Achilles pain
Expert podiatry assessment and tailored treatment for Achilles tendon pain
Achilles tendon pain — often called Achilles tendinopathy or tendonitis — causes pain, stiffness and swelling in the band of tissue connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone. Whether you run, play sport or spend long hours on your feet, it can quickly affect your mobility and quality of life.
Our HCPC-registered podiatry team provides expert assessment and a treatment plan built around you — easing pain, supporting healing and addressing the underlying cause to help prevent it returning. Every patient begins with a thorough assessment to confirm the diagnosis and the most appropriate approach.

Expert care for Achilles tendon pain
Achilles pain usually builds from repetitive overload rather than a single injury. We reduce your pain quickly, support healing and tackle the underlying cause — so you can get back to what you enjoy.
Accurate diagnosis
A thorough assessment — including gait analysis and ultrasound imaging where helpful — to pinpoint what's driving your pain.
Targeted treatment
Custom orthotics, structured loading exercises, footwear advice and hands-on therapies, matched to your needs.
Lasting recovery
We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms, and guide a safe return to activity to help prevent it returning.
