It is quite normal to experience sporadic increases or flareup in pain when you have Achilles tendonitis or tendinopathy. In this video, Maryke explains why this happens and how you can calm it down quickly so you can get on with your rehab.

Maryke mentions heelraising shoe inserts (remember to use them in both shoes) and applying ice as two ways of calming down the pain from an Achilles flareup. Get it here:
