Achilles tendon treatment using scar tissue mobilization and massage. Achilles tendonitis or Achilles tendinopathy / tendinosis (degeneration of the tendon) can often occur after an injury or because of overuse. Keep in mind this is not an inflammation to the tendon, there are not inflammatory cells present. It’s wear and tear with excessive thickening and weakness of the tendon. A common problem for runners and is often due to poor foot mechanics, weak foot muscles and weakness of hip muscles.
