When the tendon is asked to handle more load than it’s prepared for, it starts to become irritated.

How it shows up

You might notice:

• Pain or stiffness in the back of the heel
• Tightness in the calf, especially in the morning
• Pain at the start of activity that may improve as you warm up
• Discomfort with running, jumping, or pushing off
• Pain that returns after activity or the next day

How we help

At CSPC, we focus on building the tendon’s ability to handle load—not just calming symptoms.

Your plan is built around:

• Reducing irritation and managing symptoms
• Improving ankle mobility
• Building strength in the calf and lower leg
• Gradually reloading the tendon in a structured way
• Increasing your tolerance to running, jumping, and training

The goal is to build a stronger, more resilient tendon so you can stay active without constant flare-ups.

Your plan is built around:

• Reducing irritation and calming symptoms
• Improving mobility at the hips and ankles
• Building strength in the quads and glutes
• Improving movement patterns during running and lifting
• Gradually increasing your tolerance to activity

The goal is to get you back to running and training without that pain constantly coming back.
