Abstract
Achillodynia has its cause in disorders in the M. gastrocnemius due to overcharge of this muscle. Painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon and the necrosis of tendon are a secondary phenomena. We describe a new type of manual therapy for these problems. The results of our treatment in 35 patients are discussed.
