Achilles heel care

My 11 year old daughter bruised or strained her heel/achilles area. We have iced it and after a few days seems to get better. If she plays in a tournament where she plays a couple of games in a day the pain seems to come back. Any suggestions on treatment and support?

Thanks.
Bill
