00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:04.750
The Achilles tendon

2
00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:05.750
is one of the

3
00:00:05.750 --> 00:00:06.500
largest tendons

4
00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:07.250
in your body.

5
00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:08.000
It connects

6
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.500
the the muscles

7
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:09.250
in the calf,

8
00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:10.000
the gastrocnemius

9
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.250
and soleus muscles

10
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:12.250
up in the lower leg

11
00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:12.750
down to the

12
00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:13.500
heel bone

13
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:14.250
and those

14
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:14.750
two muscles

15
00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:15.250
form one

16
00:00:15.250 --> 00:00:16.000
common tendon.

17
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:16.750
This tendon

18
00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:18.000
has somewhat

19
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:18.500
of a limited

20
00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:19.000
blood supply

21
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:19.750
in this area and

22
00:00:19.750 --> 00:00:20.750
so, that is one

23
00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:21.500
of the reasons why

24
00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:23.000
it does rupture or tear.

25
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:24.000
It's also the reason

26
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:24.500
why people

27
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:25.000
tend to get

28
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.000
tendonitis in this area.

29
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.000
People generally

30
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.500
don't get

31
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:29.250
Achilles tendonitis

32
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.000
from any specific injury.

33
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:31.750
It's something

34
00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:32.250
that just tends

35
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:32.500
to happen

36
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.250
over time.

37
00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:34.000
It can come

38
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.750
from an injury

39
00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:36.250
but most often

40
00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:36.500
there's no

41
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:37.500
identifying cause.

42
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:38.250
Sometimes people

43
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:39.000
only have pain

44
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.750
in the area

45
00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:40.500
just at the heel

46
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:41.500
or just above

47
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:42.250
the bone

48
00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:43.750
in the tendon itself.

49
00:00:43.750 --> 00:00:44.250
Sometimes

50
00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:44.750
people will even

51
00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:45.750
see a a growth

52
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:46.250
or lump or

53
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:47.000
enlargement of

54
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:47.750
the tendon

55
00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:49.250
in the area at

56
00:00:49.250 --> 00:00:50.000
or above the bone

57
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:50.750
attachment as well.
