Just came back to this vid. About 9 months ago my Achilles was painful and restricted my movement. I did the massage and stretch recommended by you and the exercises demonstrated and within 2 weeks my pain was gone! Just had a flare up so I’m back for more! Thank you!!
Hey! How ya doing with this? The only thing I added was to wrap it. I also had/have the bursa problem so I wrap the ankle and foot and try to isolate the ankle. Pain reduces 60 to 70 percent right away and I can do the exercises the next day. Wrapping videos are on YT. Hope this helps, or maybe to someone you can pass it along to. The bursa sac problem shows up under the heel. I did all this by overstretching the Planters faciitis. Dumb as effe, I know. But if it helps you or someone else, that's a small price to pay. Same thing if you get shoulder inflammation. Stretching worked, but overstretching set my traps on fire. Hey, ya help where ya can, right. It's a small club, with lousy membership requirements. Best wishes, ok!
This was the perfect video for me. I’ve had Achilles Tendinitis for 10 months, went to 2 different doctors & 2 different PT & none of them gave me any guidance on gradual stretches & strengthening for at home care. I’m still in disbelief of the way it was handled. I get all my rehab instructions from UA-cam. Sad but true. The bright side is I’m not paying a co-pay! Thank you for this well presented rehab information routine. I’m looking forward to returning to my hiking, walking & exercise classes again! It’s been too long!

Could you make a video on posture and breathing? I have an anterior pelvic tilt and noticed (this past week) that it's significantly easier to take a deep breath with good posture. I also have chronic hyperventilation syndrome along with general anxiety so im sure a video like this would help many. On a side note, thanks for the channel! Although I've just recently discovered your channel, you've been super helpful. Thanks again!
I started foam rolling watching your calf stretch video and continued to do what you recommended in this one.. they we’re all very helpful and I can tell the pain difference already! Thanks!
This is as clear and effective as it gets! I'm 2 weeks into this programme and the decrease in pain and my range of motion has changed dramatically. Big thanks from the UK!
True story: ive had this problem for bout 3 wks, i was limping for the last 2 wks came across this video. I was trying other exercises/remedies from off the tube for these 3 wks. to keep story short I stopped limping in 2 days, still sore but walking normal. The roller and massage was the ticket.

Hang in there man its gonna be worth it... and dont stop too soon, keep doing in for at least a few weeks... even if everything is feeling fine. Also take it easy during training for a while.
@@creepypastors a year??? I don't think I can last that long :( I got tendinitis on Monday (2 days ago), can almost walk again. Gonna do these exercises, hoping to be back training in a few weeks tbh...
@@chimyshark I ran a marathon a month ago and got this Achilles tendinitis for the first time. I’ve wrapped my ankle and done all these exercises for just about a month and I’ve now returned to the gym but haven’t started running again yet. Zero pain but a little stiff in the morning! I think a year is a bit of a “stretch” you should be able to return to training depending on the severity of your condition. Consistency is key so keep stretching and doing these exercises even when it feels better. Good luck !
I can’t Thank You enough for this awesome information & education! I’ve been dealing with heel pain for a few months now, with no improvement after utilizing tips from other professionals. I performed the exercises in this video, along with your calf muscle stretches last night. My pain level went from a 10/10 to 1/10 in one night! I can finally walk around the house without shoes! Amazing 🤩
About 3 months ago, I sprained my ankle along with breaking a bone somewhere in there. After viewing the xrays, my doctor informed me I also injured my achilles tendon.

I will be using your exercises to help strengthen both the ankle and achilles.
Do you remember how long did it take you to fully heal ? i have almost a similar situation to yours ! if you can give me some details i would really appreciate it
I'm in my mid 50s and started running. I developed Achilles tendinitis, and started resting, anti-inflammatory, and ice. This video was more detailed and included a lot more exercises than any of the others that I found. I've started following these steps and it's really helping. Thank you for the time and the video.

