Can Achilles tendon injury be avoided?<\/h2>\n

Achilles tendon injuries are very difficult to treat due to their unique physiological structure and their ability to undergo huge changes in load and stresses.\u00a0 The rehabilitation of the tendon can be time-consuming, particularly if left untreated for some time.\u00a0 This will also be dependent on how the injury occurred, the age of the person, prior damage to the tendon, hormonal factors and the biomechanics associated with the individual.\u00a0 A management plan that is adaptable to the temperamental nature of the Achilles tendon is needed to address these many different aspects.<\/p>\n

In an effort to avoid developing an Achilles tendon injury in the first place, you would think there might be some preventative measures that could be taken.\u00a0 Footwear, stretching and exercises, massage are all forms used by runners in an effort to stay injury free.\u00a0 The question would be is there any evidence to truly support any one of these areas?\"Small_Achilles\"<\/p>\n

In March, this year, a paper was published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in sport reviewing research on the preventative measures taken for tendon injuries.\u00a0 This paper divided its findings into three categories:\u00a0 stretch and exercise intervention, shoe adaptations, and other interventions.\u00a0 There was no evidence for… click here<\/a> to read the full article in ‘From the Sole’ June clinic newsletter.<\/p>\n
