As a podiatrist practicing in sunny Florida, one of the most common issues I encounter is Achilles tendinitis. This condition affects the Achilles tendon, the longest, widest, and strongest tendon in the human body.

Preventing Achilles tendon injuries is essential for maintaining mobility and enjoying an active lifestyle. The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is crucial for walking, running, and jumping.
