Developed in cooperation with the Mayo Clinic®, the Achilles tendon strap is widely used by many sports/medicine professionals who recognize it as an effective addition to the traditional treatment procedures for the ailment.
Achilles tendonitis is a common ailment of individuals in running and jumping sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and track. An individual will complain of pain, and possible swelling of the Achilles tendon combined with a decreased ability to perform that may be related to overstraining or the lack of proper conditioning of the tendon.
The Cho-Pat Achilles Tendon Strap, when used in conjunction with other forms of therapy such as ice and stretching, may provide effective relief from pain and discomfort of Achilles tendonitis. It decreases the tensile forces placed upon the Achilles tendon via the dissemination of forces resulting from a muscular contraction. The strap also promotes an early heel rise, which helps to reduce the stress placed on the tendon.
