Marc,
Achilles tendon injuries tend to get better with rest rather than physio. Which is quite difficult if you have an active job/lifestyle.. Probably need to rest the injury and if severe immobilise the ankle for some time to allow the Achilles to recover.
You can wear achilles Tendon support with Velcro fixings to adjust the tightness round the ankle but better to take advice from a physio.

I have seen your website. I am doing Ironman Wales on Sept 9th 2018. I have picked up an achilles injury when running last Thursday. (9 days ago)

I have used the RICE treatment and taken Ibuprofen. I did some light spinning and swam on weds only since.

I attempted a 750m light run last night and still tender.

Would a sports massage do the trick.if so what is the cost etc. And do you open weekend or evenings.

Thanks
Marc
