Searching For A Cure For Achilles Tendonitis? The Three Best Methods!

Your everyday shoes
A typical runner spends loads of money on new running shoes. If you are searching for a cure for Achilles tendonitis the first stop is to have a look at your running shoes. A good running shoe provides the correct amount of cushioning and gives support to your foot during each running stride. This is quite commonly known information and you just need to go into a sports shop and all the buying arguments keep coming. This is all good, but what a lot of men and women tend to forget about are their normal shoes that they wear on the job, going for a walk or when traveling. A pair of Converse sneakers does not give any heel protection at all. They are very stiff and provide very little cushioning protection if any at all. A pair of mens shoes such as Johnstone & Murphy loafers is even worse. I remember a couple of weeks ago after I had done an early morning run consisting of an easy run of 12 kilometers without any problem. Later the same day I went for a business trip. At the airport I was late for my flight and I had to run the last 800 meters to the gate on a marble floor in my Johnstone & Murphy loafers. The day after I immediately got problems. Lessons learned is have a look at your everyday life shoes and do some changes. A good advise is to make sure that your shoes provide enough cushion protection for your feet.

Achilles heel pressure on the back of your foot
In the search for a cure of Achilles tendonitis the next step is to have a look at a small thing very often over looked. Every year I spend around 6000 km per year sitting on my bike and I rarely have problems with my Achilles Tendon in connection to cycling. Two years ago I traveled by bike from the most northern point in Sweden (Treriksroset) to the most southern point of the same country to a little village called Smygehuk. The distance is more than 2100 kilometers. We spent eight consecutive days in the saddle averaging almost 300 kilometers per day. After four days I got severe Achilles heel pain in both feet. I kept on biking but I it really heart a lot. After doing some thinking and reading on the topic my analysis that the pressure put on the Achilles tendon by the cycling shoes caused the Achilles Tendonitis. A friend of mine is a heavy runner. He is weight is above 100 kilo and he has had severe problems with both his Achilles tendons. He was not able to do any running at all. He visited several specialists and he finally got the same advice as I recommend. When possible he always wore sandals. They did not put any pressure at all on his Achilles tendons. He was not able to wear sandals at every occasion. At work during business hours he wore a pair of custom made shoes, where the back end of the shoe hade been removed and replaced with a soft textile ribbon. This was the final push he needed in order get a cure for Achilles tendonitis. At the moment he is totally pain free and back on his planned training regimen.

Eccentric Rehab Training
The most important single action I have taken in to find a cure for Achilles tendonitis is Eccentric Rehab Training. That is what regular calf raises performed in the opposite direction is called. The exercises should be done two times per day. Perform fifteen repetitions and repeat it three times each morning and each evening. If it hurts, just keep going. It is a sign that you are progressing in the right direction. The Achilles tendon is the thickest tendon in your body and it will not break, at least not during this exercise.
Good luck with your efforts and remember in your search for a cure for Achilles tendonitis reading will not solve the problem. You have to take action in order to get results, so go ahead! Lets get started.
