Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury affecting both athletes and the general population, leading to symptoms of pain, swelling and stiffness. The Achilles tendon originates from the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) and inserts into the heel bone of the foot. (refer to image below).  Overuse can cause damage to the tendon, which may ultimately lead to pain and stiffness.

Plantar fasciitis often presents as pain in the bottom of the heel. The plantar fascia is a band like structure that runs along the plantar (bottom) aspect on your foot. From your heel to your toes (refer to image). This structure can become painful due to local inflammation. This causes the plantar fascia to become thickened in size, which can be confirmed by ultrasound in most (but not all) cases. Tight calves are commonly associated with plantar fasciitis as it contributes to  tightness along the band. ​
