I’m shitting rn bad

This is brilliant. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you.

Is this only for k-tape? What about other tape specifically athletic tape solutions?

Achilles himself could not have explained this better. This was super helpful. Thank you 🫶

Thank you

I fractued my ankle many months ago, it has been fully healed for a while but my achilies still just feels tight and my knees cannot go over my toes. Are static stretches recommended?

It is heel in one foot and it is just behind the ankle in other. And the pain is at worse when I get up in the morning.

I was using that Blue Prostretch thing. Should I D/C that?

Thanks for this video. I started having achilles issues nearly two years ago. I haven't had direct pain for a year only soreness on palpation - if I pinch the achilles right after activity, whether running, cycling, walking. Would love to hear how you think about that symptom!

I am a triathlete, had a high tendon injury, rehab and recovered, it took me about months. But I never had the feeling that I could push on the runs training intervals or long distances reducing my performance. Finally, got impatient start pushing again to my previous level and here I'm now with a reinjured Achilles tendon 😢

If we feel like burning in upper portion on ankle what symptoms it should called

This has been such a great video to watch! I've tried acupunture, ultrasound, shock wave therapy nothing has had a long term benefit. So the doctors said I could have steroid injection and I immediately refused. I want to get to the bottom of it not mask my pain even further. What I got from your video is keep at it with rehab and ill see positive changes! I have periods of no pain/stiffness at all and them BHAM its back! Which causes me so much anxiety..Thank you for this amazing vid you know exactly what your talking about! I've suffered with this on and off for more than 15 years! And I still don't know what triggered it in the first place😢 my ones in the mid zone. Im doing the heel drops on stairs as well as the sitting down raises. Anything I could possiblly change/add to my diet?

Iv had pain in the heel sole of my right foot since May iv seen a podiatrist 5 times now but things have got so much worse I now can not walk or put any pressure at all on the heel of my foot i was in so much pain i went to A&E but there was little they could do for me as the podiatrist has referred me to Msk when I told the podiatrist I went to A&E because of the pain she sent me for a Exray of my foot & asked again for a urgent appointment to msk , I'm on cruches i can not walk . I do have fibromyalgia really bad & she thinks it's nerve damage, what can be done to stop the pain I am all ready on a lot of pain relief & I take anti-inflammatories Iv done the stretching , iv bought a massage roller None of it has helped its getting worse

I’m thankful for the information about the antibiotics and the other steroid medication. I’m very happy to have listened to your clip.

Do you have any recommendations for cervical instability? How do you strengthen the tendon and ligaments?

And what happens if it is in the dorsiflexion position when it is painful? I have been having pain in my right ankle for 5 years now. One minute I am okay, the next I feel like something is pinching my ankle. I can have the pain for an hour, a day or 48 hrs. The last time it happened (a week ago) it hurt for a week. Then suddenly I feel like a crack and then I can move normally, as if the pain never existed. However, it is not in the back part of the ankle. It is in my right side of the ankle. Sometimes it expands to the anterior, posterior and other side (left) of the ankle. It started after I healed from an injury. They have done mri, x-rays, scan, ultrasounds, etc., everything is normal. After months and years of physiotherapy nothing has change. They were not sure what it was for the past 5 years. They thought it was because of the injury. One dr. said it was tendinitis, and gave me some orthotics, but they only made it worse. Then my other dr. said it was because of my arch and change my old orthotics to arch support orthotics. After 5 weeks of using them without really helping, he changed his approach and said that in my mri (or in the x-ray) and said that it was an ankle impingement due to Stieda process. He said that he was going to consult with a colleague that is an ankle specialist, and that if the non-invasive treatments didn’t work, I might need an arthroscopy. He is still reviewing my case because he is not 100% sure if that is my diagnosis. What you explain here is the closest to what I compare my symptoms, however it is the dorsiflexion that it is painful, and it is not in the back of the ankle, but in my lateral side.

Thank you for this very informative video! I have a question regarding posterior ankle impingement. Is it common for the pain to come on very acutely and sharply, but then subside quickly, leaving the ankle feeling almost normal until the next triggering movement? What could be causing this kind of intermittent pain?

I've run everyday for years. My Achilles was always a pain. I upped the stack every time to treat it right. Wrong. Injury is weakness and my Achilles was super weak from all the cushion. My vibrams and Vivo have made my Achilles completely pain free. Even after 30 miles runs. I wake up the next day and they feel no pain at all.

Wow this is an amazing video thank you. I think I was doing the opposite stretching and not letting it settle I will try this

Im so confused about what I have all I know is its so painful its like a burning sensation in my heel/tendon area. My ankle bone has swelling and slightly swollen around my tendon and the inside of my ankle bone area. If anything even touches my heel/tendon area bc it causes pain it started very slowly over time...and now I can't even walk without crutches and so much pain! I've been elevating it but just from walking to the bathroom and back throughout the day by the time im ready for bed i can't find a comfortable position to lay my leg bc by bedtime the pain has radiated all the way up my calf ugh its so painful oh and i cant even wiggle my toes so sometimes my foot will tingle like it has fallen asleep it drives me nuts bc i cant wiggle my toes to help that tingling sensation any idea on what I have i appreciate any and all help

Many thanks 🙏 I’m at my second week😅 my physio actually gave me shockwaves in the first week and it felt like hell afterwards. He wants me to go there next week as well to do it again, but I’m not so sure after watching this video🤔

I just going through this at the moment and it's is start just one morning and olso going through menopause.

