Eccentric calf raises (or 'heel raises') are still currently the most effective exercise to start strengthening the achilles tendon and calf for a tendonitis, tendinopathy, calf muscle tears or post-operative achilles tendon repair.

I have watch a few videos on Eccentric Exercises for Achilles Tendonitis, and yours is by far the most thorough and complete from beginning phase to advanced. NICE WORK!
Scott Tomassetti cheers scott
This stretch has really helped me!
Thank you so much :)
Great!
That ball placement is a brilliant idea. will use in my rehab.
Yes it works well :)
I needed this cause I had caught awful cramps in my calf & it went straight down to my Achilles
👍

I have a calcification in my Achilles tendon when I finish a football game I feel severe pain in my feet and I am very frustrated
i had a bad stretch in the upper calves in the middle of gastrocnemius and was not able too go on my tiptoes on my left leg and had bad pains the first few days when walking. went too the hospital and they had no clue so they gave me some drugs and a pair of crutches and send me home too rest 🙃 its getting better now but i feel super weak but able too walk and whit assistance stand up on my tiptoes. thanks for the help
Hope you get 100%
I have a had archilles rupture almost 5,5 weeks ago. How can I train my calf properly and which excercises can I do in the meanwhile? Is spinning on a Bike with low resistance a good excercise?
Best advice is to follow my rehab program online at physiorehab.com/rehab-programs-achilles-injury-surgery-rehab
Great video 👍🏽
Thank you! 👍
I have a lump on my Achilles from a previous injury. How can I get rid of it or will it ever go away. I’ve tried massage techniques and it has gotten smaller.
Maybe not if it’s been there for a while
My sister suffering with tendon injury without surgery she complaint severe pain when doing active movements would u plz send me the correct way to treat her ur videos r very interesting and very easy to understand
Bring her to the hospital asap
I suggest a Telehealth consult as would need more information and assessment
How many sets and reps should i do ?
3-4 sets of 8-12 reps depending on your current strength
Why we are working on eccentric for calf strains? What is the benefit?
Vasileios Petropoulos easy to start with to get strengthening in early
what if my tenderness is right below my calf, will these still work?
Yep should be ok!
Dangerous to do step for this injury
This is one for me ;)
Hope it helps!
How i can contact you ?? Do you have WhatsApp... I have serious and complex tendons tension in my both legs... kind of disability 😔 I need your help if there is a possibility to remedy ☹

For the two up two down on the floor, how many reps can be done without overdoing it?
Exercise
Should you begin with isometrics before going with eccentrics?
You can, yes
Hello! Great videos, really helpful! May seem like a stupid question but at what point do you decide the patient is ready to progress through the levels shown in this video? Is it when endurance, strength and pain has improved…? What specifically do you base it on?
Great tip at the end with the ball. My left ankle clicks intermittently when i walk and do calf raises and i believe i compensate by inverting through midfoot instead of pure plantarflexion. Will try this out, great vid as always
I was in cast for 6 weeks after surgery; in boot for another 5 weeks... My leg/calf is super weak.... Just recently started therapy for basic ankle movement... I feel like this is taking forever... :(
Aricu Nono its gonna be 7 years for me next week since my Achilles was repaired still don't have enough strength in my left leg to support my body. Its horrible when I go running. My right leg is suffering bad.
im 22 weeks from a full ATR surgery and it does seem to take a while to get better. focusing on progress is what helped me get through it. and make sure to do your PT exercises as often as youre able to at home. also check out "achilliesblog" dot com. its a blog site of people going through ATR.
I recently injured my lower part of my calf. Should I wait till pain is completely gone before doing these rehab exercise? Thank u very much
You should ask your physio to see where it is at - but yes wait until the pain is not she with general walking
Physio Fitness | Physio REHAB | Tim Keeley .will do Thank you very much
Basically I'm a fat mess and I struggle to get around college and walk my dog what is my responsibility , I just walk for 10-15 my calf/Achilles cause intense pain, is there anything I could find on your channel to help? Thanks :)
Take a look at Daily Rehab #14 and #17
Is this English?
What do you mean exactly? Tim
Hi. I was poisoned by the antibiotic Levaquin which wasted my calf muscles and ankle tendons. I am 10 months out and am walking. My Achilles is still tight, but I would like to rebuild the atrophied calf muscles. When I make a muscle with my calves, about one-third of the calf is just hanging loose. What can I do to start rebuilding the calf without injuring the Achilles. I am afraid of rupture, as these antibiotics(fluoroquinolones) can cause a rupture months after taking them. Thanks.
I would start with these exercises - but my advice is see a Physio first and be under guidance from them in regards to progressions, and if they are suitable considering your history.
I'm having similar problems as you. I'm currently looking for some answers as well to my problem.
