Brief Summary
448kilohertz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency is a novel technique in physiotherapy and its usefulness and clinical relevance is still to be investigated at both clinical practice and also in performance. Current studies show promising results in different musculoskeletal disorders, however there no studies in the assessment of quality soft tissue in sporty population after the used of this technique.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change from Baseline in Achilles Tendon measured by quantified elastography imaging at 3 months. time (t) 1(prior to treatment), t2 (immediately after the treatment), t3 (3 months later).
The elastography is obtained when the anatomic image on grayscale ultrasound overlaps parametric color image that expresses the rate of deformity of the tissues, soft tissues tend to develop greater deformity and tissue deformity have lower rigidity.
time (t) 1(prior to treatment), t2 (immediately after the treatment), t3 (3 months later). Changes in tendinous thickness [ Time Frame: 9 months ]
