Calf pseudo Achilles tendon – Squat destroys knees

The pseudo Achilles tendon in the calf – squats ruin the knee
A client working in Lujiazui came to the studio with a sad face, Rub your knees and sigh: ” I sit in the office for ten hours every day. Recently, I have trouble getting up and down the stairs. My knees are sore and soft. I am afraid to squat when I am working out. The trainer always says I need to change the movement of the inner buttons in my knee, but nothing works. He tried to do a squat, and his knees immediately collapsed inward, accompanied by a slight crunch and tingling, making even simple movements very difficult.

During the evaluation, the client was found to have touched the plantar fascia from the heel to the front of his feet, which felt unusually stiff, especially in the inner archery area, and to have his foot shrink in pain when pressed. He was given an ankle sprain test, where his feet could only rise 10 times (normally 20 to 30), and the muscles on the back of his calf were hard as stone, forming a noticeable pattern ” A fake Achilles tendon. ” When simulating a squat, the knee rotates uncontrollably inward, the myosar bone deviates from its normal trajectory during stretching, and the pressure near the internal side ligament is noticeable.

He suddenly relaxed after a light motion to release the plantar fascia: ” “There seems to be a wave of heat spreading out on the soles of my feet and I feel much less tense!” He then treated the calf fascia, guiding him to slowly stretch the ankle. The colleague released the plaque, and the calf muscle gradually regained its elasticity.The plantar atrophy improved immediately and eventually compensated for the knee, guiding release around the internal side ligament and the髌agus. Try the squat again. The effort is smooth. The knee pain disappears. It feels as if strength is steadily being uploaded from the bottom of the feet.

On the surface, it is a problem of the movement of the “knee buckle,” but it is actually sitting still for a long time. The plantar fascia lacks stretching and stimulation for a very long time, and gradually becomes stiff and knotted, limiting the normal movement of the ankle. In order to perform the squat, the calf fascia can only be overloaded to compensate, creating a tough “fake Achilles tendon,” further exacerbating the stiffness of the ankle. In order to compensate for the lack of activity in the ankle, the knee is forced to adjust its posture internally, causing the ligament to dislocate and the internal side ligament to be under tremendous pressure. Through gentle and precise relaxation techniques, the vicious circle of “the stiff lower leg compensates for a knee damage” broke down, helping him to find the correct force mode of the lower limb.
