Can You Still Exercise With An Injured Achilles Tendon

Where is my Achilles tendon? Your Achilles tendon is a long tendon that connects calf muscles to your heel bone and is the longest and most commonly injured tendon in the human body.

What can cause an injured Achilles tendon? Overuse, increasing activity too quickly, not warming up the muscle before activity, wearing high heels, tight calf muscles, & having flat feet.

What exercises can I  do? Stretch thoroughly the lower leg muscles, it is a good idea to strengthen your glutes and core to improve posture. To keep up your game but keep off your feet try swimming or cycling. If you decide to continue a light jog or brisk walk soak your foot in warm water before exercising and ice it after exercising.
