#tendinits

Did you know that one of the longer tendons in your body stretching from the bones of your heel to your calf muscles is called the Achilles tendon?

Because it is the longest tendon in our body, it is used almost all the time, when you walk, run, jump, or push up on your toes. 

If you just started exercising it is very important to begin with caution and be careful not to over do it or increase intensity too quickly, because if you do you can be at risk of getting Achilles tendinitis.

According to an article posted at the Mayo Clinic, Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the tendon  that in most cases could be treated relatively simple, however, visit your doctor if your pain increases, because it can lead to tendon tears.
