Achilles Tendon Flexibility

August 5, 2016 · Filed under Exercise Tips

We strain our achilles tendon when we run, jump, and bounce in sports. And an injury there can be career-ending, as any NFL or NBA fan knows all too well.

So what can we do to keep our tendons flexible and healthy? Before exercising, stand about 3 feet from a wall. reach one leg out behind you, keeping the foot flat on the floor, and placing your hands on the wall for balance. Lean your body forward and gently stretch the foot further back.

You will feel mild tension in your achilles tendon. Doing this for about one minute before playing ball will help ensure that your tendon is limber during play.
