Hey buddy, do you have a video of all foam roller exercise/recovery? You know all of those pain gadgets ���� great videos btw.
This literally happens every time I’m done playing basketball
These are good tips! I have also been using a hemp symmetry CBD infused knee compression sleeve that has worked wonders for my knee pain!
I had tendinitis around my knee a year ago and recovered, but right before track season this year, I fractured my leg. I definitely brought it upon myself though. I was running constantly every day for 5 months straight and I took a 2 week break and when I got back to running, I immediately started doing hard workouts and everything just fell apart.
2 weeks of nothing to 5 1k repeats at 3:25 pace.. not the greatest idea
Dirt and grass are good alrternativesunless you’re prone to ankle sprains like me!
These were all good tips. Rather It’s good or bad, ppl will still have something to say.�� #aboveit
If you is interested in cures for plantar foot the greatest info that I have ever had was by using the Natural Foot Wizard (just google it) definately the most incredible resource that I’ve followed.
Do Not live in Montreal Quebec the most unqulfied doctors in Canada and
No America
So I just recently started sprinting and I’m finding recovery to be very tricky. The area around my knees is constantly very weak and unstable and I developed some knee pain in my left knee because of that. I have trouble walking now just because of the weakness and instability in my knees. It’s bad. I’ve also become a lot slower of course. I’m trying to do less and less with my legs but not much seems to be changing. There’s a leg workout I’ve been doing 3 times a week that I’m now going to do only 2 times a week and I’m hoping that’s going to finally allow my legs to recover like they should be. Other than that I’ve never had any major injuries. If I could just recover properly that would change things big time. I’d probably drop 5 seconds off my 100 meter time. I just need that recovery.
Hello, I’m suffering from stress fractures in my both legs for long time and its not healing can you suggest something??
I jog and power walk 3 times a day 1 hour each for a week, and my knees hurt a little.
can someone explain to me how tip 2 is dont add speed or distance abruptly and then tip 3 being try doing intervals like what? thats just adding speed abruptly!??!
Do: Interval training
Don’t: Abruptly change speeds
That’s like saying, “Make toast… but don’t heat the bread.”
Sir Mera ankel fracter ho Gaya tha Kya Mai running Kar sakta hu
Replace your shoes after 250-300 miles.
Eh… IDK.. I am a bit skeptical about this one.
Fish?.. not me, don’t fancy heavy metals and plastic in my meals
Running on ‘soft’ surfaces would increase the stiffness within the limb. This may increase the risk of injury to bony components in the limbs?
#1 is bs but good for selling shoes and there are clues that quite the opposite of #4 is true. Softer surfaces may actually put more stress on muscles and joints than harder surfaces do.
I bet someone patted themselves on this back for this unhelpful video.
I have learned real treatments like the absolute best cure for blisters is soaking your feet in a bucket with a couple of quarts of Castor Oil. Its messy and expensive and requires many paper towels to clean up, but renews your feet.
Soaking your feet in a bucket of ice filled water for as long as you can stand it is a miracle cure for Achilles heel injuries.Don’t be cheap on running shoes. I buy 3 pairs of Brooks Glycerin shoes at a time every 6 months. I have tried many shoes and these are the first I ever bought multiple pairs at a time of.Don’t be cheap on socks. I was hesitant at first to pay $15 for a pair of socks when 3 packs are $9 for a cheaper socks. Now I can’t walk around the house with the cheap ones you get so spoiled.I am 50 and have run 618 days in a row, and now I run 50 75 miles per week with a minimum of 7 miles per day. I have never run a full marathon because they cost so much. I was thinking of running one this year but I would rather just go run and save $150+ dollars. This video seems like it was written by someone hoping to inspire others to reach moderate levels of success.
As is almost universal the advice doesn’t tell you why this happens. My experience has been shoes that have too much heel drop (padded heel) and chronic overstriding. The exercises won’t prevent these, and in fact they waste your time and focus. It seems to me that all these exercises might be good for recovery after an injury will help /cause/ injury if you don’t know the actual cause.
Whenever I stretch my Achilles’ tendon, it hurts really bad same thing with walking, I can’t even walk
I’m wondering if heel cups will get me back running sooner. Anyone? Great video!
as soon as i left my house for running, i had the sharpest most painful shock on the tendon and it killed my feet. after 10 minutes it was getting less painful but now i live with this pain ;(
I ruptured my Achilles in October 2019. My Achilles is 10x thicker than the other side I’m not exaggerating on this. Just want to be back playing football. In the match I ruptured it, it was sore before the game and I played through it on pain killers. I wish I listened to my body.
