COMING BACK FROM AN ACHILLES INJURY (FULL RECOVERY JOURNEY) With Workouts And Motivation

In late April 2022 I tore my achilles in a professional basketball game and had to have surgery. In 8.5 months I did rehab and therapy to get my strength and quickness back. Finally in January 2023 all of the hard work paid off and I returned unrestricted back to professional basketball. This video is to help inspire and motivate those who are struggling with an injury and anything in life that you can overcome whatever it is you are going through. And by taking it one day at a time, you can accomplish overcoming your obstacles like I did.
Hope you enjoy!.

Gives me hope as I have an important track and field tryout in about 2 months. I had a sharp pain in my achilles tendon when i did a split squat to sort something out in the floor. I can slowly walk already a day after so thank god it isnt too severe. Thank you for sharing your journey.

@HMtheWaterMan 5 месяцев назад

Awesome video! I'm 7 weeks post op and was truly feeling like i'll never actually run or jump again (the way my calf feels) but you just encouraged me to trust the process and i'm hoping to be dunking again now... again, awesome video and props on the edits yourself!

@reggielynchvlogs 5 месяцев назад

It was a LOT of WORK to make this video!, editing takes forever! The process of coming back takes MUCH longer than my editing skills!, however just like the end to finally making this video, there is an end to the recovery!. Make sure you take it day by day and you’ll be back. Best of luck!.

@elcid9857 4 месяца назад

I broke my tendon on March 12th, during a championship basketball game, I'm 31 years old and I've been playing since I was 4, I'm not a professional but I play at a very good level, I feel like I'll never be able to recover my old-fashioned athletic form, explosiveness, sprint, reflexes, etc. It's a bad injury, I had surgery on March 29th and I'll wear a cast until May 3rd then a brace for I don't know how long. To this day I no longer see an end guys.

@reggielynchvlogs 4 месяца назад

I would advise to find an alternative option to be in a boot rather than a cast for that long. I’m sure your situation is different but I think the sooner you can get that tendon mobile the easier the rest of the path will be.

@elcid9857 3 месяца назад

I was operated on at the best orthopedic hospital in Italy, every athlete is operated on there, Rizzoli Hospital, fortunately I am from the city, so I would have had the surgery there anyway. I was given the walker or cast option, pre-op, but then the surgeon chose the cast and then I will probably wear the brace after the cast.

@arkiballer2654 Год назад

Nice one, we have similat approach. Now I'm on my 10th month and started playing 5v5 after achilles post op.

@yisroelmeirhoffman2581 5 месяцев назад

1 week in and going with non-surgery. So scared I wont get back to basketball or tennis. Thank you for the motivation!

@reggielynchvlogs 5 месяцев назад

Some say no surgery is best route. Me being a professional basketball player, it was my best/only option. Wishing you the best man.

@alwaysreturnNurgirl Месяц назад

How you feeling 4 months into it? How is walking? I'm only 5 days into non surgery as well, and mentally it really takes a lot out of you.

@yisroelmeirhoffman2581 Месяц назад

@alwaysreturnNurgirl doing great! Can't do a single leg calf raises yet but I think that's still normal. One day at a time. Do you have a vacoped? Worth the money imo.

@alwaysreturnNurgirl Месяц назад

@@yisroelmeirhoffman2581 yeah I've seen a ton of videos of people using that boot with good success...how sweaty is it at night? I'm still only in my cast...but when I transition to the boot, I'm wondering if it's better than the cast, or worst to sleep in versus the cast? I'm glad your healing great, and zero set backs! I can't wait to be walking normally again...its miserable being laid up and not able to do anything.

@abigger04 3 месяца назад

Reggie, how much of a gap did you have with your tendon rupture? I just had surgery on mine and I had a 2 cm gap. I’m trying to stay positive about returning to athletics. Thanks for your video.

@reggielynchvlogs 3 месяца назад

Mine actually never fully separated, clean tear without separating, may have saved me a month. Thank you for watching !

@chriskinney5234 Год назад

Amazing story! I’m 3 months post op feeling good. What you do with swelling?

@reggielynchvlogs 11 месяцев назад

luckily I didn't have very much swelling. they say the earlier you take the rehab seriously and rest it properly the less swelling there will be for the rest of the journey. but when the workouts ramp up and you get that swelling icing and resting is really the only way to go about it. hope this helps.

@yisroelmeirhoffman2581 3 месяца назад

Not sure if you remember this but- When were you able to do Single leg calf raises with your left leg?

@reggielynchvlogs 3 месяца назад

I would say somewhere around month 3-4. Not exactly sure but after the boot was off!.

@Tkeyse5 6 месяцев назад

Awesome video, im 4 weeks post op and have had a hard time with nerve pain/cramping in my foot and toes and was wondering if you had the same experience?

@reggielynchvlogs 5 месяцев назад

I did not exactly have that experience, but I would recommend making sure to do as much mobility work as you can. Will help break up scar tissue !

@ohcra 4 месяца назад

Did they tell you why it happened initially or did you have an injury before, not stretching that muscle or something? Or just out of the blue?

@reggielynchvlogs 4 месяца назад

The movement I made that tore it is something I’ve done thousands of times, just a Freak accident. It’s a movement I’m even making now post surgery!.

@ricardoomarzenozainmoreno3737 4 месяца назад

Hi, since what month did you stop feeling pain?

@reggielynchvlogs 4 месяца назад

Pain went away basically after month 3 in terms of the scarring. But I’m sure if I rushed back pain would return. The idea is to not feel pain, and only feel the Achilles strengthening!.
