WALKING WITH ACHILLES TENDONITIS

DO’S AND DON’TS

UNDERSTANDING ACHILLES TENDONITIS

Achilles tendonitis causes pain and stiffness. Know the symptoms and causes to prevent worsening.

BENEFITS OF WALKING

Gentle walking boosts blood flow, aids healing, keeps joints moving, and improves mood.

RISKS TO AVOID

Avoid sudden long walks, hard surfaces, and wrong shoes. Stop if pain or swelling appears.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

WALKING TECHNIQUES

Use midfoot or forefoot strike. Shorten strides, walk slowly, and adjust pace to reduce stress.

SUPPORTIVE SHOES

Choose cushioned shoes with arch support and rocker sole. Heel lifts or orthotics help too.

BEST SURFACES

Walk on grass, dirt paths, or rubber tracks. Avoid concrete, asphalt, stairs, or uneven slopes.

STRETCH AND WARM-UP

Warm-up with calf raises and ankle rotations. Stretch after walking with towel or flexor stretches.

GRADUAL RECOVERY PLAN

Start with short walks, increase slowly, balance rest, and monitor pain. Seek medical help if severe.
