Elastic band trick eases achilles pain in small study

This study tested whether wrapping an elastic band around the lower leg (tissue flossing) during exercise helps reduce pain and improve movement in people with Achilles tendinopathy. Thirty adults with long-term Achilles pain were split into two groups: one did standard exercises alone, the other added a single session of tissue flossing. Researchers measured pain, ankle motion, and jump performance right after treatment and one week later to see if the flossing provided extra short-term relief.
