What is a Extensor Tendonitis

Pain and/ or tightness around the top of your foot could be the inflammation of the tendons positioned there. Flexing the foot, straightening your toes or raising your toes can exacerbate this pain. 
Causes:

• Poorly fitting shoes
• Tight Achilles Tendon (sometime due to an over-compensation reaction to an Achilles injury)
• Tight or Sore Calf Muscle​

So I have Extensor Tendinitis... Now what??

1. ✔️Rest: Try to avoid the activities that seem to exasperate the inflammation
2. ✔️Ice/ cold: Apply cold treatment to your foot for 15 minutes at a time, up to four times a day
3. ✔️Compression: This can be a great help in reducing swelling and supporting the foot
