Comments
The Achilles tendon is a cord-like structure that connects the heel to the calf muscles. It can easily strain, get inflamed or even completely rupture. Therefore, keeping it strong will help with foot, ankle and Achilles-related pains.
Want to make it strong? Consider the exercise as follows:
Face a wall and raise the arms, so that the palms rest flat against the wall.
Place one foot back, keeping the knee straight. Then bend the knee of the opposite leg.
Keep both heels flat on the floor.
Push the hips forward, until the Achilles tendon and calf muscles can be felt stretching.
Hold for 30 seconds before switching sides. Repeat three times on each side.
For a slightly different stretch, bend the back knee and push the hips forward.
Let us know what you feel about these exercises.
