Achilles Tendon Ruptures

Here at Peninsula Ankle Rehabilitation we are at the forefront in both the non-surgical management and the post surgical management of Achilles tendon ruptures.

 

We have helped establish and update protocols for our local surgeons and we are currently on a national working group looking specifically at the management and rehabilitation of these injuries.

 

We are involved in research looking at the long term function of delayed Achilles ruptures following non-surgical management and we have presented our findings to the Australian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.

 

Our protocols are supported by all the recent evidence and are regularly updated. We incorporate all the latest findings on tendon loading into our exercise programs that extend beyond the boot restrictions and up to returning to sport and work.
