d, w ah, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list with magic corner tread hotspot with some great cultural memorials to boot w. travel off we go. walking is the bread or breaking form of movement. if we take an average of $7500.00 steps per day, the recommended amount for the stride length of about 0.8 meters, then we end up walking 6 kilometers every day. at the end of an 80 year, life will have walked around 175000 kilometers vance. if everything runs smoothly which it often doesn't, aches and pains are common, such as in the knee joints or the achilles tendon. the human body is vulnerable.

even just walking. so what can be done about it that's coming up on in good shape d w health. so with walking is the result of evolution. the fact that we walk upright is thanks to an anatomical detail. this study shows how the human foot can be stead, allowing us to efficiently push off when we walk or run. this was a crucial stage in the evolution of bypass. ah, and this is what allows us for to be rigid, the arched shape of the mid foot. other primates have completely flat feet from head to toe. our body is moved thanks to new as bones, muscles,

and joints plus tendons. and those of what we're going to have a closer look at noun. oh, in the mythological trojan war, the greek army was led by the warrior acc. yes, he was supposedly impervious to enemy weapons and attacks. achilles mother, the goddess thetis, was said to have dipped him in the river styx as an infant which bestowed on him the invulnerability of the gods. only is heal remains dry. achilles was struck by a poison arrow on exactly that spot, killing the demi god on the battlefield. it's no coincidence that in mythology, the heel was achilles. weak point. it's the location of the bodies thickest and strongest tendon, and is still referred to as the achilles tendon. it transmits power from the calf muscles to the heel bone and with stands a tremendous burning each day. whether we're walking, running or jumping,

the achilles tendon helps propel the body forward. it functions a bit like a coil spring, storing, and then releasing energy. when we bend our foot, the tendon is stretched and then retracts for the next step. with targeting training, we can increase it to last a city, which in turn increases our ability to jump everywhere in our body where joints are moved by muscles. tendons play a role even when we grasp with our fingers or to some food. the structure of our tendons is what makes them so stable and flexible, college ins and a last and make up fibers and bundles of those make up fibers. some of our tendons are protected by tendon, she's, but the achilles tendon only has a layer of skin as protection where tendency joints. there are small fluid

filled sax called bursey, to reduce friction and inflammation. but just like achilles heel tendons can become a weak point if they get injured. unlike other tissues, tendons have a low blood supply. that means they need more time to heal. o soccer fans may remember this moment from the european championship. italy's leonardo spin at sola ruptured his achilles tendon, he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher. the tournament was over for him. but you don't have to be a professional athlete to develop problems with your achilles tendon. popping about running or walking, or achilles tendons do serious hard labor partly surprising they sometimes season

say these 3 experts the heat is in the achilles tendon can become very painful, especially when we demand too much of it or in combination with other risk factors like weight age and mal position of the foot, whose future in the when, when does for in the end, it can really alter the structure of the tension. and then the real problems begin . mon smith's on hand really painful, and patients everyday lives become highly constrained shirt. something amin hadn't found out. he's apple attic, but during an exercise on the leg press something went wrong. his achilles tendon was soon swollen and hurt when he was walking. shabazz the tendon was so swollen, it felt like i was carrying an extra burden. sto hint that he's not the 1st to experienced that but where does the pain come from in it's healthy state.

the achilles tendon consists of college and fibers running in parallel, which are both 10 south and elastic at the same time. but if they become strained, it can lead to small tears in the tendon. the body response with a provisional repair with new fibers growing haphazardly, new blood vessels sprout to improve tendon nourishment. but these new blood vessels, deformed the and. ready become swollen and sensitive. mm hm. it loses its flexibility and becomes even more prone to new tears. because the achilles tendon metabolism is so slow, it can take months before the tissue has regenerated and returns to normal. there should balance order for the pain should be seen as a warning sign. it's a sign of the alterations and the achilles tendon that something there is changing that was in shot, an entity. and when there's damage, it's madness to keep you rotating it off because that only worse is the damage and

