Practicing boxing has destroyed my Achilles tendon.. hurts to get moving, but once moving it goes away… scary to think one can suffer further injuries.. thanks Doc.. I appreciate this one

[@johncasey37]

I had this pain for a long time, then it got worse, so I had to go get an MRI, and found out. I sit at my computer and would jump up, run out the door and run 600 feet up a hill, without warming up, and I am about 60+. Well, I had torn the tendon half way. I chose, no surgery and could not deal with the foot brace. I walked around my home in baby steps and over months took bigger steps. I healed it myself and know now to warm up first.

[@aessoufi_]

Been increasing the intensity of my runs and this pain has been creeping up on me. Thanks for the advice 👍

Same for me man, those uphill runs sprints messed me up

@@ybarrajoshua97there’s a way to stretch it out my coach taught me so basically get into starting position but put ur foot fully into the ground and put ur foot closest to you on top of the back heel

[@user-el7yq8js1j]

Sorry can you elaborate again, it's a little confusing for me. What starting position?

[@I_Will_Be_someone]

@@user-el7yq8js1j oh my bad so it’s the sprinting starter position basically you get on all fours like a push up and put one foot on the other and move you heel to the floor sorry about the confusion

[@ToluwalaseOjo]

Wow just did this and I feel great thank you mane. I’m a runner and my left leg has been hurting whenever I run. It usually hurts for the first 5-7 min while running then goes away. Now I can move on the ball of my feet with no pain . Thanks

[@MargaretWalkerCellist]

My LEFT achilles is the problem, and I figured is was caused by my mowing my yard with a self-propelled lawn mower when the grass was knee high, at my age, 76. The RIGHT tendon isn't affected because in my life I have played piano professionally for college music departments for 60 years and the piano pedal work made my RIGHT tendon very strong, but not my LEFT - also I have driven a car since age 16. These exercises are very helpful: thanks!

Can anybody explain how this is so beneficial? I’ve been struggling with poor posture, groin, hip, calf & heel pain since around February but by just doing this exercise today I’ve got instant relief & released months of tension out of 1 side of my body ❤❤❤❤❤

[@corn5341]

Doing a cross friction massage increases the blood flow in that area and loosens it up a bit. It helps with healing process a bit aswell

Hi! So glad to see you making these videos so helpful. Also like the other wonderful people making them.

[@johncafarella1152]

Do you have a full video on the Achilles’ tendon/calf? I tore my ankle up a few years ago and recently it just doesn’t feel the same and could really use some knowledge and help from you guys!

[@squidkiller5263]

I am in the same boat. I have been squatting and deadlifting alot which have been helpful. I do get intermittent achilles tendonitis since my ankle injury. If I run too often it flares up. Also been doing calf raises which help alot.

[@bruceellison9269]

I love you guys channel you’ve personally helped me twice once with the consistent rolled ankles issues breaking up scar tissue and now after my Achilles surgery 🙌🏾

[@foh9416]

can i explain what i get ? so this typically happens when i walk for a certain time nothing too far maybe after like 5 min this starts happening i get this discomfort on the bottom of my foot in the middle and it goes up to a little above my ankle on the side of my left leg right above the side ankle which i notice a lump that happens it gets very tight and hard could this just be the way i walk ? i do not get alot of mobility , im overweight what can help this ? or any ideas why this happens ? i walk around the house fine but it’s just when i go long distance walking when it becomes a problem never get swollen by itself always with walking ONLY

Hi Bob & Brad, I got my achilles ruptured 6 weeks ago, in NZ they only do non-surgical. But I only found out from internet with this type of treatment, I should do early weight bearing training from week 2.

[@rickyspanish4792]

My fingers tire after like 10 seconds tho lol, but great tip

[@blakesleyk.7166]

That’s why many massage therapists love to utilize hot rocks. Simple: find a smooth kinda pointy rock that fits nicely in hand. (Boiled & hot is better.) Then do as Bob said. Works!

[@BobandBrad]

we completely understand that!

[@everydaynine_2282]

All you gotta do is this but it requires the opposite foot…. Get your other foot use the big toe and the toe beside it and use it to pinch squeeze the tendon on the opposite foot and it feels so good. Depends.. make sure the tendon area is soft by not lifting your feet to high or too low .. if your feet all the way high you can’t grip the tendon with the other toe!!!

Fasting gets rid of inflammation. Cardio without ankle motion, helps with healing and inflammation. Stretch your shins, don’t stretch the Achilles tendon.

I’m so happy you posted this. I have been having pain in both my heels for about a year and a half now. I haven’t been to a doctor for it but the description of the pain for heel spurs or plantar ficitis just don’t make sense. Each morning I wake up and my heels are so sore and feel bruised, even if I had an easy day. This morning, I tried this out of curiosity after being awake for about 50 minutes. My heels don’t hurt. Whaaaat!?!? Explain yourself mister fixer. Please!!

If I have inflammation in the achilles tendon and have a little bit of tendinitis, is this something I can still do but at a lower pressure then use TENS after?

[@jj9749]

Weirdo

[@rondawson7577]

I don’t see many recommendations to strengthen your calves and legs. Forget the massages, they don’t help healing. Spend that time strength training. Then either walk or run (pain free) to aid healing. If you can’t walk or run pain free, change your shoes and get a high heel to toe drop shoe to take pressure off the Achilles until it heals. This is a 12 week process for most people. If you don’t strengthen your legs, you will never totally solve the problem. #experienced

[@coltukkor]

Weird. That’s exactly the problem I’ve been having. 15 years ago I tore up my Achilles as I misstepped coming down the stairs.Took several years but gradually it became somewhat normal. Though i feel it never quite healed proper. But these last few months out of nowhere it’s been flaring up on me. I can walk on it okay but any kind of more prolonged intense pressure like jogging or running is out of the question. I’ll try this whenever I get the chance. Maybe it’ll help.

[@BobandBrad]

hopefully it will help

[@sheikhmoyeen8811]

@coltukkor i have the same problem too, I tore my Achilles a year ago while practice session of soccer , I was a part time athlete and my doctor told me to go through the conservative route instead of surgery so i agreed . It's been a year & 2 months since then but now I have Tendinopathy very bad... I just gave up on the doctors in our side because in our side medical is not very good..... Can you please share your recovery information with me....?
