?What are some common causes of Achilles tendon pain

Common causes of Achilles tendon pain include overuse or repetitive strain from activities such as running, jumping, or sudden increases in physical activity, wearing improper footwear that lacks adequate support or cushioning, tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, and poor biomechanics such as excessive pronation or supination of the foot. Additionally, factors such as age, previous injuries, and underlying conditions like Achilles tendonitis or tendinopathy can contribute to Achilles tendon pain.

?How can stretching and strengthening exercises help alleviate Achilles tendon pain

Stretching and strengthening exercises are essential components of a rehabilitation program for Achilles tendon pain. Stretching exercises targeting the calf muscles and Achilles tendon, such as calf stretches and heel drops, can help improve flexibility and reduce tension in the muscles and tendon. Strengthening exercises focusing on the calf muscles, Achilles tendon, and surrounding muscles, such as calf raises, eccentric heel drops, and toe curls, can help improve muscle strength and tendon integrity, providing better support and reducing strain on the Achilles tendon. Additionally, incorporating exercises to improve balance, proprioception, and overall lower limb strength can help prevent future Achilles tendon injuries.
