BEST WAY TO AVOID OR TREAT ACHILLES TENDONITIS

If you're fair dinkum about avoiding or treating Achilles tendonitis I recommend you get the book 'Fix Achilles Pain'.

The causes
What I’m about to give you is firstly information about the likely causes of Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calf and shin pain. I suspect there is more than one cause.

The exercises
Secondly, I’ll show you some of the key exercises you need to do to get you Achilles, sole of the feet, calves and shins back into a pain-free state.

The therapy
Thirdly I’ll outline a strategy designed to get you back into action as quickly as possible. This strategy will rely on an intensive rehab program and the synergistic effect of a wide range of modalities and actions you can take. A few percentage points here, a few percentage points there will all mount up toward quickly restoring poor function to good.

In a long (and not all that distinguished) athletic career I’ve experienced Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calf and shin pain myself, on numerous occasions so I know that getting rid of the dysfunctions underlying these conditions can be a tough assignment. Certainly it’s going to require some bio-mechanical adjustments, some of which you can do yourself and some requiring the expertise of therapists.

There is work to be done to square your feet up so when they strike the ground they’re not putting undue pressure on your Achilles, calves and shins. For that you may need inserts or orthotics and good shoes.

There may be work that needs to be done to square up your legs and pelvis. You’ll need to do that yourself.

And then there are the passive palliative treatments, anti-inflammatory medication, massage, physio, acupuncture, Bowen therapy, ice, heat, strengthening and stretching.

It’s all a bit tricky and it could take longer than you’d like, but bit by bit there’s a good chance you’ll gradually be able to restore poor function to good.

And finally, to reinforce the point, the fix will probably come from the synergistic effect of a whole lot of things you do.

That's the secret to dramatically reducing Achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis’ calf and shin pain.

The Fix Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Calf and Shin Pain ebook is a part of the Global Back Care series of ebooks. I’d encourage you to obtain a copy of the Fix Back Pain ebook. It contains a more detailed outline of the nature of musculo-skeletal pain and more detailed descriptions of the exercises designed to get your body back into better alignment.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and remember, it's a big asking to get better by having someone do something to you, sooner or later you have to do something to yourself..
