  Two things help a lot: 1. This stretch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBafLfMXeis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBafLfMXeis 2. Ice packs - avoid heat for sure. And try to stay off your feet. Last Monday, I think tightened a tendon on the front part of my right foot because I had tried to walk too fast the previous evening. Thankfully, understanding the principles of stretching and icing helped me recover from that in 2 days (it wasn't as serious as the Achilles tendon tightening). Just take it slow and give yourself time to heal. The good news is that this isn't chronic (what the physiotherapist told me). After you heal, just take care to be stretched and warmed up before putting repetitive stress on your tendons. Edit: When you are injured, the rest of your body has to put itself under extra stress when you move to offset the lack of mobility that the tendonitis causes. So you increase the probability of other injuries (in my case, the tightening of other tendons). Try to be super careful and super patient.