Btw, Did I congratulate you on your 200k?? OMG, I just realized you are going towards your 300K!!! This is what hard work reward looks like. Good job, Jared!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
I just want to say thank you once again ,I had knee problem ,I did what u advised my knee problem was solved from that day until now ,had archills tendon that was bothering me for a while rested from running on and off yesterday I watched this video, I felt like a knot has been undone,woke up managed to run 13km/8.07miles. I cannot thank you enough, so grateful for ur videos 💓 thank u, thank u,thank u
I think it's important to differentiate between insertional and mid cord tendinopathies. The strengthening exercises at the end of the video that allows the heel to drop below horizontal will often exacerbate insertional tendinopathies.
@@reubenkotey3239 insertional Achilles tendonitis is further down, closer to the bottom of the heel area. If you have insertional tendonitis as opposed to the classic midpoint, rather than doing the calf raises at the edge of step, you should do them with your feet flat on the floor. Doing them off of a step will on make it worse in the long run.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a long time runner, and my legs have been injured several times. My Achilles have been a problem recently, and your exercises are the best group I've seen. I will continue using them.
It's been a month for me now since i have achilles tendonitis injury, some of my football coaches telling me to go to a hospital and have a surgery, but i'm just too scared, So now I'm struggling in every of my football practices. But thankfully i found this video today that these exercises could cure this injury. Thank you Man!
oooh yes! This is a video that is going straight to the special treasure cove! I had to stop running about three years ago because of an acute Achilles tendinitis which I still carry on to this day (2cm bump in the left side). So, HUGE THANKS for making this video, because physical therapy here in Spain can only go so far. Blessings a plenty to you and your beautiful loved ones!!!
My tendon felt 100% after doing these exercises. Thank you. I have plantar fasciitis on right foot and now this Achilles tendinitis on my left foot! Very frustrating! Thanks
Awesome video! I've been dealing with Achilles tendon soreness for months now. I started these exercises yesterday, and I noticed tremendous improvements within a day. I definitely plan to incorporate these exercises into my daily routine. Thanks for sharing, Doc! :)
Between doing the recommended exercises, modifying my workout routine, and getting proper rest to avoid stress injuries, I'm doing much better. Thanks! :)
@@timhawkins2682 what exercises do you do exactly ? Ive been dealing with tendinosis for almost a year now and despite 3 months of kinesitheraphy it came back...
Just found your video. Been dealing with this for quite a while now (understatement). My doc has given me two rounds of steroids, band aid, pain went away… then came back. I will update with my results.
I started doing the cross friction massage about 6 weeks ago when I stumbled upon your video here and I’ve felt weekly improvements and have been able to keep running (with a lot of walking). I started feeling more improvements within the last week or so by adding in dorsiflexion PAILs/RAILs exercises and am close to being totally pain-free. Thanks for posting this!
Ruptured my achilles and using some of these exercises in my long journey to walking without a limp. I'm 11 weeks out and taking the nonsurgical route. My main issue that I run into is endurance, I expect it to be significantly weaker than the other leg but I usually walk everywhere
I pulled my achilles about 5 months ago playing soccer. I needed to be very patient and at times it was very frustrating. I continued to do all the recommended exercises and went back playing last night. All the patient work paid off as I had no problems. Oh, and I'm 47 :-)
I’ve had this problem for 10+ years. I quit training for a marathon because of it. For me, only hiking and isometric exercises work. I did JMT and Whitney successfully. And live in 1 story house. I am essentially cured.
I have had this for over 2 years. I just discovered this video. I hope these exercises work for me. Right now, I have my foot wrapped up, like another video suggested. I will try these exercises later today.
Very helpful, thank you! I recently started taking spin classes, and I injured my Achilles the other day.. the massage alone has helped relieve some pain, and I’ll be sure to ice later. Thanks again!
High school football player And I’ve had this problem for a week and a few days and I’ve been doing this for the past few days and my experience was great!! Back to sitting kids on their behinds and dominating 😃! 😂 thanks bro ! (Oh and I subscribed !
Dude, thanks from India, I had this numbing pain for 3 months, couldn’t play tennis, after trying for a day I see an improvement already. Thanks much appreciated, drink on me when you are in India 👍
This is awesome, thanks so much! A few questions: when it’s still tendinitis (not tendinosis), how much do these exercises help v. how much should one just do the rest/ice/anti-inflammatoires/stretching? Also, among those four tendinitis treatments, how important is it to rest at all costs, and how much can you keep training and be careful with the rest? I’m on a through hike right now and would love more than anything to keep hiking, even if more slowly.
