I run ultras and train high mileage. I ran 16 miles yesterday but couldn't run today because of it. Would it be beneficial to split the runs? Really hoping i dont have to stop training.
It might help to split the runs - if you want to be able to maintain some fitness while helping your tendon to recover, you have to figure out what distance + frequency it can currently tolerate. If you continue to push it to the point where you have significant increase in symptoms the next day, it usually just progresses to a point where you have to take a prolonged break. If you wanted help with figuring this out and with getting back to your normal running, this is something that our team of physios can help you with via video call. My colleagues Steph and Kevin are the most experienced in helping endurance athletes maintain fitness while recovering.

I have Hagland Deformity with insertional tendinitis and bursitis. Receiving shockwave therapy plus mild excercise...is this the same as using massage gun?
Thanks v much really useful. My Achilles niggle / injury flares up every now again - usually due to lack of sleep / stress and any drop off in strength training. I have a theragun mini and have often wondered how best to use it. Thanks Mareka
I have the same issue, It went away for a few months before coming back. I feel like drop off in strength training might have caused this, is there anything else specific you do to reduce the sensitivity or pain?
Yes, I would stay away from any hard pressure over the area of the Achilles that is injured as that often just makes the pain worse several hours after the treatment.

Doesnt massage promote blood flow which will help the healing process?
Blood flow doesn't have much of an impact in tendon healing. Here's our video on it: th-cam.com/video/lh0IBZmq7kk/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful, thanks you
Glad it was helpful!
I use it on my throat to warm my vocals and release my scalene. Also do my face/forehead (sinus) and behind my ear. Given me some food for thought.
Very useful. Thank you.
You are welcome!

Would vibration be better than percussion for insertional achilles tendonitis.
I would not use it on insertional Achilles tendonitis - it is very likely to irritate it regardless of the setting.
@@TreatMyAchilles okay, thank you.
I have Hagland Deformity with insertional tendinitis and bursitis. Receiving shockwave therapy plus mild excercise...is this the same as using massage gun?
No, shockwave is something totally different - here's a video about it: th-cam.com/video/GGZvRdxEXp8/w-d-xo.html
Im watching because i got a pain on my Achilles because of playing basketball.

Thank for this content! Does the same guidance apply when using a scraping tool?
Yes, I would stay away from any hard pressure over the area of the Achilles that is injured as that often just makes the pain worse several hours after the treatment.
Compression calf sleeves ok?
