How stress can help your Achilles tendon recover faster and get stronger

When you get any stage of Achilles injury and you're a runner, you're trying to figure out what you can do to get it to heal as quickly as possible.  The biggest concern with runners when they have an Achilles tendon injury is that the tendon is going to continue to degenerate, turn into Achilles tendinosis, and then potentially even rupture. But the good news is that stress, when actually applied in the right way, can help your Achilles tendon recover faster, become stronger, so you can get back to running, possibly even with less risk of re-injury. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about how stress can actually help your Achilles tendon recover faster.
