Achilles Tendon Lengthening refers mostly to a surgical procedure whereby the tendon is stretched to allow a child or adult to walk flat-footed without a bend in the knee or to relieve chronic pain. The procedure is designed to lengthen a tendon that has not formed properly or has been injured.
1 Treatment generally consists of the clinician rubbing the affected area(s) with the handheld stainless steel Graston Technique instruments, using very specific, calculated massage techniques.2  Treatment time is usually 30 to 60 seconds per area treated. If any soreness is felt after the procedure, ice application for 15 to 20 minutes following the treatment may ease the discomfort. 2  It is recommended that an exercise, stretching, and strengthening program be used in conjunction with the Graston Technique to rehabilitate the back and help the injured tissues heal.