Excellent instructional video!! Chronic L achilles tendinosis x 3 months, asymptomatic after completing your tx plan x 2 weeks. Completed 5k today, gigantic thank you!!
I've had this pain for about 2 or more years now and it comes and goes but flares up real bad especially at night and in the mornings when I get into regular running routines daily. Just starting with the different heel pumping stretches is helping me already. I've been misdiagnosed with plantar fasicitis multiple times
I've gone through a great deal of P.T.,and you have given me more helpful information in just these few minutes. I finally feel that I have some exercises that can actually help with some progress. Many thanks.
I tore my achillies tendon 2 months ago, I have began following your exercises and I already am starting to improve slowly but surely, how long until I can run again (roughly)
A rupture requires surgery, I was advised not to go down that route.. Suffered injury 6 months ago, I stíl cannot run but I can now walk pain free, hoping to get jogging in 6 weeks following physios advice recently.. Any tips for me? I'm desperate to return to running and sport after lockdown
I’m not a runner but I’m on my feet a lot for my work and I’m over weight. I can’t weigh bare on my right foot at the moment I’m in extreme pain, I have been doing some gentle exercises, but after watching this I have learnt more to help me. Thank you 😊
Thank you Dr. Jared! This is the most comprehensive list of stretches and remedies I have found for treating Achilles tendinitis. I often lose circulation to my feet after running a few miles due to tight calves and Achilles, and these will help tremendously in my pre-run stretching and post-run recovery routines. Thanks for linking the calf video and other recommended videos of related muscle groups, it was also very helpful. Keep up the good work!!
Seated calf raises, ankle inversion/ eversion with resistance band, isometric calf raise with bend in knee have helped me. Check out James Dunne's video on insertional achilles rehab.
After nearly a year of doing slightly personalized versions of these wall and step exercises, my chronic achilles tendonitis finally disappeared. I've been totally pain-free for 16 months now, and continue the exercises daily as a precaution. My own POV: I see the eccentric exercises not as exercises for healing, but rather for strengthening, and I think that anyone with really severe achilles tendonitis should be extra careful with them, because if you take them on when you're still in pain you risk ending up at square one, which happened to me.
So true. Since I started building up muscles at my legs and especially feet’s my problems are getting less and lesser. Stretching on the one side , strength on the other side.
Thanks for the video. I might have injured my left achille tendon by either doing the cardio jumping jack, scissor foot or on the elliptical without shoes. Can I still continue doing squats and planks? How able back on the ecliptical with shoes? Just no jumping exercises.
I've had pain in my heel, tendon area and some in calf area for a couple of months now. The pain is only felt when I start walking. After 1k steps it gets worse. But if I don't walk for a full day, there is no pain. The pandemic had forced me to a very sedentary life. Now I can't even walk past 20 mins.
I'm going to school to become a Physical Therapist. I love your videos, you are inspiring. I want to give back and and help those who may not be able to afford to go to PT. also it is important for those reading this comment, tight calves and leg muscles can cause stress on the Achilles tendon. Foam roll your kinetic chain and relax your tight plantar fascia. hope this helps.
Thank you. A great video, where you make it really clear, what works and doesn’t. I’ve been suffering with Achilles pain since January-I’ve read a lot, and watched a lot of videos on UA-cam. This is the best! A really clear explanation about what I should be doing. I’ll be following your program for the next few weeks, then hopefully back to running. One question, opinion seems to be divided about a moderate amount of running, With minimal pain, what are your views?
Thanks for these exercises. I’m in the early stage- with ice and Advil, would some of the stretching and foam roller exercises help or further irritate? Also, do I have to stop running entirely until the pain recedes? I can run through the pain now.
both of my Achilles have big bumps the size of my thumb. been like this for years , my doc. told me there is nothing to do . i work on my feet all day . and workout heavey EX. 900-1000 LBS on the leg press. 400-600 lbs calves.
