Achilles Tendonitis is often treated very poorly, with limited results. That is because the practitioner often takes the perspective of only treating where it hurts without evaluating the rest of the body.

  • @GTkennethxD I have achilles tendonitis right now from basketball too. How are you now? What do you suggest I do?

  • It was useful to watch this video, it also gave me peace of mind as I can see Tendonitis is affecting my right heel.

  • @GTkennethxD than ur doc is an idiot Do not take ibuprofen ! just ice it

  • stop heal striking when you run or run in minimalist shoes

  • i have got this right now, i play an lot of soccer and hill running for fitness, i hope with restness and physio i can overcome it, because if i cant play soccer, i will be absaloutly devostated :(

  • really good video!

  • Scar tissue only accurs because you're body doesn't get the right information, mostly due to medecin and also ice and immobilization. If you have an acute tendinitis you should never take medecin (If absolutely necessary take paracetamol, this doesn't interfere with the inflammation proces). Let the inflammation do it's work, it is a natural reaction of the body to get rid of the damaged tissue. Don't ice because you will slow down the inflammation. Stress the tissue based on the level of pain.

  • i have the same thing as GTkennethxD. Doc told me the same thing and i got it from basketball. It pops in my heel. and hurts really bad anyway to tape it or reduce pain, besides ice and ibprofin??

  • Best to get straight onto these injurys.. I first got achilles tendonitis 3 years ago, saw my GP who just told me to ice it and take ibuprofen.. Just kept getting worse, I have a giant lump at the back of my tendon now, last week was on crutches cause so painful couldnt walk. I just had a PRP injection yesterday. I will ask my doctor about massage therapy next week
