Talk Tennis - View Single Post - Little tip for anyone with achilles tendonitis

No, she mentioned that as well but its not an issue in her view because its temporary and its only during movement that puts more strain on your tendon than normal anyway - a huge part of tennis is played on the balls of your feet and even with a split step you never really land on your heels - which is why Achilles tendonitis can be common.

The rest of the time you're walking normally in shoes and if you really want to be keen doing eccentric strengthening exercises of the tendon off a step etc