That's amazing, Richard! The bumps are an accumulation of scar tissue... if you spend some time daily with cross friction massage and foam rolling it will help to break some of that up. Also, you might consider dropping weight on your calf raises and start to introduce more focused eccentric work. Hope that helps you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you thank you for these great tips and exercises for achilles problems. I've never had problems until a week ago of which I don't know how it happened. These exercises/stretches have helped sooo much!!! Thank you for your expertise !!
you will have to. According to your goals you will need to build up slowly up to between half and twice your bodyweight (sprinters, jumpers). Kettlebells and backpacks are practical up to a point, then you will need barbells;
WAs running 5 miles a day, then gradually my right A. tendon was so sore I could hardly walk. I walked with a limp for 3 or 4 days as I of course stopped the running. It's been 9 months, no running and it's still sore in the mornings and I limp a bit for the first 5 mins out of bed then it's fine. I"ve not started running again and massage my A. Tendon aggressively and still is only a little better and now I"m fat. I'll start doing the exercises you demonstrated here but I'm pretty frustrated and am about to start running again as I might as well be in shape since I'm going to be sore anyway.
I suggest do what i did, switch to classic strenght workouts and cardio designed for heel injuries. You can find it all on YT. I know how frustrating it is, but there are options out there, just dont do stuff that will inflame the tendon again..i know its tempting :(
@@ludwigvonn9889 can send me to, or direct me to what you did ? I"m fat now and all messed up and it's been over a year and STILL sore in the AMs.... I'm literally going to start running again since at leaset I wont be fat (and still sore).
Im required to do.....some crazy things in various parts of the middle East and not being able to run and be active, let's just say, is a very very bad spot to be in...
Thank you. I'm a 64 yr old female and was laying a flagstone sidewalk back in April...one of the 24x36 slabs fell over hitting my achilles. I've had the discomfort you described - pain in the AM - ok after a couple hours moving around. I did the routine for the first time this morning and the tendon area feels seriously really good right away! Very helpful video - Did see my doctor recently who suggested PT - I will continue till my follow up. Thank you again!
I have chronic achilles tendonitis off and on x 2 years from extreme trekking. I have pain every day and have been to 2 orthopedic PT's, tried some of these exercise therapies, have seen 2 Orthopedic surgeons. xrays, MRI shows healthy foot but some achilles & talus tendon tearing - I wore a boot to destabelize for 9 weeks/no help. Now taking a 3-week break to see what is next. Considering stem cell injection but concerned that it would create scar tissue at the injection site so ... everyone says it takes a very long time to get better so I will commit to these exercises hoping and praying that they work... I can't wait to get back up on those mountains!
Backward and forward non banded sleds then banded sleds and flex band very tight around ankle and foot then do knees over toes guy exercises with the dumbbell while lay on stomach sides and back add a resistance band as well
This video is awesome, had acchlias tendonnis about 4 months ago, then felt like it was better but then did muai thai training yesterday and felt something hurt, this videos helped alot. And the best part is this videos free unlike the physio, hahah thanks for the help man!
whenever I’m sitting (not all the time but a good bit of the time) I’m able to pull back on my toes and stretch out but when I do many times on both legs I feel a and her what sounds like a crack like the releasing of pressure in ones back or hip. It doesn’t hurt and I never thought it to be bad in fact thought it might be a good thing that I could be releasing pressure. I’m not sure if other experience this but if so, is it a bad thing ? Should I stop and get it looked at it ?
Thank you very much. Wrapped it cuz walking was impossible, but the next day, i could bear the exercises. Everything worked well. Thank you and best wishes to you and yours. I already sunscribed. I knew your video was gonna be spot on!

@@reubenkotey3239 insertional Achilles tendonitis is further down, closer to the bottom of the heel area. If you have insertional tendonitis as opposed to the classic midpoint, rather than doing the calf raises at the edge of step, you should do them with your feet flat on the floor. Doing them off of a step will on make it worse in the long run.
@@raspberrybee appreciate it gangy
Agree
15 days since I began playing badminton, got myself Achilles tendonitis ..thank you ,hope I don't need to quit playing.
Heyyy.... Please reply
R u ok now???? 🥲🥲
I m suffering from this 🥺🥺
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a long time runner, and my legs have been injured several times. My Achilles have been a problem recently, and your exercises are the best group I've seen. I will continue using them.
