For my achilles recovery, I'm now doing both calf raises and eccentric loading exercises (with increasing weight) every day. It's really helping. I'm doing an easy run/walk with icing afterwards. If you have insertional achilles tendinopathy (pain right at the point the tendon attaches to the heel), don't drop your heel below the toes when doing exercises. It will pull on the tendon too much. They actually said this in the video, but not in plain language. Go see a good sports doctor/physio before it gets worse.

Physio here. In isertional achilles tendinopathy you should not get the heel dropped because the calcaneus compresses the tendon. Compression forces seems detrimental to tendon healing, like in rotator cuff tear. Eccentric is not better than concentric, evidence suggests doing heavy and slow. 4 sec concentric and 4 sec eccentric. Start with light weight 3*12 and get to lower reps like 6/8. You need to feel a bit of pain the next day. Probably start running now is a bit too soon if you need ice. Star some plyometrics works before

so pretty much just do toe raises? better to do the standing ones or seating with a weight on top?

I used to have Achilles Tendonitis on a very regular basis. The three things that have really gotten rid of that problem for me has been foam rolling before and after, cold tubs, and 15 minutes of jump rope at least once a week.

Body weight single leg calf raises - 4 or 5 sets or more everyday! 10 -15 reps.. Strong mind muscle connection during the eccentric to build back elasticity. I did those back in March when the gym was closed down. Was back running not long after!

@@anrylmediadero2236 do them til you feel confident to run a little. Until the exercise feels painless and you're doing so many reps effortlessly. The purpose of the calf raise exercise is to break down the capillaries in the tendon and build back tendon strength. In my case, my achilles tendon was sensitive to touch until i did the workouts 👍

I’ve had this for sometime and it’s very troublesome. I’m quiet heavy to be a runner but I can bang out the miles and suddenly I seemed to have inflammation of the achillies after running. I tried a lot of things but in the end the best results was to totally back off and simply walk. I did this for 6 months and now I’m pain free and can run and sprint OK…. Like the vid states I’m a male well in my 40’s so I perfectly fit the demographic. Take your time is the one piece of advice I’d give. If you rush it you’ll be back to square one

Mine is finally showing progress at nearly 1 year after injury. Everyone this is a very challenging issue to solve, and it's really hard to back off mileage at the beginning. Please don't make the mistakes I have and start treating it and resting the leg right away at the earliest signs. I think what she said about weight was really important. I didn't start seeing progress until I started doing the eccentric lowering with 60 lb weights twice a week. My body weight was just not enough to promote healing. Calf massages, and also keeping your hamstrings loose will also really help, as will anti-inflammatories, especially at the beginning. Good luck! This is a super frustrating and chronic injury to have.

thanks for this, had this for months now..

This is super stuff. I have an Arthritic condition which really upsets my training schedule and a reoccurring injury/theme is the achilies tendon. I'm going to try this approach and see how I get on.

Thanks for the well informed video.

I’ve had shock wave therapy on my Achilles which helps with the circulation to the area. I thought my running days were over and this really helped alongside doing strength and conditioning work.

Big tq to gtn. Always shared gd videos n infos❤

Tendinopathy in O/50's: Do BOTH concentric and eccentric calf raises (no need to limit it them to eccentric only) Forget sets of 12 reps, instead use a timer for each set - this will encourage 'slow' calf raises. Increase the time by 2 secs each day Use any pain on first waking/standing as a signal of the previous day's running/rehab exercises - adjust accordingly Substitute the elliptical trainer (yes, I know it's not the same) for running if the pain is increasing Allow 3-6 months to realign the (new) tendon fibres - how long? Maintain 2 sets per week, even when pain-free NB Ignore stories of athletes that have snapped their achilles' when you just have tendinopathy - they are not (statistically) related

Very chronic injury and it gets worst and worst if you try to push your limits more. It needs full attention and therapy.and no rush for sprint runnings and jumping without full recovery. I learned my self in a hard way. Good luck to everyone and don’t delay to see your Dr if you have any sings of this injury.

