring when people start walking more, if someone changes their shoes, or if someone has recently changed their activity/exercise level.
Fortunately, physiotherapy is an extremely effective tool to resolve your calf pain and Achilles pain.
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy, located in Okotoks, we treat sore calves and Achilles tendon injuries daily. Your physiotherapy experience will include a detailed assessment of your calf pain, an educational session outlining your specific needs, hands on treatment, and exercises to help resolve your shoulder pain.
If you are dealing with any lower leg pain, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks today to find out how we can put the spring back into your step. Call us today at 403-982-5600.
