  For the first 24-72 hours you want all of the above. Rest it as much as possible, wrap and ice (20 mins on at at time, frozen peas/corn work great for icepacks), and keep elevated as much as possible.
  After that initial period, ice directly after activity to minimize swelling, and you can also use moist heat to "...

  It's not so much support for the tendons. One of the theories behind it is that it helps lift the skin away from the structures underneath it (microscopically) which allows a little more room for swelling, which in turn helps minimize pain.
  A second theory is that it acts much like rubbing an area does, which interrupts the pain signal to the brain. It is ...

  The knee is very complex and it can be difficult to say what is good/bad for yours specifically. What is good/bad entirely depends on your condition and strength level. To make matters worse, even physios can disagree (depending on where and when they learnt, and how much they keep up with their science). For example, I've been told by some doctors and ...
  Based on my own experiences, I can only say that the shock wave therapy did help on the pain in my feet from PF, but not enough to help me start running again. The later took 9 months and a very slow start-up after that. Now - two years later - I run 40+ km/week and participate in all the half-marathons I can find the time for... I still tape my feet (the ...

  I was diagnosed w/ posterior tibial tendonopathy by physician at running clinic at major university. He sent me to their PT to learn how to tape the ankle. For 3 mos, I applied tape as directed and did the core strengthening exercises that he prescribed, as well as ran in place learning to acquire a new running technique in which I would strike mid-foot ...

  I can't give you medical advice - (not a doc), but I can give you some links to hopefully help answer some of your questions.
  Here is some information on Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The treatment is relatively new so evidence for its outcomes is still being collected. For example, using PRP for elbow tendinitis (tennis elbow) has shown clinical ...

  If you live in an area where you have a choice here are some considerations to help you decide who you want to see.
  Certification - Look for an orthopedic physician certified in the sports medicine subspecialty and check to see that their certification is current. In the U.S. sports certified physical therapists will have SCS initials after their name.

  I've sprained both of my ankles.
  To strengthen them back up the physio gave me lots of balancing exercises to do.
  Started out simply balancing on one foot. When you're trying to balance you move your ankle a bit and this strengthens it up.
  You can move onto balancing on a bosu ball if you find this is too easy.
  You can also close your eyes to make it ...

  I'm not sure if this is the best answer for you, but from my own experiences I'd recommend three exercises that I've really found terrific:
  Single leg Romanian deadlifts. Long name, lots of radness. In particular I like it because it tends to quickly isolate and showcase imbalances. There's a lot of "little" muscles working in order to pull this lift off. ...

  Any exercise program is going to require calories to support building strength and muscle. While you make no reference to the exercises, sets, and reps you are performing, let's assume that you are fueling your body sufficiently for the three training days. You can check that by using one of the many online calorie estimators. While they can approximate ...

  When you train for high resistance, your body will gain a mind-muscle connection to the specific movement. If you don't train that particular movement for a long period of time, those motor neurons used to fire those muscles will not be as strong as they were before.

  It depends on your knee problems. If you are able to do squats as Larissa says then great. I know people who would be able to do squats, but would suffer for at least a week after. I would suggest slow controlled step overs, to start to build the vastus medius muscle, which will help take the pressure off of the knee. Step overs. Take a bench. Step ...

  I'm going to preface this with the fact that I am not a physical therapist, nor am I a personal trainer. Before embarking on any type of exercise regimen, I do recommend you talk to your doctor and quite possibly get a physical therapist if you (or your family) can afford it. The good news is that it seems like your condition is not degenerative. My ...

  I think a lot of people unconsciously stress their necks during exercises (especially weightlifting). It takes practice to relax the neck during these exercises. If possible, exercise in front of a mirror and you'll see that your neck is being unconsciously stretched when lifting. Fix the issue by consciously relaxing your neck once you realize it's ...
