Physiotherapy

http://www.physioroom.com/

They say:
"PhysioRoom.com, ... sports injury Website... We provide a healthcare resource for all, with detailed information about the most common sports injuries to affect both professional and recreational athletes. We walk you through the nature of injuries, how they're diagnosed and treated, and what the rehabilitation practices involve. What's more, we promise to explain the jargon!"

Within 5 seconds I'd found
"Achilles tendinopathy usually comes on gradually, and is more common in those aged over 40. There is pain, which is worsened by activity, and the focal areas of degeneration feel tender to touch. Often the tendon feels very stiff first thing in the morning. The affected tendon may appear thickened in comparison to the unaffected side."

That's me, in a nutshell.
