Exercises for inflammation of the Achilles tendon

Achilles tendon The most powerful in the human body. It connects the heel with the calf muscle and experiences a very large load when moving. For example, when jumping - up to a ton.

Achilles tendon inflammation It is most often found in athletes. And my technique, fortunately, allows you to quickly cope with this ailment. However, during treatment, it is necessary to refrain from physical exertion on the legs, especially from jumping and running.







Treatment includes exercise on the type of "humping-bolt" (that is, load without load) and external study of the location of the tendon.

Exercises are performed in a sitting position on a chair or couch.

1. If the form of inflammation is severe and you experience severe pain, Put your feet on the floor half a step in front of you and alternately slap your socks on the floor, that is, raise them somewhere 1 centimeter from the floor and lower freely.

Between spanks, take a short break, about 2-3 seconds.

The main conditions of this exercise: rest between spanking and softness of movements (in no case should you knock your feet on the floor).

When the pain subsides, you can add a second exercise: move the feet to yourself so that the knees are at right angles, and start slapping on the floor with the heels, also alternately, gently and with a break in the same 2-3 seconds between slaps.

Do these exercises for hours, and if you follow the rules of their implementation, then neither pain nor fatigue from movements will not experience.



2. For external tendon treatment, 2 times a week, you will need an assistant.

The patient needs to lie on the couch on his stomach and put the sore leg (climbing down) on the thigh of the assistant sitting on the couch.

The massage therapist embraces the area above the heel with one hand and, moving this hand upwards to the calf muscle, with his fist shakes the affected area through the tightly pressed arm. Strikes are strong enough, but not painful.

Repeat that a few times.

This massage should be carried out for 2-3 minutes.





Thanks to this method, recovery is sure to come, but you need to be patient, perhaps for several months. After all, tendons recover very slowly, since they have a dense tissue consisting of cells with thick walls and without capillaries.

Therefore, the metabolism (which contributes to recovery) in them is too slow and occurs superficially, and not through blood circulation (by the way, the incredible density and strength of tendons is evidenced by the fact that until recently, a bowstring was made from animal tendons). published
