  • As it’s the Rugby World Cup, we thought this was the ideal time to write a blog about how we have helped rugby players with Achilles Tendon Rupture recovery. One of our customers was the fantastic George Ford. Just recently, he steered England to a triumphant victory over Argentina and we look forward to supporting him in the rest of the season.
