Prevention of Achilles Tendinitis
Stretch your calf muscles at the beginning of each day to improve your agility and make your Achilles tendon less prone to injury. Try to stretch before and after workouts. To stretch your Achilles tendon, stand with a straight leg, and lean forward as you keep your heel on the ground.
Ease into a new exercise routine, gradually intensifying your physical activity.
Combine high- and low-impact exercises, such as basketball with swimming, to reduce constant stress on your tendons.
Choose shoes with proper cushioning and arch support. Also make certain the heel is slightly elevated to take tension off your Achilles tendon. If you’ve worn a pair of shoes for a long time, consider replacing them or using arch supports.
Reduce the heel size of shoes gradually when transitioning from high heels to flats. This allows your tendon to slowly stretch and increase its range of motion.
