Prevention and Coping with Achilles Tendinosis

New York (USA), June 17, 2013

Preventing Achilles Tendinosis

Achilles tendinosis is a chronic condition and complete healing or cure is a distant proposition. Yet, simple preventive and coping measures help you overcome major disabilities occurring due to this ailment even in case of foot deformities. Your body gives various signals to indicate stress and overload. Pain and soreness in Achilles tendon region during activity, stiffness after inactivity, heaviness and discomfort, pain continuing even after stopping exercises are common indicators of over-worked muscles.

Recurrent pain indicates escalating tendon injury. Note these indicators and adopt steps to control them. Reduce intensity of training. Reduce workout time. Adopt cross training techniques like alternating high impact exercises or activities like walking and running with low impact activities like swimming or biking.

Coping with Achilles Tendinosis

Tendon care should start from the earliest possible stages. Otherwise, continuous overload causes numerous microscopic tears that eventually develop into scar tissue. This enlarges tendon and causes immense pain. Stretch tendon not only before you are exercising, but also as soon as you get up in the morning. Early morning stretching reduces and eradicates stiffness of tendon, a very common symptom of tendinosis.

Maintain sufficient strength in calf muscles. Adopt strengthening exercises with bands and weights for at least thrice a week. Do warm up exercises and other stretching exercises daily. This keeps Achilles tendon flexible and reduces further chances of tear or injury to tendon.
