How to prevent achilles tendinitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achilles Tendonitis: The Achilles Tendon is the longest, strongest and thickest tendon in the body. Proper stretching before and after exercise and proper warm ups before exercise are essential for tendon health. Proper foot and biomechanical function, aided by the use of orthotics (arch supports) can help to prevent injury. If you have had problems in the past, it is essential you are healed before new activity