causes more pain that mel amin had. and it wasn't aware that he should listen to his tendon. he carried on training for an important run. and suddenly it seized up, his orthopedist immediately stopped him from any running and perscribed physiotherapy to support the healing process is physiotherapist began with a special treatment called a cross friction massage. pushed in, putting the excess input into the tissue, hinders the pain signals, which means you lowered the pink sensitivity somewhat don't offer incremental load increases shouldn't be attempted before the stage though, it is important that the angle moves pure rest is no help at all. michelle wagner shows his patients certain stretching and strengthening exercises to do at home. this type of training supports the healing process for home,

thus is immune 50 to us. it's very important to do this twice a day. but because these exercises stabilize and above all structurally attended hope, doyle was your therapy can only help amin hadn't. if he repeats the exercises regularly at home for months, he needs to be patient for over half a year before he'll be able to run again. in some cases, the of the problem is excess strain. for others, the problems start with bad posture. as with your honest mula, in injury to his right length led him to put in excess weight on his left leg for weeks on end. after 2 months, his left foot suddenly began to hunt. when he got home and i was limping and by i could only put stress on the balls of my feet, so i couldn't walk properly. honda orthopedist kind would help sees immediately that the steady access burden on the left. what was too much for the achilles

tendon. he checks the attendance tissues using ultrasound and he can see structural changes in the tendon along with counts of occasion. the f one, all we also want to differentiate shaddon is that a small tear and china this visit perhaps, and inflammation for is actually a degeneration with calcifications or mechanical. we can highlight that with the ultrasound and base our choice of treatment on the results itself. and never dare bohannon's matured. but since cross friction and stretching alone haven't done much for your hundreds. mueller, he and his orthopedist take another approach and try to promote the healing process . shockwave therapy. the shock waves are posted at varying intensity deep into the tissue. it can boost attendance metabolism while breaking up badly patched tissue. with that, as your mando,

she shows the shock waves dissolve. adhesions promote tissue healing and also destroy calcium clusters on the school. on cake. on salmone, it's the treatment that has generally produced good results so far. not the espn bottleneck, mahogany for after the 1st session. if you don't notice anything before after the 2nd, i felt it was less pain. i noticed something was changes. after the 4th session. i was already pain free 5. it was already able to move my foot and tension the way i used to use those from for a wound fall, no kind old half dozen. just check a patient's achilles tendons. he looks at the whole body because if anything is out of kilter, it constrained the tendency is johan as miller's feet lean slightly inwards to compensate for that. he's prescribed orthopedic insults, which ease the pool on his attendance, combined with daily stretching exercises that should see him recover. well,

the achilles as our strongest tendon, but it's very sensitive and doesn't always get better by itself. from the strongest tendon to the largest joint in our body. the ne, it's also the most complex joint informations that the knee cap bursa, capsule or pencil attendant can be extremely painful. a cruciate ligament tear with their anterior o post area omen. this cause damage is often caused by too much strain. for example, during sports, nicholas hers was playing soccer for his camp in 2015 when disaster struck nobody else. so just as i got the ball passed, my opponent, i put all my power into my left me to follow through behind it and my knee broke away due to the side jack knife backwards for every one on the sidelines, including my father, heard it all. i knew that something awful,

nicholas underwent surgery on his knee of arms on bison bung. i was certainly quite worried and like, i don't know if the operation would go off. okay, without complication. and so on the last one of the illness, the heck to that i am, the surgeon tackled his meniscus. hast the team used a camera to evaluate the extent and location of the problem? then attended was transplanted to replace nicholas's ruptured ligament the coachman. we've been successfully operating on cruciate ligament since the eighty's. it was usually opened knee surgery. definitely more difficult for us could be we have today makes everything more efficient, the safer and when you look at professional soccer players faster, they're often playing again within months ago, which is not exactly medically advisable for and for the doctors used are thruster,
