The Achilles Tendon is located in the lower, back part of the leg. The Achilles Tendon is heavily used in sporting and daily activity and is an energy storing tendon. This means that it builds energy up and releases it at the point of the body needing it. This gives us the ability to propel ourselves forward when running or walking.
The location of the Achilles does lend itself to becoming irritated and inflamed at times. With it being used in everyday life, it can sometimes be hard to avoid this problem occurring. The most common reason for pain is known as Achilles tendinopathy.
