MIT Education Achilles Tendinosis Achilles tendinosis represents the most common foot and ankle problem in runners over the age of 35. Affected individuals will have pain associated with running and sometimes walking. Stairs and climbing hills will frequently make symptoms worse. Calf Stretching Lack of motion in your joints results in unneeded stress to your joints and muscle and tendons supporting those joints. What causes that lack of motion. Poor flexibility. Sure you can continue to push through, but maybe, just maybe a little bit of maintenance could help! NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME... Get in the miles without the pounding. Try out the AlterG Treadmill at Fit For Life PT at FrontRunner on Lane Avenue.
Worx FIT Focus How that posterior chain these days?? You know, the back side of your body that you rely on during those long miles!! Let's show it some love. Try an inchworm 🐛 to work through all the tight spots from your neck to your toes! These are great for early mornings, before your runs, or when you feel generally tight! Other workout options
