can you help and tell me what are the causes behind Achilles tendon or calcaneal tendon, or tendo calcaneus ?
Thanks in advance

Achilles tendon is for jumping, getting started, being fast. If it is weakened, there is a self-devaluation regarding this going on. If it is calcified, there have been several occasions of conflict and resolution.

__Lisbeth Lundgaard Metafys__
 Yes I agree. To add there is an awareness about finally moving away from something that has been holding you back, and the regeneration symptoms can sometimes trigger you back into the stress fase, because your pain prevents you from moving forward

 I had a client with arthritis in Achilles heal. She was a teacher and she was surprised by her head master that she needed to prepare for inspection in 8 months to keep the job. She passed that and then the pain started. But she also had the kidney conflict active. She is arthritis free after several EFT sessions.

 Achilles tendon is the reason we can stand up. Achilles tendon pulls the weight of the body to stand in erect position. Inflamed tendon has to do with the ability to stand up successfully. The story of the client in Magdalena Szpilka post illustrates how the tendon inflamed after success of the standing erect test against the challenge.

I'm a perfect example for both ankle and tendons, and both "to stand up for oneself" and "move forward" apply.

When I was at age 20 in a very demanding situation where I couldn't stand up for myself but fought for my "roots" (my parents), I got both a sepsis from the heel (blood, family & identity), and the bones in my left ankle weakened and the joint "crooked". After resolution, the joint stabilized but stayed reinforced in ligaments and tendons. That didn't stop me from running a half-marathon with this condition though. I have integrated it and take care of it.

In recent years, I developed reinforcement or a bursa mostly at the right achilles tendon (not at the insertion but behind the ankle). I felt the need to move something forward while being true to myself plus to "buffer", which kept me constantly engaged with partner and peers. It's not painful and doesn't bother me in moving, and it's got generally better, but the connective tissue is reinforced.

Thanks All ..

 A question for the client: Where are you not feeling supported or trusting yourself to move in a direction you want, and maybe needing someone else to approve?