Oh, wonderful news! You are welcome and I am so glad these have helped you!
It's been a month for me now since i have achilles tendonitis injury, some of my football coaches telling me to go to a hospital and have a surgery, but i'm just too scared, So now I'm struggling in every of my football practices. But thankfully i found this video today that these exercises could cure this injury. Thank you Man!
You are welcome, Eye ken! I hope these help in your recovery!
As long as it doesn’t seem ruptured surgery isn’t required. These coaches think we made of money or sumthin
oooh yes! This is a video that is going straight to the special treasure cove! I had to stop running about three years ago because of an acute Achilles tendinitis which I still carry on to this day (2cm bump in the left side). So, HUGE THANKS for making this video, because physical therapy here in Spain can only go so far. Blessings a plenty to you and your beautiful loved ones!!!
You are so welcome! I really hope it helps you!
Physio is spain is terrible!!
My tendon felt 100% after doing these exercises. Thank you. I have plantar fasciitis on right foot and now this Achilles tendinitis on my left foot! Very frustrating! Thanks
Wonderful news! You are so welcome!
Great Video mate. Had Achilles soreness for 3 weeks and got instant relief from these exercises. Much appreciated
Great to hear and you are welcome!
Can you tell how it is now? I have also had it for 3 weeks and would appreciate a daily/weekly guide.
What a service to the public. So many of us, with fixed incomes, hugely benefit from posts like this. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Awesome video! I've been dealing with Achilles tendon soreness for months now. I started these exercises yesterday, and I noticed tremendous improvements within a day. I definitely plan to incorporate these exercises into my daily routine. Thanks for sharing, Doc! :)
You are welcome! I am glad you are finding it helpful!
Thank God 🙏🏿
How is it doing now ?
Between doing the recommended exercises, modifying my workout routine, and getting proper rest to avoid stress injuries, I'm doing much better. Thanks! :)
@@timhawkins2682 what exercises do you do exactly ? Ive been dealing with tendinosis for almost a year now and despite 3 months of kinesitheraphy it came back...
Just found your video. Been dealing with this for quite a while now (understatement). My doc has given me two rounds of steroids, band aid, pain went away… then came back. I will update with my results.
I hope these exercises are just what you need, Mellow Dramatic!
Thanks for sharing Doc.
Any suggestions for insertional Achilles pain?
I started doing the cross friction massage about 6 weeks ago when I stumbled upon your video here and I’ve felt weekly improvements and have been able to keep running (with a lot of walking). I started feeling more improvements within the last week or so by adding in dorsiflexion PAILs/RAILs exercises and am close to being totally pain-free. Thanks for posting this!
Hi what is PAIL/RAIL exercises?
Ruptured my achilles and using some of these exercises in my long journey to walking without a limp. I'm 11 weeks out and taking the nonsurgical route. My main issue that I run into is endurance, I expect it to be significantly weaker than the other leg but I usually walk everywhere
Good luck in your recovery, Slim Duncan! I hope these exercises are helpful!
I pulled my achilles about 5 months ago playing soccer.
I needed to be very patient and at times it was very frustrating.
I continued to do all the recommended exercises and went back playing last night.
All the patient work paid off as I had no problems.
Oh, and I'm 47 :-)
That is great to hear! Thanks for sharing.
This is the very best video I’ve seen since I’ve had this issue for 6 months now 😢. Can’t wait to start tomboy. Thank you!!
Tomorrow not tomboy! Lol
Wonderful, Rhonda! I hope it helps!
Thank you for simplifying the exercises in a great way!
You're so welcome!
I’ve had this problem for 10+ years. I quit training for a marathon because of it. For me, only hiking and isometric exercises work. I did JMT and Whitney successfully. And live in 1 story house. I am essentially cured.
Thanks, this gives me some more motivation. I’ve been dealing with my pain for almost 2yrs
I have had this for over 2 years. I just discovered this video. I hope these exercises work for me. Right now, I have my foot wrapped up, like another video suggested. I will try these exercises later today.
Best of luck!
@@toneandtighten thanks!
@@cherrie4444 Did it help?
