In this brief video, Jorge Obando, a certified massage therapist at Capitol Rehab of Arlington, VA, discusses Achilles tendinitis and the benefits of massage therapy to reduce pain. Jorge talks about how the overuse of certain muscles leads to tendinitis in the achilles area.

Repetitive stress on the tendons and muscles causes micro tears leading to inflammation and tendinitis. Scar tissue builds up preventing proper range of motion. It's important to have any injuries assessed by a certified massage therapist, physical therapist or chiropractor to ensure an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Massage therapists combine various modalities that address chronic tightness to improve mobility and help the muscles balance out and bring back lost flexibility. Massage therapists can also assess weakness in glute muscles, hamstrings or even calf muscles to determine the origin of the Achilles tendinitis.
