Dear Dr Michael I had sepsis, 3 toes removed,, big to muddle, achilles tendon adjustment. I was in a cast for 2 months and found it to be extremely difficult to walk properly afterwards as foot pointed at 45 degrees. I find your videos to be extremely helpful. Can you please do a therapy video to address getting back to walking again. I'm doing the weighted calf raises, (500 to 1000 a day) lots of walking, kettlebell clean and jerks, eventually, it is only cycling which is restoring my ability to walk with toes pointing forwards. Best regards

Hello Doctor I'm a dancer and last year in the middle of May, my left ankle suddenly felt sore and in pain, so as usual I ignored it, until it came to a place where I couldn't even dance and wear heels anymore and it caused so much pain. After many consultations and MRI's it turned out my ankle had an inflammation and whichever physiotherapist I went to and many doctors nothing really helped to get ride of the pain fully, until a year later I found your video, and you have no idea how much this helped. I've been doing it everyday now and my ankle feels so much better. So thank you so much doctor for sharing this video and your knowledge with us🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰

Thanks, had quite severe pain and these techniques helped a lot
I have been going through months of pain and discomfort due to Achilles tendinitis/tendinopathy, it’s become chronic, and it got really bad over the last week and a half. I had my first physio session last week. I started the exercises, as directed by the physiotherapist , and felt some relief - but when I added you pinch massage technique, my ankle has felt so much relief. Thank you for sharing the massage techniques. I was able to walk at my normal pace and gait, and even do a good amount of gardening yesterday, and felt comfortable. 😊
This is amazing! I feel a lot better with the massage techniques. Thank you!
Yep. I've been in pain for days. Found this and now I'm feeling better.
WOW That scrapping with the spoon is so amazing. The release in pain and pressure was instant. I got golfer elbow last month and did something similar and it was a miracle. Thank you so much!

The spoon-thing worked for immediate relief of tenderness/pain that had been aggravating me for several weeks. Amazing! I'll see if it works next time.
This is amazing!!! Both my achilles tendons have been stiff after a long run. Pain and tension gone within literally seconds! I'll be adding these to my warm-ups and cool-downs for sure! Thanks!

I saw another video before I pulled this one up, the other one I could not understand her, saw your video next-I started doing yours and within the 15sec my left Achilles is so much improved I have to do the rest of the exercises the left is worse than the right but I thank you so very much. I do have such great Improvement already❤ It works, and of course I saved this video. 👍 Thank you1💥

Fantastic!!!!!!!
Thank you 🎉
oh man, whenever the Mackinac chiro bro pops up, I get the utensils ready. Yet another super helpful one for me.
In five minutes total, the pinching and pulling helped relieve the stiffness I feel in both achilles tendons. They are still tender when applying pressure, so I'll try some of the other techniques for more long-term relief. This is a great start. Thank you for sharing.
..the achilles massage technique is one that I started doing instinctively - so it's great to see it here. It's legit! Trust your instincts. Great, thank you.

Ive been fighting achilles tendonitis for almost a year. The last 2 months it's been getting better. I took some pain pills and once my achilles/heel was numb I started rubbing it gradually increasing the intensity. The next day my pain was gone. I can probably sprint now!!!!
Just the soft tissue massage was a relief 😌😌 thank you. The intetnet wins again.
Can't tell you how much your videos help me and have helped me in the past! I have a problem... I youtube Dr. Rowe! Thanks... working on this achilles... getting better! Told my husband, I wish I was your neighbor !! LOL
Thank you thank you thank. I just asked you if you had something for this in your PF video. But I found this. The spoon is magic. I went to podiatrist last Friday, he said I needed to buy inserts and different shoes. And just stretch. Well I feel like it's gotten worse. But just doing what u said, helped alot. Past 2 days I've barely been able to walk. In just 30 seconds 😆 I did get some release. Thank you so much.❤
This is magic

This is awesome thank you. Do you think it will work for Tennis Elbow as well?
Ive been having continuous strain on my tendon, im going to try this now and see how it handles
Me again. I do it now for quite a time after running each time. It helps a lot. I noticed that after running I always have some kind of cramp in my ankle, and after this, it's gone! I can now again run as long and as often as I want to, which is fantastic because I need it to lose energy (ADHD)! So, again, thanks a lot mate!👍
Worked so well...Thankyou Dr Rowe! Ive been hobbling around for 10 days with this. Always worse getting out of bed in mornings (ouch) or getting up from sitting. Youre a gem! My body "packed up" after my husband passed suddenly (unvaxxed friends, he had heart failure) - first my hip, then behind knee, then both archilles. My magnesium levels had dropped badly through extreme stress and grief, putting huge tension on my tendons due to muscle contraction. (Now rectified...) Your wonderful advice has been a huge help!! Sending a hug from New Zealand.
Thank you, following an hour walk yesterday, woke up and my heel was killing me. I have suffered with Achilles tendinitis now on and off for 9 months. I followed the massage exercises and stretches, for approximately 15 minutes and the pain has gone away, given me instant relief. I will be doing this everyday now, thank you. Any tips regarding exercising please?
I literally have tried everything! Going to give this a try. Thank you. I've been dealing with Achilles tendinitis for 2 months now! I also have a bone spur on the back of my heel that hurts so bad!! Do you have a video for bone spurs on the back of the heel? I also have something called dorsal calyx enthesophyte. An xray showed all this. Had an mri done of my foot yesterday. I don't have the results yet.
Thanks a lot

Dear Dr Michael. I really get so much benefit from your videos. I had sepsis, middle toe gone to ankle and toes 1 and 2 osteomyelitis and achilles tendon adjustment in Jan 2023. I'm finding really difficult to get achilles tendon working well again. Can you please do a video on exercises for achilles tendon post operation recovery. Best regards Seamus
Hello Dr. Rowe, I will be following your instructions, but can you advise if the exercises are suitable for Achilles pain at the insertion? Thank you.
Off topic of this video but may i ask you a question. My back went 2 days ago, crippling pain at the lower part and down my right leg, watch one your videos and it has helped tremendously. I can't stand straight, i'm leaning to my left side.......will this strighten as my back heals?. Many thanks.
Was helpful for pain above the heel but didn't really help my insertional tendonitis much. Would love to see more techniques around the heel where it inserts.
Ok, just tried the spoon muscle scrape on a year-long achilles/heel pain and feel immediate relief. EDIT: the relief was v short lived though. It's def. NOT a long term cure.

Hi Dr Rowe, i came across this video today as I have archilles tendonitis in my left foot that has just started making itself known. I also have extensor tendonitis too on top of the same foot. With these great instructions for massage and strength work my foot is feeling a little better. Shoudl I stop walking until the inflammation reduces? I've been wearing barefoot shoes for over 4 years now and have not had any issues until recently with a pair of boots I purchased, I plan to do some big walks soon and want to get this inflammation reduced so it doesn't hinder me. Would k-tape also help along in this regime of massage and strengthening when walking to reduce the tension? Love your work and clear instructions 🙂
Thanks a lot doctor for helping us with easy and helpful exercises without using any .equipments. Could i request u to help me with my ligament tear at the heel---ankle bursitis due to which fluid is fiilled on my foot between the ankle and the heel and there is pain in the knee area.
