6Causes of Achilles Tendinitis
Excessive Exercises
Achilles tendinitis typically results from excessive exercises, which put excessive stress and pressure on the tendon. When you push the body to work out too soon or too much, it would increase the risk. Common triggers include:
– A sudden increase in your physical activities without gradual adjustments
– Playing sports that involve quick changes of direction or stops, such as tennis, badminton, football
– Straining your calf muscles due to physical activities or repetitive exercises
– Working out without proper warmups
To reduce risk, it is important to have a proper workout plan. If necessary, you can seek advice from an experienced personal trainer or physical therapist.[6]
