Runners have a big discussion about foot pain, and many people have all kinds of pain points... One of the more common questions is whether a simple heel pain is Achilles tendonitis.
So today, we will talk to you about what this tormenting Achilles tendonitis is.
01
Where does it hurt to be Achilles tendonitis?
Like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis almost always occurs on the supporting leg. But the difference is that there are many points of pain in Achilles tendonitis, so we can consider whether the Achilles tendon is inflamed in many places. These include pain in the Achilles tendon, pain between the Achilles tendon and calf, and pain in the connection between the bones and the Achilles tendon.
So where is the Achilles tendon? It's actually the back of the ankle, the part that connects the foot to the calf. There's inflammation here, and it's really torturous for the runners, who are athletes with their legs.
Manifestations of inflammation vary depending on the severity. Some will be warm, others will be swollen. If the outside of your running shoes is heavily worn, you also need to take care to prevent Achilles tendonitis from occurring.
02
Why do I get Achilles tendonitis?
Calf weakness during running is the main cause of Achilles tendonitis. Swelling of the calf muscles, too stiff muscles, too relaxed, etc., can lead to Achilles tendonitis. Therefore, in fact, Achilles tendonitis is still very frequent.
During running, we pay attention to the state and posture of the calf, which can effectively alleviate the occurrence of various inflammations;
Paying attention to the force of the thighs and sending the hips can help us speed up;
Paying attention to the straightness of the upper body and the strength of the core muscles can help us reduce the burden on key parts such as the waist and legs.
So, while speed is exciting, it's a consistent, good running posture that lasts.
03
How to improve Achilles tendonitis?
Severe medical attention is required, and daily improvement can be made. That's our advice for injuries.
For the treatment of Achilles tendonitis, we recommend two movements that are very easy to use and easy to do.
The first is the bowing pose. Mimicking a bowing position, the injured foot takes a step forward, then relaxes the upper limb and slowly leans forward. This pose helps us to stretch the posterior tendon on the back of the leg.
The second is to rub the soles of the feet. Raise Erlang's legs, then press the thumb ball part of the injured foot with your left hand, hold the heel with your right hand, and rub it outward.
Friends with Achilles tendonitis should pay special attention not to overdo running exercises, and relieving inflammation first is the scientific way to run for a long time.