@dannijohansen7508 No, it made it worse, here it is a year later and I still have tendonitis in my left ankle😒
@@cherrie4444 Sorry to hear. I hope you find a solution
Very helpful, thank you! I recently started taking spin classes, and I injured my Achilles the other day.. the massage alone has helped relieve some pain, and I’ll be sure to ice later. Thanks again!

Thank you for spreading the love and knowledge. Here's a comment for encouragement 🎉
I appreciate that!

And I’ve had this problem for a week and a few days and I’ve been doing this for the past few days and my experience was great!! Back to sitting kids on their behinds and dominating 😃! 😂 thanks bro ! (Oh and I subscribed !
That is great! I am so glad these exercises have helped you so much!
Dude, thanks from India, I had this numbing pain for 3 months, couldn’t play tennis, after trying for a day I see an improvement already. Thanks much appreciated, drink on me when you are in India 👍
You are very welcome! I am so glad these exercises were helpful for you!
This is awesome, thanks so much!
A few questions: when it’s still tendinitis (not tendinosis), how much do these exercises help v. how much should one just do the rest/ice/anti-inflammatoires/stretching? Also, among those four tendinitis treatments, how important is it to rest at all costs, and how much can you keep training and be careful with the rest?
I’m on a through hike right now and would love more than anything to keep hiking, even if more slowly.
any answers to this? i have the same q
Great question, following.
Excellent instructional video!! Chronic L achilles tendinosis x 3 months, asymptomatic after completing your tx plan x 2 weeks. Completed 5k today, gigantic thank you!!
Awesome to hear! I am glad you are feeling better!
I've had this pain for about 2 or more years now and it comes and goes but flares up real bad especially at night and in the mornings when I get into regular running routines daily. Just starting with the different heel pumping stretches is helping me already. I've been misdiagnosed with plantar fasicitis multiple times
I am glad these exercises are helping, Ceezy! Thanks for sharing!
Do you still have tendinitis?
Thank you sir for this interesting video 😍I surely try these exercise ☺️
You are welcome, Paras Fatima! I hope you find them helpful!
I've gone through a great deal of P.T.,and you have given me more helpful information in just these few minutes. I finally feel that I have some exercises that can actually help with some progress. Many thanks.
You are so welcome!
I tore my achillies tendon 2 months ago, I have began following your exercises and I already am starting to improve slowly but surely, how long until I can run again (roughly)
Doesnt that require surgery?
A rupture requires surgery, I was advised not to go down that route.. Suffered injury 6 months ago, I stíl cannot run but I can now walk pain free, hoping to get jogging in 6 weeks following physios advice recently.. Any tips for me? I'm desperate to return to running and sport after lockdown
I’m not a runner but I’m on my feet a lot for my work and I’m over weight. I can’t weigh bare on my right foot at the moment I’m in extreme pain, I have been doing some gentle exercises, but after watching this I have learnt more to help me. Thank you 😊
You are welcome!
Thank you Dr. Jared! This is the most comprehensive list of stretches and remedies I have found for treating Achilles tendinitis. I often lose circulation to my feet after running a few miles due to tight calves and Achilles, and these will help tremendously in my pre-run stretching and post-run recovery routines. Thanks for linking the calf video and other recommended videos of related muscle groups, it was also very helpful. Keep up the good work!!
You're very welcome! I am so glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your video I've been struggling with my Achilles tendonitis for 2 months now and pound this video can help me out of this.
Glad it helped!
In my fifties, just started running and have some Achilles pain. Great advice, thank you.
Happy to help!
Good old man, do well.
Thank you that has really helped a recurring problem, which impacted my walking.
You're very welcome!

This is what I needed, been having this pain a while. Thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼
You are welcome, Maxine! I hope these exercises help you out and thanks for commenting!
@@toneandtighten also,sometime numbness and tingling on my foot. Is it part of symptom?
I’ve been suffering for months !!! I ve already noticed considerable improvement after just a few days. I can walk without limping again!
That is wonderful news! So glad you found these helpful.
I feel like I should get an award mine has only been hurting 1 week! 😂
Heyy
R u ok now
Please reply🥺🥺
Any specific exercises for tendinosis at insertion of the calcaneus? Great video!!
