The challenge
The difficulty in Jayden’s case was to relatively rest the tendon whilst still maintaining his strength and fitness and we did this by the use of heel raises, advising him on specific footwear and adapting his gait to reduce the stress on the tendon in the early stages to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain. At the same time using other forms of exercise to maintain his aerobic capability.
Four treatments over six weeks were completely successful in returning him back to Professional Competition Squash.