My Achilles tendon is really sore after doing 6 mile walks. I’ve started strengthening exercises but they are really sore, is this normal? I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing or not. I’m still waiting for a physio appointment….I am in the UK so getting a physio appointment will be months away. Thanks…I walk a lot and I don’t know what to do to get this better.

Amazing! I wish I had watched the video before!

Is it a lack of vitamin deficiency?

Ever since Covid…

I've been running (maybe twice a month) in Altras for a year or so and they're really comfortable and enjoy them, however I did have some ITBS issues initially and now more recently the Achilles tendonitis. But after this video and what you said about doing other activities for periods of time in between runs has made me realise that me wearing ankle supporting hiking boots everyday over long distances in steep slippery terrain (for my job) has probably not helped my feet, ankles and legs adjust to the zero drop running! Would some barefoot running (on your toes) help strengthen the feet/ankles/legs for zero drop shoes or should I switch back to conventional shoes?

Thank you so much for doing it helps a lot

I have this injury am 17 it all started when I rolled ma ankle 6 months ago in a basketball game after that my ankle healed from the sides but this injury didn’t now I can’t jump as high as I used to idk how much time it need to fully heal this injury makes me feel sad for losing athleticism

BEST TO TAKE A SUPPLEMENT OR SURGERY

I HEARD SO MANY DIFFERENT ADVICE .SOME SAY WALK BAREFOOT THEN USE AIR THEN STRETCH FOOT OFF STEP.IM CONFUSED. JUST DEAL WITH IT. TOO MANY VIDEOS CONTRADICT EACH OTHER

Thank you for this. Can you please tell what kind of surgery you mentioned? What needs to be operated on?

I have completed 6 weeks of Achilles tendon surgery Please suggest safety precautions and how can I walk carefully

heloo from aus, im currently dealing with outer heel pain that ive been trying to fix for 5 years, many podiatrists, dr's, physio's, a spine specialist, soft tissue expert have been seen and nobody has any idea. both heels, on the edge burn after prolonged standing, its getting worse so i cant stand for much longer then half hour to an hour usually, no protaned or supernated feet, running or walking generally doesnt hurt, only standing still, no nerve issues, my pelvis is anteriorally tilted and used to suffer back issues but thats all sorted now as my hip flexors were tight but foot pain is getting worse. standing in a hot shower is something that seems to allow me to stand longer, ive watched endless videos on heel pain and nothing matches up, its not a plantar issue and theres no pain anywhere else, just the corners of my heels and can somewhat radiate toward the arch, but mostly the heel. please please help if you can, ive got no idea what to do from here.

I'm scared because the pain in mine is going from the back of my foot to the heel. 😢. Finally going to see a physical therapist in a couple of weeks.

Love your explanations, they seem very factual and can feel your experience. My Achilles has started to twinge after 7 or 8 weeks of increasing running intensity. Instead of stopping completely I will follow your approach same drop to maybe 30% and pause the high intensity sessions for a short while. Introduce kettlebell sessions, some calf raises and foam rolling.

Thank you ❤

Thk u great video

Recently started walking more than I normally do on consistent basis in barefoot shoes noticed my tendon hurting then it got worse,then I didn’t even want to walk at all. I had an old pair of crocs in the closet so I busted those out started wearing those and walking with them noticed my Achilles felt so much better, now I’m kind of nervous about barefoot shoes.

If I am currently recovering from some achilles tendonitis, and I recently woke up with this tingling a few weeks after my tendonitis started. Is this tingling sensation a sign of the tendonitis getting worse? Makes me nervous to continue strengthening and not to rest it

I have no pain just a popping feeling, i have been walking 8 to 10k steps each day, should I slow day a little bit for a while?

Thank you so much for this very clear explanation-I have had this bursitis but it resolved. However have other chronic heel pain worse with running. Will check out you other videos

Thanks

I have been suffering from the tendonitis problem for the past 4 weeks. I have been injured because i went overboard with my resitance level on the gym bikes. However over the past few weeks the injury has not improved much because i have been walking a lot (due to inevitable circumstances). I am going to the gym and doing upper body training and trying to avoid getting my lower body involved. I wish everyone the best on their journey to recovery.

Thank you this will help me .much appreciated

I do alot of walking and standing at my job carting heavy objects back and forth .the next day theres pain on the back of my heel .swelling also

I had a partial tear and the back of my leg from the heal up to the top of my calf was black and blue with swelling. I am in my 6th week and still cannot walk correctly.

I have stopped running mine was painful and struggling to walk and I had bump on the Achilles now have been rubbing it it'd it becoming better but the pain still there

I needed to hear this. Im starting to feel better, but i need to concentrate on my workout/ rehab program before i start running.

Got achilles tendinitis tear today. I am in cast for 3 weeks , what was prescribed by the doc, Hoping 3 weeks fly by and another 2 weeks of physio. Wow last near receivered from laternal fracture, Now this, God save me
