Mike hadn’t run for 9 months due to his Achilles pain. He was trying to train for his first marathon, but he couldn’t even run around the block.
He’d just been for another visit to the doctor who told him to continue to rest and if it wasn’t better in a month he was going in a boot. At this point, he felt completely hopeless. Like the healthcare system had failed him. He figured he’d just have to quit running for good. He came to me wondering how on earth to heal his Achilles Tendonitis.
I told him that, essentially, tendons hurt when they’re not strong enough to do their job. If you want to make it stop hurting, you have to make it stronger. Healing an Achilles tendon is a lot like raising a child. There are different phases. And with each phase, come new challenges...
