For hikers and backpackers dealing with painful retrocalcaneal bursitis, the constant rubbing of heavy boot collars against the heel tendon can cause severe fluid swelling. 🥾💧
Targeted bursal offloading, acoustic shockwave therapy, and custom heel-elevation orthotics reduce direct friction, allowing the painful internal sac to drain and heal naturally.
