Is it alright to go to a massage therapist with achilles tendonitis?

May be helpful: Not only is it alright, but it actually may help resolve the problem. In many forms of tendonitis, manual deep tissue massage is part of the prescribed treatment. Combined with stretching and eccentric loading exercise, you very well may solve your problem.
