This condition most definitely can be treated with physical therapy. He should be able to recover somewhat quickly with manual therapy, eccentric strengthening, and biomechanics training for improving movement patterns.

Hi,

Achilles Tendonitis can cause a lot of disability and pain. If you have a loss of range of motion, limping, and pain, get it checked out! You might look into physical therapy. A trained PT can help with pain reduction, prescribing the right exercises for your hubby and relieve pain.
