Tendonitis

Hello! I appear to have pulled a tendon in my heel over the festive break (possibly from running). The worst of it has subsided but I did notice it was twinging a bit today when I went for a walk. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for any other activities I could take up until it’s fully healed?

    Swimming.
    Strength training.
    Maybe bicycling or an exercise bike.

    I suggest yoga. It's going to make your body more flexible so you don't pull the tendon again.

    Was it your Achille's tendon (behind your ankle, attaches to your heel) or along the sole of the foot with pain mostly at the heel (the plantar fascia)? It would definitely be beneficial for you to perform exercises specifically to target the injury itself to speed up your recovery and build strength to prevent re-injury.
