Yeah I know…I’m just full of problems.
About 5 months ago, I managed to injure my Achilles tendon. For awhile the pain was bad whenever I ran or made and sudden moves involving my feet. It has healed up for the most part, and I can even run short distances. However, when I do any large amounts of walking, I find it starting to throb. I’ve tried calf stretches and ankle rotations with little to no success. Can you suggest anything to help it heal for good? Thanks.
Achillles tendon takes long time to heal best advice is to let it rest and recover.
I am currently studying A&P as relates to massage and bodywork. Ligaments and tendons have few blood cells and are very slow to heal. the degree of injury, whether mild, moderate or severe, relates to how much of the connective tissue has been stretched (mild), damaged (moderate) or broken up/torn (severe). Professor states to expect 85% recovery strength 1 year post injury.
Hope this helps!
Namaste,
