The jets of a hot tub are the closest thing I have found to a miracle cure. If only I owned one...

icing as much as possible was the miracle cure for me...that and not running up steep hills.

No miracle cures Mark. The key is not to ignore early warning symptoms. Nip it in the bud as Barney Fife would say.

Mark - when I've had some achilles issues in the past, using a heating pack to warm up my distal calf muscles before heading out the door really helped. That and eccentric calf drops a few times per day.
