Getting healty in the offseason!

Achilles Tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles' tendon, which is caused by overuse activities such as explosive change of direction or rebounding, as well as decreased calf strength and flexibility. Symptoms include tenderness and swelling over the tendon and pain with walking, stairs, and running. Treatment includes ice, anti-inflammatories, flexibility training, and lower extremity strengthening. Foot biomechanics and proper footwear should also be addressed.
