Frequently asked questions

Can I run with Achilles tendinitis?
You should reduce or stop running initially. As symptoms improve with eccentric exercises, you can gradually return. Running through pain can lead to tendon rupture.
Is stretching good for Achilles tendinitis?
Gentle stretching can help, but eccentric strengthening (heel drops) is more effective. Aggressive stretching may actually worsen symptoms.
