What causes Achilles tendon problems?
Achilles tendinopathy is most often caused by overuse or repeated movements during sports, work, or other activities. In sports, repeated push-offs or stop-and-go motion or a change in how long, intensely, or often you exercise can cause microtears in the tendon that are unable to heal quickly or completely. Poor conditioning or warm-up and shoes with poor arch support or rigid heels may also result in Achilles tendinopathy.
