I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I just graduated as a phyiso a few months ago and have gotten a temporary position on an orthopedic clinic where we have a very broad clientel. I watch your videos almost daily as a reference and it has certainly helped me to do a better and more relevant work in a field where broad and critically reviewed knowledge is needed. Keep it up guys!

I'm a first contact physio, working digitally in primary care, I don't know what I'd do without you guys ! making physio education accessible !

[@easterncollegemassage2206]

I absolutely love your stuff. I show your videos in massage therapy classes almost daily:)

[@Physiotutors]

Great to hear and appreciate it - the more people know us, the merrier!;)

[@alexwolfe7551]

Thank you thank you! I was only given 2 exercises to complete in the early stages. Was given my air cast yesterday so I will be giving these exercises a try ASAP. Had a larger than normal rupture I was told.

[@ibrahimtirur2555]

Thank you for your valuable instructions 😊

[@sashikala2229]

Very well explained Sir so I'll definitely follow your exercises 👍🏻👏🏻

[@kantimakan4056]

I tore my Achilles’ tendon five days ago. The ER doctor at the hospital had X-Rays taken that confirmed a rupture. He arranged for an orthopaedic surgeon to assess the situation. She had an ultrasound done. I ended up with a humongous boot with a high wedge and advice that it is going to take months before I can look at physiotherapy. The wedges in the boot (closer 50 60 degrees) have affected the hips just after half day of wear. I am going to try your exercises just to keep my muscles from becoming jelly. Thank you so very much. I shall subscribe to your channel to get further information and direction,

It's been 2 years, hope you got better. I'm just starting my journey

@@mohamedsesay8682 it repaired itself amazingly well without surgery. It was a total rupture. The loss of strength in the calf muscle is still a problem. Thanks for asking.

[@mohamedsesay8682]

@@bikepacker9850 can I ask when did you rupture your Achilles? , i ruptured mines on the 12th of September 2024 . Feel like it’s a mental battle , I play football and I’m 20 years old going non operative

[@bikepacker9850]

@@mohamedsesay8682 15 weeks ago. I'm an older guy, 57. Mine is not 100% now but close. It is incredible how a total rupture just reattached itself. My strength in that foot is my only remaining issue. I can't lift myself up on my front toes like I can on the other foot but it's getting better. My calf has reduced in size, I am told it will return. Physio is very important. Your body tells you when it's time to start walking on the foot again, I got up one morning, and I no longer needed crutches, a month later, another morning, I no longer needed to boot... The first month you think you'll never be the same again. By month three you realise it's just a matter of time and you will be back to normal. Hope this helps, good luck. Don't eat too much while you are immobile😁

[@ibrahimtirur2555]

You are a great professional 🙂

[@Physiotutors]

Thank you! 😊

[@margosaus]

Thank you very much for the instruction. I have been wearing the boot since 4 days ago. When should I start to do these exercises?

[@Anthony11777]

I have a had archilles rupture almost 6 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?

[@meganmcdonald8161]

Love the new tunes

[@joshmagay]

Hi guys! Great Vid! Very helpful... I just wanna ask guys where do you actually get these info? What book do you use? Thank you

[@Physiotutors]

Thanks Joshua. Glad we could help. Most of the info comes from primary research. For therapy videos they're RCTs. You can always find the referenced literature in the vide description.

[@swe3t23]

My doctor told me to do controlled exercise 5 times a day without boot. Should i spread it out throughout the day. So the Achilles isn’t being stressed with the exercise with 5 times in one siting?

[@Physiotutors]

In this type of exercise there’s not a whole lot, if any, stress on the tendon. Also you’ll feel if it is too stressing but if unsure please consult with your treating doctor

[@darkwowpg]

1 time per day or 2?

[@horrellm]

Just wondering how soon after open surgical repair of a complete achilles tendon rupture would you start the phase 1 rehab?

[@Physiotutors]

Yes, but very much depends on the protocl of the surgeon

[@qagbelega10]

I didn't have surgery in my rapture, when is it a good time from the day of the rapture to start physical therapy?
