Prevention and Coping with Achilles Tendonitis

New York (USA), June 17, 2013

Preventive and Coping Tips for Achilles Tendonitis

1. It is mandatory to warm up before starting any exercises. Muscles loosen in warm up sessions. Thereafter your exercises exert hardly any pressure on Achilles tendon. Similarly include simple stretching exercises as a part of your cool-down routine.

2. You should always increase duration and intensity of exercises gradually. This holds greater importance if you have been inactive for quite some time or if starting with a new sport or workout.

3. Maintain necessary flexibility of muscles at all times and keep muscles strong and healthy. Strong and flexible muscles put less stress on tendon.

4. Maintain a healthy and normal body weight. Exercise all the different muscles groups of your body and do not put pressure on any specific muscle group alone.

5. Exercise on soft surfaces like grass or synthetic tracks. Avoid hard tracks like asphalt or concrete as these exert greater pressure on tendon, joints, and calf muscles.

6. Wear shoes of correct size and good quality. Shoes should match your sport. Visit a sports store and seek professional help to select shoes that are best suited for your type of sport. Also, shoes should conform to your feet type.

7. Replace shoes before they are totally worn out. Ill-fitting shoes do not provide essential support to tendon.

8. Refrain from wearing high-heeled footwear regularly. Keeping feet in such position shortens calf muscles and reduces tendon flexibility.
