Before we jump right in to these stretches and exercises, it’s important that we make one distinction very clear: there’s a big difference between treating an acute case of tendonitis and a chronic Achilles tendon pain problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS: chances are there’s still a lot of inflammation in the area of your tendon. If your pain is less than two weeks old, my recommendation would be primarily an anti-inflammatory approach. Rest, ice, gentle massage, and gentle stretching will yield the best results for your problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS: At this point your pain is becoming slightly more chronic. The pain you are experiencing is no longer primarily inflammatory… at this point there is scar tissue that’s accumulating that needs to be addressed. This problem (termed an Achilles tendinosis) responds better to aggressive massage, stretching, and eccentric exercises (as demonstrated in the video above).
THE BEST EXERCISES FOR YOUR ACHILLES TENDON PAIN
I always recommend people start with some massage to the area of the injury. If the injury is acute (less than 2 weeks) you may need to be a little more gentle. If the problem has lasted longer than two weeks, you may have to be more aggressive. I tell patients to be as aggressive as their pain threshold will allow.
1. CROSS FRICTION MASSAGE: forward and back as well as up and down along the length of the injury.
2. FOAM ROLLER: great way to release fascia/knots up into the calf muscles.
After massaging, it’s important to introduce some gentle stretching into the Achilles area. Not many people realize that your “calf muscle” is, in fact, two muscles. Both are stretched slightly differently but it’s crucial that we spend a little time stretching both of them out.
3. STANDING GASTROCNEMIUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee straight.
4. STANDING SOLEUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee bent.
After stretching, it’s important to introduce some active motion into the ankle joint to promote as much blood flow as possible into the injured area and provide some slight tensile force through the Achilles. Our goal is to heal it and get it used to moving normally again.
The following progression of exercises is presented in order from least difficult (and least effective) to most difficult (and most effective). You should start with the first and work your way through the progression as tolerated.
5. ANKLE PUMPS: non-weight-bearing active motion through as much range of motion as you have available.
6. STANDING HEEL RAISES: stand up and raise/lower your heels as high as possible and then back down to the ground.
7. HEEL RAISES ON STAIR: with the balls of your feet on the edge of a stair you can raise/lower your heels through a greater range of motion. Try to let your heels fall below the level of your toes.
8. ECCENTRIC HEEL RAISES: has been proven to promote the best healing in tendons due to their high tensile forces. For a right calf Achilles tendon pain, you would stand on the edge of a stair and raise up onto both toes. Lift your left foot and slowly lower the heel raise with just your right leg.
There you have them! Those are the best tips, techniques, and exercises to help you to eliminate your Achilles tendon pain fast!

I started foam rolling watching your calf stretch video and continued to do what you recommended in this one.. they we’re all very helpful and I can tell the pain difference already! Thanks!
About 3 months ago, I sprained my ankle along with breaking a bone somewhere in there. After viewing the xrays, my doctor informed me I also injured my achilles tendon. I have since healed up with the sprain but don't have the full mobility of the ankle with some pain in the achilles, so now need to do physio so I am glad I came across your videos. I will be using your exercises to help strengthen both the ankle and achilles.
This is as clear and effective as it gets! I'm 2 weeks into this programme and the decrease in pain and my range of motion has changed dramatically. Big thanks from the UK!

Thanks for linking the calf video and other recommended videos of related muscle groups, it was also very helpful. Keep up the good work!!

If you have insertional tendonitis as opposed to the classic midpoint, rather than doing the calf raises at the edge of step, you should do them with your feet flat on the floor. Doing them off of a step will on make it worse in the long run.

This is awesome, thanks so much! A few questions: when it’s still tendinitis (not tendinosis), how much do these exercises help v. how much should one just do the rest/ice/anti-inflammatoires/stretching? Also, among those four tendinitis treatments, how important is it to rest at all costs, and how much can you keep training and be careful with the rest? I’m on a through hike right now and would love more than anything to keep hiking, even if more slowly.

That's amazing, Richard! The bumps are an accumulation of scar tissue... if you spend some time daily with cross friction massage and foam rolling it will help to break some of that up. Also, you might consider dropping weight on your calf raises and start to introduce more focused eccentric work. Hope that helps you! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I've had pain in my heel, tendon area and some in calf area for a couple of months now. The pain is only felt when I start walking. After 1k steps it gets worse. But if I don't walk for a full day, there is no pain. The pandemic had forced me to a very sedentary life. Now I can't even walk past 20 mins.

Have the same issue. It’s awful, you can’t do any active sport, as it aches
whenever I’m sitting (not all the time but a good bit of the time) I’m able to pull back on my toes and stretch out but when I do many times on both legs I feel a and her what sounds like a crack like the releasing of pressure in ones back or hip. It doesn’t hurt and I never thought it to be bad in fact thought it might be a good thing that I could be releasing pressure. I’m not sure if other experience this but if so, is it a bad thing ? Should I stop and get it looked at it ?

What if all stretches seriously hurt and you can hardly walk? This is my second flare up. First one was about 5-6 years ago.
WAs running 5 miles a day, then gradually my right A. tendon was so sore I could hardly walk. I walked with a limp for 3 or 4 days as I of course stopped the running. It's been 9 months, no running and it's still sore in the mornings and I limp a bit for the first 5 mins out of bed then it's fine. I"ve not started running again and massage my A. Tendon aggressively and still is only a little better and now I"m fat. I'll start doing the exercises you demonstrated here but I'm pretty frustrated and am about to start running again as I might as well be in shape since I'm going to be sore anyway.

I suggest do what i did, switch to classic strenght workouts and cardio designed for heel injuries. You can find it all on YT. I know how frustrating it is, but there are options out there, just dont do stuff that will inflame the tendon again..i know its tempting :(
