    The rupture of the Achilles tendon, which is the loss of continuity of the tendon fibers the same as occurs for different reasons, either traumatic or inflammatory processes, occurs at any time of life which disturbs the normal development activities in a standing position; This alteration will lead to trigger many limitations including functional, psychological, labor and economic. 95% of Achilles tendon ruptures are attributed to inflammatory and degenerative processes in the anatomical-functional tendon structure; in most cases it is given by a mechanical alteration and other alterations are unspecific character; highlighting including degeneration of the tendon sheath covering the tendon, by dehydration, micro trauma repetitive given by the inappropriate use of footwear in sports, lack of adaptability of anatomical structures to develop activities to which the tendon it is not conditioned, which ends at the achilles tendon rupture. Among the most characteristic symptom is pain with specific functional impotence, claudication gait and edema Achilles tendon. It will be the feeling of having received a blow or electric shock accompanied a snap and paresthesia (tingling) in the affected limb. Symptoms vary; and it is related to the way in which the injury occurred it could be: abrupt start, false step, a jump, unexpected movement, and rarely when performing ambulation. For this project was taken as a reference hydrokinesitherapy as it is one of the physical agents used by physiotherapists since it allows multiple uses as treatment techniques. The characteristics and properties that water has are very helpful. The Hydrokinesitherapy combined with multiple movements in the water, this technique has been perfected over time, with the use of physical laws and with the knowledge that the human body is also subject to these laws, also taking into account that the body inside of its main components is the water, the effects suffered by being immersed in water are amazing, ranging from physical, metabolic and psychological effects. The hydrokinesitherapy as physiotherapy technique has allowed derivations of many new techniques are performed but always sustained in the basic principles of hydrokinesitherapy, this allows exploit the physical properties of the immersion which develops and enhances the body important factors for recovery as they are : improve proprioception, develop balance, correct the body schema, which will make a further positional changes in different axes in order to get a correct and proper motor memory which allow it to be reproduced out of the water.
