How an achilles
tendon attaches to
the back of the
foot
Muscles, skeleton, connective tissue, tendons, overstretching, structure, movement.
While this section has been about the skeleton and the bones that are within it, we need to take a quick look at the muscles that connect to them.
You can read more on the muscular system by clicking the link you've just read.
So, muscles connect to bone, but how? Simple, they connect using tendons. These tendons attach at one end of the muscle, and then to the corresponding bone. If we look at the Achilles tendon, it connects to the calf muscle at the bottom, and then to the heel bone at the back of the foot.
Here is a YouTube video from OneMinuteClass:
This is OK, but sometimes they get overstretched, and so remedial therapy can be useful to tackle the problem. Of course, before you go and do anything that is this type of action, please seek medical attention first. They will be best equipped to direct you in the right way.
Without muscles, we wouldn't be able to stand up, or lift anything. They help our bones with structure, but also with movement.
Here are a selection of links to items you could buy that would help teach some of the subject materials.
