Achilles rehab at Forza is one-on-one physiotherapy for Achilles tendon pain, often called Achilles tendinitis or tendinopathy, and for rehab after an Achilles rupture or repair.

Who it is for. Runners and active people with pain at the back of the heel or ankle, stiffness first thing in the morning, or pain that builds with running and jumping. It is also for people recovering from an Achilles rupture, with or without surgery.

Your first visit. Your first appointment is a 45 or 60-minute one-to-one assessment. Your physiotherapist reviews your history, training and any surgery, screens how you walk, hop and load the tendon and measures your calf strength on both sides. You leave with a staged loading plan.

Follow-up sessions. Sessions progress your tendon loading step by step, from heavy slow calf work to hopping and running drills, and your physiotherapist adjusts your running or training around it. Follow-ups are one-on-one for the whole session: 45 minutes is $145 and 60 minutes is $190, and your physiotherapist will talk through how often to come in rather than sell you a fixed package.

Fees. A 45-minute initial assessment is $145 and a 60-minute initial assessment is $190. Forza direct bills most major extended health plans in BC, and you do not need a doctor's referral to book.

Not sure where to start? Book a free 10-minute discovery call with a physiotherapist, or book online when you are ready.

When we refer you on. If your assessment points to something that needs a doctor, imaging or a specialist first, your physiotherapist will tell you and help you arrange it. Physiotherapy at Forza works alongside your family doctor and surgeon, not instead of them.
