Achilles Red Flags - When to Seek Urgent Help for your Achilles Pain!

There are certain signs and symptoms that can indicate that you have had a serious injury (like a tear or a rupture) to your Achilles tendon. It is extremely important that you see a doctor and have a scan done as soon as possible if you suspect that you may have torn your Achilles tendon, as delaying can affect your healing. In this video, Alison explains what signs and symptoms we look out for in our assessments that tell us that you may have torn your Achilles. She also explains what you should then do.
