Medi Achimed Achilles Tendon Support

The Medi Achimed Achilles Tendon Support (and heel wedges) provide support to your achilles tendon and come with an integrated, anatomically-formed silicone pad that helps to add comfort. The compressive support features an elastic, breathable and moisture transporting Clima Comfort knitted fabric providing optimum comfort while remaining hygienic and preventing bad odours.

The Achilles Tendon Support's silicone insert and compression give a massaging effect which promotes the healing process. The optional heel wedges reduce painful tension on the Achilles tendon and should be worn in both shoes to equalise leg length. The knitted "Comfort Zone" placed over the instep prevents constriction and eases pressure.

Who Can Make Gains with the Achimed Achilles Tendon Support?

Due to the amount of stress that most sports place on the feet and ankles, the Medi Achimed Achilles Tendon Support is ideal for many people suffering with Achilles problems. Sports that can cause Achilles tendon problems include running, gymnastics, dance, football, basketball and tennis. The support is also suitable for people suffering from inflammation, and for aiding with rehabilitation.
