Achilles Heel Clinic Glasgow - What We Do
If you've been nursing a niggling injury, dealing with chronic pain, or just want to perform at your best, you've probably wondered where to turn. Here at Achilles Heel Clinic in Glasgow, we've built our reputation on getting people back to doing what they love – whether that's running marathons, training for your first 5k, or simply walking without pain.
Let's break down what we offer and how each treatment might be what you need.
Physiotherapy: The Foundation of Recovery
Our physio services are the backbone of what we do. This isn't just about giving you a few exercises and sending you on your way – it's about really understanding what's going on with your body and creating a proper plan to fix it.
Our physiotherapists assess your injury, identify the root cause (not just the symptoms), and work with you through hands-on treatment and tailored exercise programmes. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with a sports injury, or managing long-term conditions, our team will guide you through every step of your recovery journey.

Sports Massage: More Than Just Relaxation
Think sports massage is only for athletes? Think again. Yes, we work with plenty of runners, footballers, and gym enthusiasts, but sports massage is brilliant for anyone dealing with muscle tension, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
Our sports massage therapists use techniques to release tight muscles, improve circulation, and speed up recovery. It's particularly great if you're training for an event, but it's equally valuable if you've spent years hunched over a desk and your shoulders are screaming at you. Regular sessions can prevent injuries before they happen – which is always better than fixing them afterwards.

Podiatry: Your Feet Deserve Better
Your feet carry you everywhere, yet they're often the most neglected part of your body. Our podiatry services cover everything from routine foot care to complex biomechanical assessments.
Our podiatrists can assess your walking pattern, prescribe custom orthotics, and help with conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and diabetic foot care. If you're a runner with recurring injuries, there's a decent chance it all starts with how your foot hits the ground, and that's where podiatry comes in.

Shockwave Therapy: The Game-Changer
This one sounds a bit sci-fi, but shockwave therapy has become one of our most requested treatments – and for good reason. It uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in stubborn injuries that just won't shift with conventional treatment.
Chronic Achilles tendonitis? Plantar fasciitis that's been hanging around for months? Tennis elbow? Shockwave therapy can break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and kickstart your body's natural healing process. It's non-invasive, and while it might be a bit uncomfortable during treatment, many patients see significant improvement after just a few sessions.

Nutrition: Fuel Your Recovery
Here's something people often overlook – you can't out-treat a poor diet. Our nutrition services complement all our other treatments because what you put in your body directly affects how well you heal and perform.
Whether you're trying to lose weight, fuel your training properly, manage a health condition, or just eat better, our nutrition advice is practical and realistic. No fad diets or nonsense – just evidence-based guidance tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and any dietary requirements you have. Proper nutrition can reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and give you the energy you need to stick with your rehab programme.
