Tiger Woods and Ryan Howard - Achilles Injury Updates

With Tiger Woods pulling out of the Cadillac Championship at Doral, the achilles tendon has again come to the forefront. It appears to be his left leg and achilles again as he withdrew on the 12th hole clutching his foot and calf, this according to Robert Lusetich at Fox Sports http://msn.foxsports.com/golf/story/Tiger-Woods-Achilles-tendon-injury-at-Cadillac-Championship-at-Doral-might-be-Achilles-heel-031112 . This kind of lingering injury needs rest, stretching, and extensive physical therapy.

Ryan Howard is another super athlete suffering from the effects of an achilles injury. According to Matt Gelb of the Philly.com http://articles.philly.com/2012-03-10/sports/31143270_1_sam-perlozzo-ruben-amaro-chase-utley , there is no news on his infection at his achilles surgical site. He is still in a walking boot and as each day passes, he falls farther behind in his rehab.




For all of us weekend warriors, special care must be taken to properly stretch the achilles tendon before and after working out. http://www.podiatrycarespecialists.com/videos.html

Ryan Howard Achilles Problem

Philadelphia fans will be nervous today as Ryan Howard has to get his Achilles Tendon checked out. He was having some drainage coming from the Achilles incision site area. This can be a common thing with this type pf procedure since the skin is thin in this area. Hopefully this will not compromise his return to activity. Its already amazing that he was on tract to come back  in May. We will still keep you posted on his progress.