I am living with this issue right now and it is horrid. Thank you for the advice �� i can add some strengthening exercises to my foam rolling now ��
Aloha, this vid was extremely helpful. I do a lot of running and i felt a pop in my calf and massaged it out and took off a couple days of running. Then started having achilles pain in my left one. Was looking for a good stretch and strength program. goin g to try this so i can be ready for the Honolulu marathon in December 2020. I will check in to let you know how it goes. in the mean time i’m icing after runs and warming up on the spin bike. Thanks again for this wonderful video.
Good presentation but wow did you take a long time to get anywhere helpful
Only problem with this video is that if you are watching it you are already injured
Great, well grounded advice and really well presented! Thanks.
Just to clarify is it OK to do short walks when starting these exercises.
Any clue what to do to prevent it? Any exercises recommended? Thanks (:
I used to run on road for years and developed Achilles. It took me almost 4 months to recover using muscle relaxers. Now i run on a mud track
Great advice. I have a pain right in the middle of my right butt cheek. I’m guessing this is the IT Band, so will work on it with the foam roller.
I have had Achilles tendonitis in both legs for the last 12years. It doesn’t stop me from running, ever, but it is stiff and painful to touch nearly all the time. I wouldn’t call it an “injury”, it just seems to be the inevitable consequence of running. I am now 47 and have resigned myself to the fact that it will never go away.
What about TENS -treatment? I use it on my upper back to relieve pain and take away tension. I would imagine TENS would help with my tendonitis also. Good video, thank you.
I have this in both ankles and possible os trigonun syndrome. Do you think a tall foot brace worn for a few weeks would help?
Ahhh why didn’t I have this video a year ago! The second half of last year was a pretty sore experience.. Mine was caused by a big increase in running (and speed), way too quickly in training for a marathon (which I still did). Mine was fairly obvious a bump on my tendon that was painful to the touch!
Don’t ever lace your shoes too tied….. And wear highly cushioned shoes too observe strikes….. Don’t those tied trousers or shorts…. They literally blocked the blood flow….
Thank you for going over how we made have hurt our Achilles tendon. I have been sitting a lot at the computer doing photo editing and I probably should have stretched before I started walking. I’ll remember to do it in the morning too. Mine hurts in my heel, is that Achailles?
Keep tht BMI in the normal range as low as ppssible as a runner. If youre overweight keep to non weight bearing exercises first like biking
Wtf I just got it and this video pops up… Damn, YouTube you scary
Very chronic injury and it gets worst and worst if you try to push your limits more. It needs full attention and therapy.and no rush for sprint runnings and jumping without full recovery. I learned my self in a hard way. Good luck to everyone and don’t delay to see your Dr if you have any sings of this injury.
It’s not that rare, it takes usually 4 months for any pain to disappear, and try to avoid sprinting barefoot. Ultrasound therapy is useful in soldering the pain with internal heating. You can also buy Electromagnetic wrap that heats them deep tissues and speeds up healing and removing the scar tissue, the scar tissue is key as it aligns awkwardly in the tendon reducing the elastic strength. Once you have had any issues in the tendon it may not potentially be as strong as before so make your peace with that.
Started off running 5k right away as a beginner. Now, I have this Achilles pain. I was so bummed because half way through my run after improving my pace over the last few weeks, and not getting tired as quickly I got this pain and can’t keep going. ��
I am an Ultrarunner and I am basically dealing with my Achilles for one and a half years now. Granted, most of that time I kept running, since breaks didn‘t help and you hear so many opinions from many people. Right now I am out of running for 9 months.
Thanks for the awesome video. The questions that remain are the following:
The seated exercises are supposed to be done with heavy weights and on a platform. Does that mean that I have to go below/above 90 degrees, meaning that I go below my toes downward? And before that, do I lift the heavy weight upwards with the injured leg as well?
The standing eccentric exercise has to be done differently as I understand. No more than 90 degrees downwards, but here as well: Do I push upwards with the injured leg?
I hope I could describe my questionmarks to everyone’s understanding. I hope you can answer me shortly.
I solved my IT Band injury, located outside the right knee by strengthening my piriformis muscle and using a roller in the same area. The muscles are over foot apart, amazing how much the butt effects the knee.
Im simple unable to recover from it. It’s been 5 months now:(
STOP Stretching On the first couple of days of onset. When the pain is increasing specially when you stretch your toes upwards and the pain becomes intolerable.
Ice 3-4 X a day with 600 mg of ibuprofen.