Seated calf raises, ankle inversion/ eversion with resistance band, isometric calf raise with bend in knee have helped me. Check out James Dunne's video on insertional achilles rehab.
After nearly a year of doing slightly personalized versions of these wall and step exercises, my chronic achilles tendonitis finally disappeared. I've been totally pain-free for 16 months now, and continue the exercises daily as a precaution. My own POV: I see the eccentric exercises not as exercises for healing, but rather for strengthening, and I think that anyone with really severe achilles tendonitis should be extra careful with them, because if you take them on when you're still in pain you risk ending up at square one, which happened to me.
So true. Since I started building up muscles at my legs and especially feet’s my problems are getting less and lesser. Stretching on the one side , strength on the other side.
Thanks for the video. I might have injured my left achille tendon by either doing the cardio jumping jack, scissor foot or on the elliptical without shoes. Can I still continue doing squats and planks? How able back on the ecliptical with shoes? Just no jumping exercises.
Thanks very much for this video, I was scared I could not run again, but now I have relief.
You are so welcome, Esse Paul! I am glad this helped and thanks for sharing!
I've had pain in my heel, tendon area and some in calf area for a couple of months now. The pain is only felt when I start walking. After 1k steps it gets worse. But if I don't walk for a full day, there is no pain. The pandemic had forced me to a very sedentary life. Now I can't even walk past 20 mins.
Hello its been 2 months has it healed?
Have the same issue. It’s awful, you can’t do any active sport, as it aches
I'm going to school to become a Physical Therapist. I love your videos, you are inspiring. I want to give back and and help those who may not be able to afford to go to PT. also it is important for those reading this comment, tight calves and leg muscles can cause stress on the Achilles tendon. Foam roll your kinetic chain and relax your tight plantar fascia. hope this helps.
Thanks for your comment and good luck!
I will try these! I have an Achilles bursa is this a good therapy for bursa?
Excellent advice ,I’ve had this problem for months and now it’s almost gone with these exercises !!
Wonderful news, des topps! I am so glad it helped and thanks for sharing!
Thank you. A great video, where you make it really clear, what works and doesn’t. I’ve been suffering with Achilles pain since January-I’ve read a lot, and watched a lot of videos on UA-cam. This is the best! A really clear explanation about what I should be doing. I’ll be following your program for the next few weeks, then hopefully back to running. One question, opinion seems to be divided about a moderate amount of running, With minimal pain, what are your views?
Thank you very much! You are a very good presenter. All the best!
You are very welcome! I hope this helps!
Thanks for these exercises. I’m in the early stage- with ice and Advil, would some of the stretching and foam roller exercises help or further irritate? Also, do I have to stop running entirely until the pain recedes? I can run through the pain now.
Oh man would I say don’t run through the pain or you maybe feeling more pain latter.
thanks doc i feel better now it help mprove my tendonitis
My pleasure!
both of my Achilles have big bumps the size of my thumb. been like this for years , my doc. told me there is nothing to do . i work on my feet all day . and workout heavey EX. 900-1000 LBS on the leg press. 400-600 lbs calves.
That's amazing, Richard! The bumps are an accumulation of scar tissue... if you spend some time daily with cross friction massage and foam rolling it will help to break some of that up. Also, you might consider dropping weight on your calf raises and start to introduce more focused eccentric work. Hope that helps you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you thank you for these great tips and exercises for achilles problems. I've never had problems until a week ago of which I don't know how it happened. These exercises/stretches have helped sooo much!!! Thank you for your expertise !!
Happy to help!
Hi. Thanx for the video. Can I add weight the eccentric calf raise if its too easy?
you will have to. According to your goals you will need to build up slowly up to between half and twice your bodyweight (sprinters, jumpers). Kettlebells and backpacks are practical up to a point, then you will need barbells;
Thank you. This is incredibly helpful to me.
Glad it was helpful!
