therapy is very painful

HI, can anybody tell me if athletic therapy is suppose to be painful. I have achilles tendinits and retro-calcaneal bursitis and i've been going to athletic therapy where the theraist does manual techniques, which are extremely painful. Is this going to make my conditions worse??
