Do your calf muscles ache? Is the back of your heel and ankle swollen or tight?

• Wear shoes with adequate support
• Decrease, or in severe cases suspend physical activity
• Avoid uphill climbs
• Apply ice after activity
• Avoid excessive stretching which can worsen the condition
• Add arch supports to shoes
