It appears that using lifts and shoes with a higher heel for extended periods of time will shorten and stiffen the Achilles’ tendon, and subsequently have an effect on overall balance and posture.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience from LL on some exercises to reverse this effect (if it is even reversible). I was thinking of training with a balance board.
Also any information on whether this has an effect on how much one is able to lengthen tibias, as I imagine a shortened ACL would limit the lengthening potential, is welcome.
