💥 Achilles tendinosis rehab 💥

😬 I’ve recently been struggling with my Achilles tendon due to training overload. I thought I’d share what the rehab process looks like for an achilles injury!

😭 I had too much of a relaxing off season and now the football pre season has stressed my Achilles to much, leading to injury!

🏋 As a result, I’ve had to manage my Achilles load and begin strengthening the tendon. Looking to improve the tensile strength of the tendon, therefore it can cope with greater demands of load.

Exercises such as the ones in this post have been made my daily bible to try and recover from injury.

- loaded calf raises
- assisted pogo jumps
- running man calf raises
- explosive drop jumps

If you’d like to know any more information about this rehab process, get in touch 🙌

🦶 Achilles Tendinopathy 🦶

🧠 The Achilles tendon is based on the back of the leg and attaches the calf muscles to the heel of the foot.

💪 The posterior calf muscles are powerful players in walking, running and jumping. When an increase in training load occurs, these calf muscles translate lots of pressure into the Achilles tendon.

🤕 When the Achilles tendon is overworked with little recovery, it can become irritable. This creating the beginning of an Achilles Tendinopathy.

This may present:
- As a thickened tendon
- Tender to touch
- Painful with walking, running or jumping
- Stiffness, especially with prolonged periods of inactivity

😡 These are tricky pathologies to stimulate recovery and require specific exercises to improve. Otherwise can quite frustrating to work with!
