Sports. I’m icing the tender tendon now

Very helpful and informative. I did experience some instant relief. Thumbs up👍🏽.

Been running for last 4 weeks, 3 times a week. Started at 3m now up to 5. Anyway experiencing pain in my right achilles and just finished watching your vid on this topic from 4 yrs ago! Glad to see the methods are similar and still relevant. I'll be doing these exercises each day and see how I get on. Cheers.

I fell going up hill. The doc said I over extended the achilles. I don't have a little step for the Stair Stretch at home. This is what I came up with to do it. To start, I put two tomato paste cans on their side one behind the other in front of the bottom of my stairs. This spaced the can away from the step enough for me to work with it. Later I put them on top of a yoga mat to keep them from rolling. I then put the ball of my foot on the can closest to me. After that got easier for me, I took two vegetable cans on their side at the bottom of the stairs and put my foot on the can closest to me. On another note, my ankle was pretty weak for the Eccentric Heel Raises off of a stair so my PT had me start out doing the excercise on the floor first then work up to doing it on the stair as my ankle got stronger. These are all great exercises. Thanks for putting out this video!

Great stuff. Mine is overuse from cycling. I like the eccentric lowering idea. One thing I’ve done is anchor a band to the wall and loop it over my toes. Pulling my toes up with the band providing resistance.

thanks ! this move at 3:58 helps a ton, I use resistsnce band and it work quite the same. I've been in pain at upper part of achilles tendon since afternoon. I ease the stress and stiffness at evening thanks to this video 😊. one note to myself is to stretch the calves and achilles/heel before doing leg day 😂, a day before I did leg day.

yes you're right when i brought the leg closer i felt it better,!!

Nice session, thank you dear

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!

Definitely felt it more in my achilles when doing the soleus stretch!

All of your videos are super helpful! They provide much needed relief. I’m curious though do you happen to have a video for pain the arch area in the foot? Thanks!!

Hi doctor when should I start this exercise my achilles is just two months since I injured

Thankyou very much for these. I do get achilles issues in my left ankle area. I also get some pain, seemingly under my foot and into my arch. Is this related, as along with a massage ball in my arch, these exercises seem to help. I stretch every day, but I think I overstrain it from time to time. I'm 68 in April but very fit. Walking, cycling, jogging, and golf. My family say I do too much, but I love training and being fit. Many thanks for you videos, I use them all the time and have built up a collection that keep me going.

I think these exercises are for me. I have pins in my left ankle. I am reasonably fit and run regularly. My ankle has never been quite the same since my accident. Will it ever feel "right"?

Please help me.Problem is regarding my left quadratus lamborum on my left side. For 3_4 years it was giving me a lot of pain in the middle side of my left side back but a few days about a week ago I was sitting on floor for long time and I didn't realize that I was putting pressure on my left hip and left side while sitting and when I stood up I had an extreme pain in my hip and thighs and my lower back side . And the pain that I use to feel on the middle of my back side and no there I feel like it's now shifted down towards my left hip and a part of my left lower back and now I want sit on a sofa as easily as I used to sit before this happened. What should I do and how should I get rid of it. Please help me I'm in pain

I have an inflamed right heel bursa. My doctor recommended an Achilles brace, but i found it very uncomfortable, especially on that heel. I stand and walk all day at work. Most days i end up limping. Ive tried various stretches everyday, but they don't seem to be helping. Any suggestions? Thank you

My injury has been about 7 weeks ago an it is a ruptured tendon will this help or hurt? My toes are curling downward when I walk and I have no strength to push my foot off the floor.Can you help or do I need to see a dr.? I am 71 years old. Thankd

I think I have Achilles tendonitis? Stretches are more painful when trying to angle my foot too much but I can perform variations of them. Reinjured trying to run too soon, a month after injury originally occurred. These injuries usually take a few months then, to fully heal, right? Lesson learned.

I'm on my feet alot at work . I walk back and forth in a restaurant and have work shoes with too much cushion that the foot feels like it's moving .

How many times a day should i do this “workout” sir

Is it meant to be pain free?

Are these safe to do with a bone spur?

Dr Jared, due to previous injury, I have a calcification on my Achilles slightly above my left ankle. I have zero pain, but I can’t stand on my left ball of the foot unsupported. So I don’t have push off on that foot. I’ve tried rehab and red laser therapy and those haven’t helped. My left calf is also weak. Do I see a podiatrist or orthopedic doc? Is it surgery time to remove that ossification? Thanks.

Oh man - I'm sorry to hear about your pain, @d.sylvester5492! If PT didn't help, I would perhaps consider a couple of options: 1. Go to another PT (I always advocate conservative care over anything else) 2. Go to a podiatrist (they may be able to recommend a different treatment) 3. Go to a foot/ankle orthopedist. For something like that I like as many opinions and options as possible to come up with the best plan of care with the fewest long-term implications. Good luck!

Hey, could you considering doing one on back exercises for overweight people? Laying down on my stomach isn't exactly a reasonable option right now, but my back does need help.

