How did i get achilles tendonitis?

Overuse: Achilles tendonitis is an overuse syndrome like any other form of tendonitis. It is cause by repeated activities that cause strain and micro tears in the tissues. The best treatment is rest, ice, antiinflammatories and occasionally splinting/immobilization.
