TREATMENT OPTIONS
INITIAL CONSULTATION
£65
This is the minimum that you need to get you started on your recovery journey. This covers Step 1 and Step 2 of our four-step programme.
At the end of the 45-minute session you will have:
-
A diagnosis of your injury;
-
A clear understanding of what has caused your injury and what factors may be contributing to your tendon pain;
-
A beginners training programme (with pictures and videos of your exercises) that will strengthen your Achilles and the rest of your body while allowing your injury to heal;
-
An understanding of how to alter your current sports activities to allow your Achilles to recover while you maintain your fitness;
-
Clear targets that you should hit before our next follow-up session.
It is advisable to book your first follow-up consultation one week after your initial consultation so that we can assess how your injury reacted to the training programme and make adjustments if needed to ensure that it is at the right level for you.
Depending on what is most appropriate for your case, your physio will then either set you exercise targets or advise on what time interval is best to leave until your next follow-up. Your exercises have to be adjusted as your injury recovers, otherwise the recovery will stagnate.
You can find out more about our online consultation process in this blog post.
Follow-Up Session
£45
Your treatment plan and training programme have to be updated and progressed as your injury heals. You should book a follow-up session every time you hit the targets that were set during the previous consultation.
Most people find that they hit their targets roughly every 2 weeks, but you can decide the best intervals for you.
What this includes:
-
30-minute video call consultation;
-
Re-evaluation and testing;
-
Set new targets and adjust programme intensity depending on progress.
Complete Package
£261
This includes everything you get in the Initial Consultation but also Step 3 and Step 4, which is a minimum of 5 extra follow-up sessions. These sessions are usually done at two-weekly intervals but it will all depend on when you hit your targets.
We find that on average most of our patients reach a level where they can self-manage their injury after this period. The aim of the Complete Package is to:
-
Get you to a point where your Achilles is robust enough for you to continue your treatment on your own;
-
Provide you with the knowledge on how to safely progress your sports activities;
-
Provide you with a specific Achilles strength training programme that will protect you from developing Achilles pain in the future;
-
Provide you with a strength training programme for the rest of your body.
Unfortunately not everyone's Achilles injuries recover within this time frame. If you've not reached a point where you can self-mange your Achilles within this period and need more follow-up sessions, you can book them individually.
All packages expire after 12 months. You can read more about packages here.
