My Achilles Tendon Recovery.
I sustained a very sore Achilles tendon injury from playing badminton. My leg was extremely sore and I had difficulty walking. I was referred to a physio via my GP following examination confirmation of Achilles tendinopathy.
The treatment I received seemed very limited and improvement was very slow. Due to this a large degree of frustration and discomfort, it guided me to seek alternative physiotherapy advice.
This lead me to George. I received what I can only describe as a detailed assessment identifying the exact location of my discomfort and problem.
I received a deep massage which I understand was transverse frictions.
Despite this being uncomfortable at the time of treatment I felt an immediate improvement in my pain. I was given exercises which were linked to everyday activities and whenever I brushed my teeth I also exercised my Achilles tendon by heel raises.
George recognised that I have a busy lifestyle and struggled to integrate extra activities and therefore linking it to something I already to do played a huge role in my improvement.
This along with some further treatment sped my recovery up and I have since returned to normal day to day life. I am now able to enjoy my badminton and walk my dogs without having to worry about the pain.
Despite being pain-free I continue to do my heel raises.
