I’m not overly concerned yet, but I pushed a troubling pain too far yesterday. My Achilles has been on the edge lately and I tried to run through the pain. Bad idea.
I’ve been sifting through YouTube like a rock group looking for a cover-band-replacement-singer and landed on this video from the Sock Doc that gave me some relief.
I really dig his main philosophy, which is: Diagnose WHY you have a problem not WHAT the problem is.
In the case of Achilles Tendinitis (which some say isn’t technically tendinitis) he says you focus on trigger points in the calf. The actual tender spot should not be messed with, and this is exactly how I feel about most health related issues.
Like most YouTube videos it’s a little long winded, but he has some really good stuff, including how lifestyle, diet and stress impact the health of your feet.
If any of you have other great solutions, please let me know. Thanks.
