Here we are at week 14 post Achilles tendon rupture and going well. The tendon is now healed and only becoming stronger and more mobile every week. Fortunately this patient is very good at doing his exercises, with a dose of daily stationary bike which helps this process immensely. The best gains can be made with simple consistency.
This week the mobility, strengthening and stability exercises progress to:
1. Gastroc (long calf) stretches on step
2. Soleus (short calf) stretches on chair
3. Eccentric Calf Raise (aim for greater than 75% load)
4. Eccentric soleus calf raise
5. Tibialis anterior raises
6. One leg balance of a BOSU
7. Star excursion test advanced compass
At this stage the program is also filled with Body-weight squats, Lunges - careful with these on the back foot, light romanian deadlifts light, single leg step downs and one leg ball squats.
Lots to do - get cracking but always stay cautious in this month.
PLUS! My New Achilles Injury + Surgery Rehab Program is coming soon - stay tuned to physiorehab.com!

Ruptured my Achilles in June and it’s by far the worst injury I’ve ever had. The recovery is still a work in progress and frustrating because as an athlete I want to move around freely and get back to working out but patience is truly the key to recovery. Also, pay attention to your diet, vitamins and supplements while in a cast to help recover and strengthen for the actual physical therapy once is begins.

Fell from a small step on the 12th of september. Went to the hospital straight away...no injuries noticed on pictures. Went back yesterday for an echo of my achilles. Full rupture. 3 months recovery to start...not allowed to drive in car, etc...I was aiming for a huge hike in march/april '24 What a huge huge bummer....

Thanks for the video Tim- I am on my 14th week of recovery ( non-surgical ) and have been doing similiar excercises with my physio. Scariest thing is walking downstairs so will do the exercises shown for that. The hardest part for me as a dancer who has always been very active is having the patience. The best part is having physiotherapsts helping through the rehabilitation stage and most importantly receiving the reassurance from them that I will recover. Keep up the good work and wishing your brother in law all the best, Jane ( Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

@tripledoublemedia9119 2 года назад

I play tons of soccer and basketball and not very good about stretching, my body is pretty tight and I’m used to playing through pains here and there. I wondered why just my right calf lost so much muscle tone the past couple years but didn’t really care about it and played on with no pain except for when isolating that muscle. This series has explained why when I tried to do a single leg calf raise, I felt pain in my Achilles. So grateful mine must not be that bad since my right Achilles is the same thinnes as my left one and I don’t have much pain at all. I’m going to try and strengthen my right calf since I assume I’m past the healing phase - it must’ve healed on its own over the past two years since I have virtually no pain :)

@physiorehab 2 года назад

Sounds like you need to get on top of your strengthening yes

@Polymath418 9 месяцев назад

I had achilles tendon rupture back in mid July during a basketball match with my son. I decided to use TCM to treat, essentially to use acupuncture to stimulate the neurons which will lead the torn tendons to move together, the whole process takes 1 month to see the tendons reconnect, 2 months to feel walking with more strength. Now, i'm turning to rehab experts to help me regain full strength. Anyhow, my point is that surgery is painful and a lengthy recovery process following the suit...

@@physiorehab I injured my rotator cuff in my throwing arm about 23 years ago playing baseball, & never had proper therapy to treat it. The pain comes and goes and Ive accommodated my neck/chest exercises accordingly over the years, but after all the at home treatments Ive tried in the past I decided to now try red/NIR light treatment at home. I bought one and used it today for the 1st time and found about 60-70% relief. It may be temporary, or I may be able to build on that healing. My question is: In an IDEAL world, is there a point of TOO many treatments per week? If it were up to me I would/could do 1-20min treatment per day, but is this better than a different timetable? Less..more...? Thanks!

Really can’t express how grateful I am for your work! Visibly your brother-in-law is getting better every video! I’m not there yet….my concern is that both Achilles had a total rupture in different stages of my life. Right one repaired surgically back in 2010 and now the left (non-op /conservative route)…. I’m hoping I will be able to walk normally and dance again, at least, because “weekend soccer’ became my nemesis … twice in my life due to chronic tendinosis…. BTW…Is there a cure for that? Will I ever be able to run after a bus for instance without fear of injury? With your program, I think so. Thank you very much again and sorry for the lengthy comment. 🙏

The description you gave of the popping noise and feeling as though you have been kicked was exactly how mine happened playing football/soccer.

Quick question, are there any particular foods or supplements that would beneficial to aiding the recovery? Much appreciated... Mike

Hey Tim, I had my achilles tendon ruptured two days ago, am now in a cast since today and have to decide whether to go for surgery or not tomorrow. My doctor told me that getting surgery or not is a personal preference kinda thing, however I have noticed you mention your brother in laws 1.5 cm tear being suitable for surgery. Is the size of the tear really very relevent to whether to get the surgery or not? Since my doctor did not tell me the size of the gap, simply concluded the diagnosis based on an echo and the squeeze test. Kinda worried that I am not getting the right treatment/info

Hi there! 13 weeks ago I had a surgery after a complete rupture. I have started the rehab and my leg was getting stronger and stronger. However in the past 5 days I have started to feel sharp pain while Im doing exercises. I had to stop to do the therapy and nobody knows what is this exactly. My therapist says I have to wait until the pain disappears. However my doctor says that it is okay and I can continue the therapy without rest because it is not sore. Now I dont know what should I do and I dont know how can I do the best for my achilles. I really want to continue the therapy, but I dont want to make more harm. Could you please help me? I feel the sharp pain only if I start to do exercise with it. It is coming from one point of the achilles tendon close to the area where the surgery has happened.

I cut my achilles 3 weeks ago when I fell off a ladder, mine is unusual as an Achilles injury as it was physically cut through about 80% of the way rather than popped through excess force. Because I was already cut open and they didn't know the extent of the damage they did surgery and stitched it back together. In a cast for another 3 weeks then in a boot for 6 weeks after that. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon after 🤞