I have total knee replacments on both knees. 2 years apart. Within the last week, the first leg done my achilles, at the heel, has become painful....all the time. Maybe I overdid my exercises. Is this common? I will try your exercises. I understand that the new geometry has something to do with this. Thank you for your excellent demonstration. No one explained the importance of strengthening the tendon. I'm 59 years old, and the last thing I want is to get more x- rays. Understand that in no way will I blame you if things get worse...it's on me. Feel free to give your opinion. Hell, I'll try anything. Thanks for your video!

is the heel painful on idle or during movement ? if it's painful all the time don't do this exercise. but if the pain is during movement then it could be due to stiff muscle. my grandma also had knee replacement (72 years old), she had trouble getting up from sitting position and claim it was painful. she often got cramped when she sleeps during first 3 week of knee replacement. I try to relax the stiff muscle but on old people I noticed that the symptoms are different. so I think it's advisable to be smarter physically and know which part of your muscle is hurt. if you hate xray do physical therapy, I have good contact but I live in Indonesia. not sure you can reach, but I have my therapy at soekamtocare. hope you went well soon

I had this injury since almost two years I tried a different medication like the Anti-inflammatory , voltaren and nothing changed. Right now I’m taking Physical therapy using shocks waves same time I feel better but also same time during walking I feel worse from the pain really hurts and I don’t know what else I can do please if can help me out I will be grateful 🙌🏻

first you need to do an mri or like xray scan of your muscle. if the symptoms is 'muscle tear' then I'm afraid this kind of exercise won't help. I had shockwave therapy too before but it is only to 'relax' your stiff muscle, and that's it. to fix the pain you need to strengthen your muscle or repair it (if it tears). as far as I know achilles tear have to be medically treated or else you can still walk, but you overload other muscle and it's what causes the pain

Came cross your video wanted check it out

Suffered this for going on to 5 years. Carrying chairs and tables up and down stairs for months, working doors and floors for hours per shift... twisting turning. I'm 36 years old and my grandfather is more active than I am. I made the mistake of going hard on the shoulder press once I got the smith machine. The next day I wanted to end it! (Life) But even before this - I couldn't imagine even at @1:40s. Life is depressing if you're dealing with this severely. I've had dry needling with no avail.

Most of these exercises would probably have helped, as suggested by my physio. But I didn't stick to them. I had the moon boot for a little while and that was absolutely fantastic. No pain at all. Some medication I take, does help but very hard on the stomach (arthrexin).

I am 49 now I play football 2 or 3 times a week both My Achilles give me moderate pain I find it hurts more in the morning when I get out of bed.

I felt it instantly when I bent my knee.

I started sprinting suddenly, almost 2 years on (with a pregnancy in there) I’m still struggling! I’ve just resumed gym and weightlifting and it’s come back so much worse that even walking is difficult

problem is my calfs arent tight so none of these help. I went to phisio for months with no change.

Any exercises for tailbone pain which is out of alignment

It's always better to take the time and heal first. Further injury could make things worse and put you down for even longer.

Did the roller 😁😁😁 Yes! It worked!! Started tsking the tenderness, pain away the first day! There are a lot of advice, i 10/10 recommend the knowledge on this channel. Question, whats effective when you travel and cant take the foam roller (this was really big, its been 4 days since i started, first day with no early morning stiffness 😀😀😀)

URGENT I CAN WALK With pain but swollen for 1 Yr now. But 1 Yr still unable to go on tiptoe?? Why. Then a doctor told me if I walk too much the achilles could snap?

Just played basketball yesterday for first time in a while now the next day I can hardly walk

Hoe can I send u a donation via Venmo?

I didn’t find self massage and stretching to help at all. I much prefer to do the heel raises without being on a surface. just on the ground. on a block like that would be have been way too much to start with. The thing that’s helped the most has been some Soleous activation in different positions and then progressively loading heel raises but from a ground position not on a step up.

Now I thought we weren't supposed to stretch insertional Achilles arthritis. All the other videos say we just do load training and heal UPS.

nothing works. I have to walk less than a quarter mile every day, down to the store for food. No matter how 'ok' (that's a relative term) my achilles feel when I leave, by the time I get back, both, (or sometimes only one) are killing me. They never heal

To fix Achilles Tendonitis you need to use heavy loads , Make it or Break it - tactic . When you stretch the tendon with heavy weight you force the little fibers inside to go in same direction . The massage dosnt work .

Thanks for sharing your experience, @kevinnikolov4418! Eccentric loading is absolutely the goal that everyone should work towards. I will disagree with you on the massage, though... there are a number of good studies that support cross-friction or cross-fiber massage as an effective means of healing tendinopathy.

Please guide . i workout at home ani workout at home so i started HIT withot wearing shoes and suddenly this pain comes up , i neglect that and it increase , i feel pain early in the morning and the time my leg is in the rest and then i started to walk and it goes away in few minutes, and when i stretch its all good and i also realize when i stretch second time at night and use some balm it reduce inflammation and relieve pain so i feel much better in the morning and pain like get better,This pain is from several weeks so do i have to stop doing cardio or weight lifting or HIT? and how long does it take ?
