ACHILLES TENDON
The Achilles tendon is the thick cord you can feel at the back of your ankle that attaches
the calf muscle to the back of your heel. It is the thickest and strongest tendon in your
body, supporting forces up to four times your body weight. Our Achilles tendon helps to
move your foot and ankle and perform basic movements such as walking, running, jumping
and climbing stairs.
