Achilles Tendon - The strong tendon joining the muscles in the calf of the leg to the
bone of the heel. Achilles gets its name from one of the most illustrious greek
mythological warriors. Achilles was the offspring of a sea nymph who sought to
achieve immortality for her son by dipping him in the river Styx in Hades. holding
Achilles by the heel, she left this one area unprotected. later, in the Trojan War,
he was fatally wounded when an arrow struck the very spot where he was vulnerable.
Night Splints are used to stretch the achilles
tendon.
