Achilles Tendonitis Relief in Tucson
Achilles tendon issues are one of the most common complaints among Tucson runners and desert hikers—our Shaolin herbal approach offers natural relief.
Natural Healing for Runners, Athletes & Active Lifestyles
Achilles tendonitis strikes when overuse or injury inflames the tendon, causing:
✧ Morning stiffness ✧ Redness/heat ✧ Cracking sounds ✧ Limited mobility
Conventional fixes (ice, rest, NSAIDs) often fail—they reduce pain temporarily but slow healing. Kung Fu Medicine accelerates recovery by combining ancient herbs with modern sports science.
Stage 1: Herbal Ice for Initial Inflammation (Days 1–7)
Goal: Cool heat + maintain circulation to flush swelling.
Key Products:
Herbal Ice
Why? Cools like ice but boosts circulation (unlike ice).
How? Apply as a poultice overnight or for 1-hour sessions.
Acute Injury Liniment
Why? Penetrates deep to reduce swelling + prevent scar tissue.
How? Massage above/below the injury 3x daily.
Pro Tip: Skip ice packs—they restrict blood flow. Herbal Ice heals 2x faster.
Stage 2: Shaolin Tendon Liniment for Deep Healing (Days 7–21)
Goal: Relax spasms + restore tendon flexibility.
Key Products:
Tendon Injury Liniment
Why? Repairs micro-tears in tendons/ligaments.
How? Apply before/after activity with upward strokes.
701 Plaster
Why? Warming herbs release chronic tightness.
Caution: Remove if pain increases (switch to Herbal Ice).
For Cold-Weather Pain: Swap Tendon Liniment for Po Sum On Liniment (heat-based relief).
Stage 3: Wu Yang Plaster for Long‑Term Strength (Weeks 3–6+)
Goal: Restore full mobility + prevent reinjury.
Key Products:
Tendon Injury Liniment (pre/post-activity)
Gentle Rehab (eccentric calf raises, yoga stretches)
Severe Cases? Add Gou Pi Plaster nightly to strengthen tendons.
Realistic Timeline
Severity - Healing Time (With Protocol)
Mild (early pain) 3–6 weeks