It’s taking ages to recover.. it has been one month without running 😭 took 3 weeks when the pain is gone and waiting for another two week to have some tensile strength...

How is it going for you

I recently recovered from Achilles tendonitis. I had worked my way up from walking 2 miles/day to running 5 miles/day, 5 days/week over the course of a year, and had been running for several months, but had recently been pushing my pace. My major risk factor was being 45. Didn't hurt a bit when running, but over the course of a week, walking and going down steps got worse and worse pain. I spent 3 months in a boot except during physical therapy with no cardio permitted. My doc recommended a low impact regimen like cycling, so I've switched to that. He also said that people with big, muscular calves are more likely to suffer this than long, skinny calves.

It's been going on for a year now. Eventually plantar fasciitis joined the party, so even easy jogging is out of the question if I want to be able to walk next morning. What seems to help is putting the treadmill to maximum incline and walk, walk, walk.

I had Achilles tendinitis for about 12 months, when I got it I downed the miles and did eccentric exercises which helped but when I tried to raise the miles again it just came back. 6 weeks ago a friend asked me if I wanted to make a comeback at five a side football, half an hour in I snapped my Achilles, complete rupture. I’ve now had reconstructive surgery and now I’m on the long road to recovery 😩

Good day I just wanted to find out how your Achilles is doing now?

I am an Ultrarunner and I am basically dealing with my Achilles for one and a half years now. Granted, most of that time I kept running, since breaks didn‘t help and you hear so many opinions from many people. Right now I am out of running for 9 months. Thanks for the awesome video. The questions that remain are the following: The seated exercises are supposed to be done with heavy weights and on a platform. Does that mean that I have to go below/above 90 degrees, meaning that I go below my toes downward? And before that, do I lift the heavy weight upwards with the injured leg as well? The standing eccentric exercise has to be done differently as I understand. No more than 90 degrees downwards, but here as well: Do I push upwards with the injured leg? I hope I could describe my questionmarks to everyone’s understanding. I hope you can answer me shortly.

going to try this now!

I also found using a technogymn 'skill mill' very useful (before lockdown). The curved track drops away and I was able to run, as the curve eased pressure on my achilles/calf.

New to run been running 3.5 km a day everyday since last 10 days, it was going all good I was making progress. On my 1st day it took me 28:12 but yesterday I did it in 25:13 with 5 minutes brisk walking. But today I pushed myself a bit harder and I ahd completed 2km in 10 minutes and suddenly my ankles started to hurt 😭 it was not fun, it was so hard for me to reach hoem

I started using a Achilles strap to help relieve the pain. The knot I had on my tendon is going down and the pain has gotten much better

Aloha, this vid was extremely helpful. I do a lot of running and i felt a pop in my calf and massaged it out and took off a couple days of running. Then started having achilles pain in my left one. Was looking for a good stretch and strength program. goin g to try this so i can be ready for the Honolulu marathon in December 2020. I will check in to let you know how it goes. in the mean time i'm icing after runs and warming up on the spin bike. Thanks again for this wonderful video.

Thanks for this my GP couldn’t give me and inkling cause she couldn’t figure out had all kinds of scans for no reason clearly cause I’m 95% certain this is the problem I’ve got to get a referral to the Physiotherapist thx again lifesaver been almost 2 years

Thank you. Just caught this video. 4 weeks off running because I tried to run through the pain and then, because life goes on, wrecked my calf on the leg I was favouring. Will start with the achilles strength training on Monday and hopefully be back running soon.

Had a bad case when I was 35. Took 13 weeks to get back to running. My advise would be strengthen the gastrocnemius, soleus and glute medius for 6 weeks before you even start running and when you do start start with a couch to 5k program where you take 9 weeks to run 5km non stop

About a year or two ago, Heather interviewed Sébastien Kienle (sp?) and he mentioned "flossing" his Achilles. I was having Achilles issues at the time so I looked it up on KZread.

