Huddersfield - but if he was in Sheffield I’d travel there!!
Never known any massage techniques that have done anything but make the area considerably more painful.
Had to be heated a fair bit and regularly and lightly massages and it worked a treat. Benefit of a good physio who knows their stuff!!
I had a long running Achilles problem and ended up being treated on the NHS with a couple of high volume injections in each over a period of 2 years, and a long period of eccentric stretches/ strengthening.
I still get a niggle now and again but it's been really good, I don't run as much as I used to so maybe that's helped too.

Huddersfield isn't too far away, plus I've a riding buddy up there. Got any details for this chap?
PM sent!
The more recent evidence suggested that heavy slow contraction is most effective with less emphasis on eccentric contraction. Load to the point of pain and moderate if base line pain is worse 24 hours after exercise
