Understand Achilles Tendonitis

There are many part of the body that we totally take for granted, until we injure it. Then we realise how often we use it for every activity.

Anyone who has hurt their Achilles knows that this is one of those parts of the body. Every step, every day, is reliant on the Achilles.

If injured, it can takes ages to heal and often becomes a long term injury.

In this video Podiatrist Sam Abdelmalek talks about the key issues with Ankle sprains. Things like symptoms, what causes it, methods of treatment and how to know if you are improving.

This video is ideal for anyone suffering from the condition (or is wondering if they do) and general practitioners/medical students who want a handy reference from an expert.

Also take a look at Sam’s websites for better footwear (https://www.myorthotics.com.au) and pain management (https://www.painpacks.com.au).