I’m having non insertional pain, but it pains only when I stand up from inactivity or starting the run. Anyone with a advice on it??
when all you guys talk about Achilles tendon etc you only talk about back of foot heel with me the pain is on side of my heel towards the back coming of the tendon i cant afford a sport doctor and normal gp tend to say its over use your old stop running etc so if pain is in back of heel but more on the side is it still Achilles tendentious
Thank you so much! This was the most helpful video iv watched so far. I was diagnosed with Achilles Tendinitis in February and it was the most painful injury ive ever had; so much so that I couldn’t drive for two days. I am still not back to my old self, the recovery process is very slow, and I just now recently was able to run 3 miles. Ive been doing stretches and massages to help relax my surrounding muscles. Its nice to know that im not the only one and that it does take a while to recover thank you for the helpful reassurance.
i actually enjoy the pain of leg/calf cramps and achilles tendonitis. i’m a freak masochist
I’m doing couch to 5k right now so it’s running walking running walking when I’m close to the end of my run I get the pain and while walking but the pain goes when I’ve sat down for a few minutes ����
I’m 22 and I think I might have it. I have a grinding feeling when bending my Achilles. No pain really, just discomfort at some points. I did randomly start running 2 miles a day and riding my bike, so maybe that’s why? I also was running very hard in converse.
I recently recovered from Achilles tendonitis. I had worked my way up from walking 2 miles/day to running 5 miles/day, 5 days/week over the course of a year, and had been running for several months, but had recently been pushing my pace. My major risk factor was being 45. Didn’t hurt a bit when running, but over the course of a week, walking and going down steps got worse and worse pain. I spent 3 months in a boot except during physical therapy with no cardio permitted. My doc recommended a low impact regimen like cycling, so I’ve switched to that. He also said that people with big, muscular calves are more likely to suffer this than long, skinny calves.
I hurt my right achilles in 2016. It took three months of hiking, cycling, & swimming to rehab it back to running.
The way she is answering is so weird and cute and impressive and intresting at same time.
Great video, thanks for the information. I find that my Achilles have benefited a lot from increasing my stretching. I mainly focus on my hamstrings and calf’s, which I find tighten up a lot during the week as I sit at a desk most of the day. Not a yoga expert but the Dogward facing dog works really well. I used to have a lot of Achilles issues to the point I could walk properly in the morning after getting out of bed because they were so painful. But now find as soon as I feel them tightening up, by simply increasing my stretching the pain will completely disappear.
that did it… after she mentioned that gunshot sound… now i’m even scared to walk fast.:(
It’s “tendinitis”. Or better yet, “tendinopathy”, as you write in the description, as tendinitis implies inflammation, which is not necessarily the case.
important video with a lack of explanation. Started running 3 months ago with a lot of pain in the soleus, my big problem is that I have very big calfs (here is call the tortoise), 3 weeks ago started with a sport physiologist with great results. the exercises show in the video are very helpful but theyre very bad explained, not visual not video. also its very important to show that the strenthgthening is crucial with other exercises.
sir…litle injury in my ankle 1month ago…still litle pain while streaching that area and litle swelling in that area after running….sir please guide me becouse my physical exam fir compitatitve exam on 1st week of feb2018…
800m in 2:30…..
sir please..give me suggestion what to do…
This video is a few weeks too late �� just developed Achilles tendinitis and currently treating it. Lots of eccentrics, stretching and massaging is helping out. Ohh and icing in the beginning phase. Now I’m doing epsom salt and warm water.
I suffer from achilles pain, I usually run in adidas shoes 10mm drop but if I change to Hoka or On for example with 5 or 6mm drop I suffer with achilles problems?
This video is great ‘broad’ advice. Best advice on calf raise weight is as heavy as you can as early as you can! The Achilles takes up to 12 times body weight during exercise, don’t be afraid to strengthen it!
I was unable to run for the first 6 months of 2019 because of an Achilles tear. An ultrasound scan confirmed a 3cm longitudinal tear. Eccentric calf raises made very little difference in my case I practically wore out staircase out and drove my wife nuts. Eventually a friend who used to be an elite runner suggested I try shockwave therapy. I had 5 sessions of Storz shockwave therapy approximately 2 weeks apart at the Fay Pedler Clinic in Plymouth (total cost for 5 sessions £250). Basically it cured me I also wear 4mm heel wedges in my work shoes and trainers and this has kept it at bay. (* I am a doctor but have no financial interest in Storz or the clinic). If you’re struggling it may be worth giving it a try.
I feel personally attacked by this video… male, over 40, with pain in the heel at the tendon insertion point. Thanks for the video though:)
