I agree about all these 4 exercises 100%

[@sportsrehabexperts]

you betcha!

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Do you agree or disagree with these exercises? Let us know in the comments! Also, let us know anything else you would like to see in the future!

[@deniskaranja9783]

How often should you be doing these exercises?

[@masa_ssi]

thank you

[@AngelaJeanBarr]

Does the first exercise have to be done on one leg and then the other, or can you have both feet on the ground and then raise up from there?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

If you physically cannot do it on one leg, then do it on 2. But if you can physically do it, then 1 leg will always be better! In fact you should be able to load it with a weight and do it on one leg!

[@evanf1255]

Thanks for the video! How much pain or soreness is normal during the strengthening process? I'm having trouble distinguishing what is "good" soreness and what is a tendinosis flare-up...

[@sportsrehabexperts]

With tendons its more about how it feels the day after. Usually light-moderate activity makes the tendon feel better. If its worsening during, not a good sign. But if it feels good, need to reconfirm that after 24hrs. If you wake up thinking to yourself you do not want to do whatever you did the day before if you had to, then you are being to aggressive.

[@evanf1255]

that makes sense, thank you

[@eliefeinstein6182]

Would it better to perform these exercises barefoot for better proprioception?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Yes barefoot is preferred! But sometimes if pain is sensitive enough then you may want to start in a good pair of shoes.

Can these exercise be used after going through Achilles partial tear? Struggling with single calf raise thanks

[@sportsrehabexperts]

They can definitely be used. No idea of your current strength or pain levels, so be cautious. But being able to get to a single leg calf raise is VERY important!

[@maureenbenedict2457]

Thank you for sharing. I had Achilles Reconstruction surgery one year ago and still can't walk on slopes and uphill. Which is the best exercise for that problem?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

can you do a single leg calf raise? That is generally the biggest step for people.

[@maureenbenedict2457]

Yes, I have been doing single-leg calf raises every single day. Twenty times / 2 sets.

[@sportsrehabexperts]

@@maureenbenedict2457 sounds like you need more load then and work more towards max strength. If you'd like more specific help working together, feel free to email me [e-mail] I work with a number of Achilles clients

[@tobiaszonk3006]

Hi, Thanks for your videos, I really appreciate them. What's your take on isometric exercises for tendon related issues? Especially in the context of the achilles tendon. Are there any that you'd recommend or would you not use them for the achilles tendon? I know they are used quite often for the patellar tendon with exercises such as the spanish squat. Keep up the good work 👍

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Hey Tobias, isometrics are great! The 3rd exercise with cones I like because it gets the patient something to focus on. Sometimes people get really bored with standard isometrics and they like to "feel" like they are doing more. So that's why I picked that one. But you could certainly do a static isometric hold at a particular position that is very close to where someone gets symptoms (usually more in the lengthened position). Also anything where heel is floating off edge of step is useful too!
