I have tendinitis on my foot due to endurance training, will this help me get rid of this injury?

It can't hurt- active recovery mode is designed to bring blood through the muscles and flush toxins. Tendinitis is not muscle related, and is an injury as I understand it, only gets better by rest. I hate to hera that, but had the same with my elbow from racquetball. Call Hammer Nutrition, they know a lot about the unit

Yes, I use it for stretching my feet. I have plantar fasciitis. It hurt to use at first, as it is hard material, but now I love it...esp when my arches ache from not wearing my shoe inserts.

I think it depends on what injury you have. I broke my foot. Diagnosed with Li's Frank injury. 2,3,4 metatarsal break. I basically crushed my foot. When I wore it at night it felt fine. But in the morning when I took it off I was in extreme pain. I think its best for a couple hours for compression purposes. But longer than that I wouldn't recommend. This product is a very good product. It gives great support and great compression. Hope I helped with your question. Happy healing.

Yes, you can. In fact, when I was in rehab for plantar faciitis, I wore my athletic shoes with orthotics. You can get a single and a double version. If you use either be sure to hold onto something firm while doing your stretches. If you use the single, you simply hold one foot either beside and above your working ankle, or tuck the foot behind the calf on the side you are working.

yes, it displaces the anchor point of your tendon and therefore does not damage the sensitive point anymore allowing it to heal.

I've used it. I don't see improvement but it seems to help the toe from getting worse. If the toe is at a sharp angle towards other toes, I can't see it helping at all. I would ask my GP for an opinion as he would be dealing with toe problems from a variety of cases.

Works based on a consistent stride, so may not be the best for hiking. And with long distances, be careful of overuse tendonitis too, try Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis if you get it.

No harm, but little gain. It just won't work as well. Be sure to soak your feet frequently and for extended periods of time as often as you can in the next 4 to 6 day and that will increase efficacy.

I will be 50 in April, have had 6 knee operations, and LOVE this series of workout BECAUSE of its low impact! I am now doing the Master Series and use knee bands for my tendinitis when it flares up, but they don't prevent me from doing the workouts! He shows how to modify the exercises for folks with knee problems and constantly reminds you to protect your knees! Not knowing what your knee issues are, I would say you would be fine. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Good luck!

I don't have Plantar fasciitis so I cannot help you with this. I DO have a bit of neuropathy and although there are times it is too strong of a massage, overall, it has been great for circulation and general loosening up of the muscles. I realize this is not your question but thought something in it might be of help.

I would ask a foot doctor about that. Fungal infections require special treatment, for example. The soak with Tea Tree feels good, smells great, and is healing in many ways, but for real answers, ask a foot doctor and have a professional diagnosis.

I have used fat and it works fine, don't have any experience with tendon or muscles. However, I am sure it would work.

Not sure, most popular for Achilles/plantar fasciitis (BTW, Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis, The 5 Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution helpful too)

I don't remember any instructions coming with it-though I see from other answers that some did. I learned how to use it during the physical therapy sessions I had to get over the worst of the plantar fasciitis flare up.Basically, you put your foot on it as shown and push your heel down to stretch the back of your leg. Leg straight stretches one set of muscles and tendons; leg bent stretches a different set. At PT, they had me stand my other foot on a 4" step, but I haven't found that to be necessary at home.

I've had Tendlite for about 3 weeks so I'm no expert. From my experience so far, I can say, don't expect this to be a quick fix. I get quicker pain relief using a TENS unit, even Bengay is faster. I think the infrared/tendlite treatment is more of a long term process.

Sorry I don't know the answer. I purchased the pain cream for my husband, we've never used the foot therapy cream. You might try connecting with the manufacturer.
