Are you a marathon runner with heel pain?
You might feel pain over your achilles tendon in the morning, or you may possibly see a slight thickening of the achilles tendon.
With summer in full swing and temperature rising, now is the best time to run and prepare for your next challange.
Pain and thickening of the achilles tendon usually indicates that, you might be suffering from Achilles Tendinopathy, a very common injury in runners.
We’ve helped many marathon runners in Southampton and Whiteley throughout the years with this exact problem.
The Science
Achilles Tendinopathy is the technical name used to describe pain in the achilles tendon that is usually worse first thing in the morning.
The injury is usually caused by a sudden increase in intensity or frequency in running, however other risk factors include high blood pressure and family history of tendinopathy
If you suffer from Achilles tendinopathy you are likely to suffer with pain over the achilles tendon not only when running, but also when going up and down the stairs or even, when you take you furry best friend for a walk.