WAs running 5 miles a day, then gradually my right A. tendon was so sore I could hardly walk. I walked with a limp for 3 or 4 days as I of course stopped the running. It's been 9 months, no running and it's still sore in the mornings and I limp a bit for the first 5 mins out of bed then it's fine. I"ve not started running again and massage my A. Tendon aggressively and still is only a little better and now I"m fat. I'll start doing the exercises you demonstrated here but I'm pretty frustrated and am about to start running again as I might as well be in shape since I'm going to be sore anyway.
I am sorry to hear about your struggle, K EE. I hope these exercises help!
I suggest do what i did, switch to classic strenght workouts and cardio designed for heel injuries. You can find it all on YT. I know how frustrating it is, but there are options out there, just dont do stuff that will inflame the tendon again..i know its tempting :(
@@ludwigvonn9889 can send me to, or direct me to what you did ? I"m fat now and all messed up and it's been over a year and STILL sore in the AMs.... I'm literally going to start running again since at leaset I wont be fat (and still sore).
Im required to do.....some crazy things in various parts of the middle East and not being able to run and be active, let's just say, is a very very bad spot to be in...
Thank you. I'm a 64 yr old female and was laying a flagstone sidewalk back in April...one of the 24x36 slabs fell over hitting my achilles. I've had the discomfort you described - pain in the AM - ok after a couple hours moving around. I did the routine for the first time this morning and the tendon area feels seriously really good right away! Very helpful video - Did see my doctor recently who suggested PT - I will continue till my follow up. Thank you again!
You are welcome! I hope you feel better soon!
I have an insertional tendonitis for almost 3 years now and i can't fix it. Do these exercises work for the insertion too or only for the mid portion?
Try wearing low drop shoes for insertionally. Midpoint achilles issues wear high drop shoes
very well explained and demonstrated thank you. Starting now
Glad it was helpful!
"2 weeks" - makes me laugh - I have it for 45 YEARS!
I had it for 2 days in my right leg and hardly walk now I am free of it, I used some herbal medicine that really worked for me.
How did you develop it
I've had it for 3 months. I can't imagine 1 year much less 45!!
@@joshuaortiz4958 tendinitis is mostly acute. if there's pain for a while it's most likely tendinopathy or tendinosis
Man that part got me lol. Like 2 weeks man. I've had it for 13 years now. Only getting worse
I have chronic achilles tendonitis off and on x 2 years from extreme trekking. I have pain every day and have been to 2 orthopedic PT's, tried some of these exercise therapies, have seen 2 Orthopedic surgeons. xrays, MRI shows healthy foot but some achilles & talus tendon tearing - I wore a boot to destabelize for 9 weeks/no help. Now taking a 3-week break to see what is next. Considering stem cell injection but concerned that it would create scar tissue at the injection site so ... everyone says it takes a very long time
to get better so I will commit to these exercises hoping and praying that they work... I can't wait to get back up on those mountains!
How is it now?can u update?
I've had pain for 8 months. It just won't ease up. What can I do!?
same
Thank you I’m gonna try these. I popped my Achilles and was diagnosed with the tendinitis so this should help a lot!
Best of luck!
What if the pain is where the Achilles is connected to the heal bone?
You might want to get an x-ray, because you could have a stress fracture or something
Backward and forward non banded sleds then banded sleds and flex band very tight around ankle and foot then do knees over toes guy exercises with the dumbbell while lay on stomach sides and back add a resistance band as well
Calcaneal bursitis?
Mine has only been 2 days of pain but this helped a lot 🙏🏾
What if all stretches seriously hurt and you can hardly walk? This is my second flare up. First one was about 5-6 years ago.
This video is awesome, had acchlias tendonnis about 4 months ago, then felt like it was better but then did muai thai training yesterday and felt something hurt, this videos helped alot. And the best part is this videos free unlike the physio, hahah thanks for the help man!
You are so welcome!
whenever I’m sitting (not all the time but a good bit of the time) I’m able to pull back on my toes and stretch out but when I do many times on both legs I feel a and her what sounds like a crack like the releasing of pressure in ones back or hip. It doesn’t hurt and I never thought it to be bad in fact thought it might be a good thing that I could be releasing pressure. I’m not sure if other experience this but if so, is it a bad thing ? Should I stop and get it looked at it ?
It happens to me
Happens to everyone
Fabulous advice, it´s working for me after 10 months of pain. Thanks a lot!
