Achilles Tendon Pain

Posts Tagged ‘ballet’

Well I had already asked a question about doing pointe..but I have another question about pointe.
I have tendonitis in both my ankle and the arch of my foot,both on the same foot. These were caused by multiple injuries. My teacher is moving our entire level up onto pointe,but I don’t know if I’m physically strong enough. Should I do it? Or am I risking permanently injuring myself?

my dad (a doctor) said its peroneal tendinitis…idk wat that is!!! if ne one knows… TELL ME i miss my flats!

In the middle of ballet class yesterday, my ankle started hurting when I pointed or when en pointe. It still hurts when I do so. My ankle hurts around the Achilles tendon area, but it does not look swollen or red, nor show any other symptoms of any injury. What could it be and what should I do?
It doesn’t hurt when I walk.

I’m am pretty sure I have achilles tendonitis in both ankles. They are really stiff in the morning and generally as I go through the day, they become better. When I start ballet, they hurt, but it goes away during class. A few hours after class, they’ll be really stiff.

I have been abstaining from ballet and any exercise other than walking for a week, and they are not really hurting, but maybe still a little stiff. I was considering going back to ballet class tomorrow, but should I wait longer?

How much rest is generally needed for achilles tendonitis?

Hungarian non-competing partner hurt during International Ballet Competition performance
JACKSON, Miss. – A 28-year-old Hungarian dancer tore his right Achilles tendon while performing during the USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson.

I hurt both my ankles (sprain and tendonitis) I cut down 6 classes to 3 classes a week and I’ve been doing almost everything except for pirouttes and fouettes. How should I gain back my strength for these? I feel really unstable even though it’s been about 3 or 4 months. I fell 3/5 times I tried them.

if so, how did you heal it?..

if you did not have tendonitis, how did you avoid it? (knowing that ballerinas dance on their toes or balls of the feet)
