A member asked:
Doc told me i have achilles tendonitis. last couple of weeks my heels has been painful and burning need some help on what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch: Typically achilles pain is from lack of flexibility combined with some life or lifestyle change. The problem with both the hamstring and calf muscles is that they cross two major joints. In the case of the achilles, it it the knee and the ankle. Therefore, achilles tendonitis is typical in people who sit too much, then try to be upright and active. Stretch hamstrings and calves 3-5x per day.
