2:09 "these (exercises) need to not hurt, if they are hurting you shouldn't be running".. Perfect advice, it's just what I was looking for, how is it that other TH-cam Achilles "channels" miss to tell us this. Thank you very much.👍👍
Question. I had achilles surgery July 23. I am trying to lift my heel of the repaired achilles, and it won't budge. Any thought on what I can do at home or in the gym. I have finished PT and now working with a trainer to get back to pre-injury mode. Also, I find balance stand on the repaired ankle is difficult. Any thoughts?
There are different ways in which you can restore the strength - to be honest I'm a bit surprised that you can't lift up on one leg at this point - what did your physio say about it? Sometimes very slow and controlled eccentric lowers can help get the strength back or even just isometrics to start with and other times it can help to play between these movements. If you want to understand what I mean by these exercises - I discuss the different types of exercises in this video - it's about tendinopathy but the exercise types are the same: th-cam.com/video/Dp8gzq9zoy4/w-d-xo.html If you wanted more specific rehab advice and help with getting back to your normal activities, this is something that our team of physios can help you with via video call.

Hi Doc, I came across your video as I felt my tendinitis of seven years (got it in 2016) acting up. I have tried shockwave therapy before (in 2019), and it got significantly better, but I failed to stay consistent in strengthening my tendon. Is it best if I get another shockwave therapy or I can just focus on strengthening and progressive loading? Many thanks in advance!
We usually only refer people for shockwave if they aren't making progress with their rehab. So, if your rehab is working well there isn't any need for shockwave.
Ive been working out my calves consistently. I removed the pain from my Achilles Tendon. The problem however, there is pain when Im Jumping Rope. When do you think its good to get back to it without pain?
You likely first need to build more strength through doing plyometric exercises - jumping rope is also plyometric but not as controlled and usually a very large volume of hops in one session, so you need to build up to it over several weeks.
… but you didn’t say anything about how to warmup your Achilles. You mentioned calf raises briefly. That’s one I guess but you missed the whole point of video based solely off the title.

@@TreatMyAchilles thank you so much for the answer! As of now, I just need to focus on strengthening it right?

You guys are great, thanks for the help

This is simply general running warm-up, nothing new
