Specific techniques for Achilles pain much better than other PT.

“Prior to coming into PT: Stiff, pain and swelling of the Achilles; painful with first step out of bed; weaker in calf muscles; less active. Now: Stiffness is less; pain is much less unless I over-exercise; swelling of Achilles and the ankle is much less, & step out of bed is less painful. Strengthening exercises are very helpful (I need to get better at doing them more regularly!) The instructions and attention to detail when I do them has very much helped me. The specific techniques used in treating the stiffness, etc. is much more effective than other PTs I had before on this foot. The SOL physical therapists and physical therapy aides have been great in answering all my questions. Thank you!” -N.B.
