partial tear- achilles

It sounds like your physio is doing everything right and that you should trust her.
You can have a MRI - but it'll really be for your piece of mind. I don't truely believe you need it... MRI's are most commonly used by surgeons to assess whether surgery is required. In your case you appear to have enough evidence to be confident with continuing down a conservative treatment pathway for now with a good physio guiding you (which I believe you have).
Good luck

Thanks for that, I actually had the Thompson test done on me last night and my foot flexed this time . Took 3weeks for this to happen!!!! Better late then never hey !!!! .. My physio seems to think that as my ankle and calf muscle were so swelled (and still are. WOW they are huge, very unattractive ) that is why I kept failing the calf squeeze..
