Achilles tendonitis treatment exercises don't matter if you are running in the wrong shoes. Dr. Duane Scotti shares 4 key features to look for when shopping for the right running shoe to run pain free!

 

In this episode you will learn…

 

- What heel drop is best for achilles pain

Whether you have the classic midportion achilles tendinopathy or insertional achilles tendonitis…

 

Whether you are an experienced marathon runner or a beginner runner and are feeling pain and stiffness along the achilles tendon in the morning that worsens with running hills or going down stairs and you have tried icing, resting (stop running) and taking some anti inflammatory medication and you are frustrated that your pain keeps coming back whenever you try to run faster or build back those long runs again this episode is for you!

 

The best part is that if you find that right shoe that has all of the 4 features I am going to share with you, you won’t have to stop running and take 4 weeks off to “rehab” your achilles. You can actually stay running and heal from this injury!
