Description
The Actimove Professional Line AchilloMotion Achilles Tendon Support places two anatomically shaped pressure pads alongside the Achilles tendon, massaging it with every step inside a charcoal 3D flat-knit sleeve. Four sizes, Medium to 2X-Large, are set by the circumference just above the ankle.
- Pads Beside the Tendon – two integrated pressure pads run parallel to the Achilles tendon for targeted pressure
- Massage With Movement – the pads give an intermittent massage effect as you walk, supporting pain relief and healing
- Heel Wedge Included – a firm reusable self-adhesive heel wedge comes with the support to add lift under the heel
Targeted Pressure for a Tendon That Protests Every Step
Achilles tendon pain builds quietly, from the first stiff steps out of bed to the ache that follows a long day on hard floors. This support answers at the tendon itself, where two anatomically shaped pads sit parallel to it inside the knit. Their targeted pressure works with the tendon as it moves instead of simply squeezing the whole ankle.
The anatomical 3D flat-knitted structure provides gradient medical compression and stability while it helps reduce swelling around the tendon. A Motion-Comfort-Zone at the instep keeps the front of the ankle comfortable in flexion, and the slanted upper cuff with anti-slip cuffs holds the sleeve where it belongs. A donning aid helps it on, and the included heel wedge adds lift that eases the load on the tendon.

Why Choose the Actimove Professional Line AchilloMotion Achilles Tendon Support?
A plain ankle sleeve compresses everything and targets nothing. This support was engineered around one structure, the Achilles tendon, with pads shaped to sit beside it and a wedge to unload it. For tendon pain that needs more than a generic squeeze, that focus is the point.
- Pressure at the Tendon – the pads sit parallel to the Achilles tendon instead of pressing blindly around the ankle
- Relief That Moves With You – the intermittent massage effect works while you walk, not only at rest
- Wedge Under the Heel – the included self-adhesive heel wedge adds lift that reduces the strain on the tendon
- Professional Line Design – the AchilloMotion build is the Actimove Professional Line entry made specifically for the Achilles tendon
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this support help with?
It is built for Achilles tendon pain, using two pressure pads parallel to the tendon for targeted pressure and an intermittent massage effect that supports pain relief and healing. Its gradient compression also helps reduce swelling around the tendon.
What is the heel wedge for?
The support includes a firm reusable self-adhesive heel wedge that sits inside the shoe under the heel. The added lift shortens the range the tendon works through, which eases its load while you walk.
How do I choose a size?
Measure the circumference just above the ankle and match it to the recorded ranges in the specifications, which run from 8-1/4 to 10-1/2 inches across Medium to X-Large. The 2X-Large is the largest size in this listing, above the recorded X-Large range.
Does it contain latex?
No. The support is not made with natural rubber latex, and its materials are OEKO-TEX certified.

This listing is the charcoal colourway in four sizes. The manufacturer also makes this support in white, which is not part of this listing.
