Jump Up and Go – But Start Out Slow
Winter's over, and you're raring to resume your warm- weather pastimes. But
if you’re planning to go out, and go all-out with exercise, exercise some
moderation – at least, at first – as some restraint can prevent some strains.
For example, the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel, can
be injured by sudden, intense physical activities, or increases in running
speeds or distances.
If
you have pain, stiffness, or swelling at the back of the heel, come see us. If it is Achilles tendinitis, it’s important that we treat
it before it tears or ruptures. And remember, you may be ready to jump up and
go, but play it safe, and take it slow!
