Active or Running Athlete Hindered by Achilles Tendon Pain?
A Personal Message From Dr. Lynne G. Virant

- Are you worried about Achilles tendon pain that doesn’t go away no matter what you do?
- Have you tried pain medications and stretches only to discover temporary relief (or none at all)?
- Are you someone who values their health and is looking for a long-term solution to stay active without Achilles tendonitis getting in the way?
If You Answered “Yes” To Any Of These Questions,
You Are In The Right Place!
If that’s happening to you, you’re definitely not alone, and we hear this type of thing all the time.
In fact, Achilles tendonitis is one of the most common problems that we see in our Pensacola clinic!
Before Coming Into The Movement Clinic In Pensacola, Many Of Our Patients Suffering From Achilles Tendon Pain Are…
FALSELY Told…
- Your calves are tight and you need to roll them out.
- Just “stretch” and your achilles tendonitis will go away (then months later they’re still suffering…)
- It’s “normal” with certain activities that involve running, jumping, and pivoting movements.
- To keep active you’ll just have to rest and take more time off between runs, walks, or activities.
But, The TRUTH Is...
- Your calves may be tight, but rolling them won’t provide a permanent fix.
- Stretching doesn’t change anything. Stretching may actually make your injury worse!
- It’s not normal to get achilles tendonitis because of regular activities like running, jumping, or pivoting.
- Resting doesn’t fix the problem. It will only provide you with a short period of relief.

When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Achilles Tendonitis…
- You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up suffering from achilles tendonitis longer than necessary or trying treatments you could actually avoid (like using a brace or getting surgery).
- It’s possible to treat achilles tendonitis naturally without invasive treatments. In fact, that’s the best way to stop your achilles tendonitis and keep it from ever returning.
- To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place.
- That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At The Movement Clinic We’ve Created A 3 Step Process To Get Rid Of Your Achilles Tendon Pain AND Make Sure It Stays Away.

STEP 1
We Get to Know YOU
Our FIRST step is to get to know YOU and YOUR unique story.
No two injuries are alike and although many people may suffer from achilles tendon pain, each person has his or her unique body, history, and concerns.
We take the time to better understand your needs, how limitations are impacting your daily life as well as your running/walking and what goals you want to achieve.
STEP 2
We Implement YOUR Customized Plan Together
YOU need a plan tailored to YOUR needs and goals.
When you partner with The Movement Clinic, we work TOGETHER with you as a team to set up YOUR customized plan so you can recover better, faster and stronger and get back to running and walking!
STEP 3
We Coach and Teach You How to Be Active FOR LIFE
“What would be possible if achilles tendon pain or injury wasn’t keeping you from running or walking?”
When you are hurting, it’s difficult to see beyond the struggle and all you can think about is not hurting.
Once you are feeling better…. YOUR vision of running and walking becomes even greater!
Suddenly there are no limits and we coach and teach you ways to think and move so you can take charge of your health.
Finally Get Rid Of Your Achilles Tendonitis And Keep It From Coming Back!
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love over problems that can be fixed.
Let’s chat about how you can feel like yourself again.
Sincerely,
