Achilles Tendinitis Treatment in Atlanta
Get rid of pain. Strengthen your Achilles. Keep running strong.
Is Achilles Pain Holding You Back?
Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common running injuries and it can linger for months if not treated properly. If you’re dealing with:
Pain or stiffness in the back of your heel or lower calf
Soreness that feels worse during your first steps in the morning
Pain that worsens with running or hills
Thickening or swelling of the tendon
You don’t have to just “wait it out.” At Tempo Physical Therapy & Performance, we help runners recover from Achilles pain, keep training safely and build a stronger tendon so this doesn’t come back.

“I thought I’d have to stop running completely, but Tempo PT showed me how to strengthen my Achilles safely as I continued to train for my half marathon”

What Causes Achilles Tendinitis in Runners?
This injury usually happens from overload without enough recovery but there are often multiple contributing factors:
Sudden increase in mileage or hill work
Weak calves or undertrained soleus muscle
Poor ankle mobility or limited dorsiflexion
Running gait that overloads the Achilles
Training in worn-out shoes or racing flats
Our job is to figure out which of these apply to you because it’s never a simple solution when it comes to this injury in runners.
Don’t Let Achilles Tendon Pain Derail Your Progress
Waiting too long before seeking professional help is the worst thing you can do for a tendon injury. Make sure you are proactive in how you approach Achilles tendinitis so that you don’t deal with months of frustration.