Been there, had that. 6 months recovery. I'm a 12xIM triathlete. 1. NEVER stretch a cold muscle. 2. self-massage is good 3. Ice is your friend 4. Do not bounce while stretching 5 warm up thoroughly, jog 1-2k, then stretch, then continue. It's all about promoting circulation to the area and avoiding sudden trauma. That said, after thorough warm-up and stretching, you're good to go. My recovery included all this, plus ankle wraps or taping to keep the tendon close to the bone at the ankle, and in its proper position, during use.

Use a lacrosse ball and roll out all the knots in your upper and lower calf as well as doing strengthening exercises. I felt with Achilles tendinitis for almost a year now and it always goes away when I loosen up my calf region. Also if u have a hip drop that’s caused from a weak glute medius and max you should work on those as well because that can be a factor as well

I'm going through it right now. Light stretching of the area with strength training of the calf.

Ahhh why didn't I have this video a year ago! The second half of last year was a pretty sore experience..

It don't know why, and it might just be me, but I now always wear shoes that have very firm less reactive padding, especially in the heel area, vs. "comfortable" long distance training shoes that everyone else seems to like, or shoes that give more "bounce" or "energy return".

No idea why, but guess not so much movement with less foam helps, so I look for running shoes with max 6mm drop, ideal I think 4mm which is opposite of some advice who say go 7mm upwards to take the pressure off the Achilles, but this made it worse for me when I purchased some expensive running shoes with 10mm drop and lots of so-called injury prevention foam.

Same here! Got Achilles Tendonitis running in “standard” cushioned shoes fitted at the running store. After switching to 0mm drop shoes when running, no problem! The high heel drop made me heel strike which is not natural for me hence the injury. For longer distance I go more cushioned but 4mm drop.

I had trouble for 20 years, went for 15 & then returned. Cured by daily Thai massage for 21 days, working it hard with their elbows. Hurt like hell but actually fixed it.

Great video, thanks for the information. I find that my Achilles have benefited a lot from increasing my stretching. I mainly focus on my hamstrings and calf's, which I find tighten up a lot during the week as I sit at a desk most of the day. Not a yoga expert but the Dogward facing dog works really well. I used to have a lot of Achilles issues to the point I could walk properly in the morning after getting out of bed because they were so painful. But now find as soon as I feel them tightening up, by simply increasing my stretching the pain will completely disappear.

Damnnnnn her every line cleared my doubt , i am only out on sundays and i try to push 10 miles

I am getting in the higher milages with my marathon training (> 22k) and here and there I feel my achilles tendons mostly during indoor cycling on heavy resistance while standing. So I started a leg strength training together with a mobility program to avoid niggles and injuries. So far I am blessed with having black toe nails being my worst “injury”.

I had/have quite a bit of a pain in the old achilles tendons, however, I've found my pain seems to be caused by tight hamstrings, as once I stretch them out, after about 30 seconds, the pain completely goes on my calcaneus (no idea how to spell that, sorry) and it is no longer sensitive to the touch

Thank you very much for this informative video, i have had achiles tendinopathy for 2 months, and i just recovered from it. The thing is that i have been running for months i have never been injured before, until i decided to change my shoes so i bought Ultraboost 21 after 2 months from buying Ultraboost i was injured. Do you think it could be the Ultraboost the main reason?

Stopped running due to Achilles tendinopathy. After 6 months of intensive physio, my Achilles wasn’t improved. Then went for eswt shock wave therapy. 6 week weekly treatment of that, followed by 6 months of no running and no physio.. my Achilles is a lot better. Overall around 12-18 month treatment cycle to feel healed If you are stuck in a physio cycle for Achilles, try eswt

Hope this works! 😁 Been trying to run for years and I havent been able to complete a full week without ussues. Trying this right now!

Bit late, but the calcaneal tendon (more colloquially known as the achilles tendon) is a fibrous band of tissue which connects muscle to bone. More specifically, it connects muscles such as the gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris. These muscles provide dorsiflexion and plantar flexion action. Which is pointing done (plant) and pointing up (dorsiflexion) from the talocrural joint (ankle). Various phases in walking and running require plantar and dorsi flexion action to various degrees depending on your landing pattern. Most common patterns are rear foot strike, followed by fore foot strike and lastly midfoot strike.
