@@mettstulle9021After a couple weeks of doing all these every day, yes I started the heavy slow resistance last week and it's been helping. I am still working on them. I ignored them for far, far too long.
This is exactly my problem and it's been chronic since about 2003! This is the first insightful piece of advice I've received from anyone, including clinicians or serious athletes who have rehabbed from Achilles tendon injury. I'll start tomorrow. I really miss sprinting, running stairs and jumping. I hope this works.
@@idontmisscam6907 Many thanks! Yes, this aggravating achilles tendonitis problem is under control, and very rarely, for maybe a few hours, feels tight again. Several times a week at the gym, I sit in an "ass-to-grass" position, no shoes, just socks. Because of the lack of mobility in the ankles and Achilles, I take a large size 15lb plate and hold it out in front of me with my elbows resting on my knees. Sometimes I have my elbows inside my knees pushing out. I'm up to 10 minutes now in that position. You only need to do it once 2-3 times a week. That's the rehab that's worked the best. By the way, it's a very mentally intensive exercise. My focus the whole time is entirely on my breath.
@@bugra9912 Yes! I've made a lot of progress. However, these techniques require more consistency then I realized. You can't take a break for even a week! At least that's my experience.
@@RichLettuceHey I have it for already 1 Year almost and it still hurts like shit to walk even with heel raises. Can i still walk 10000 steps a day and then do like 2 sets of isometrics every 2 days slowly? I never healt cuz I cycled, ran till now. I want to fix it finally
I’ve had this pain for a while now. I started doing the peloton bike classes and my Achilles is much better. After about 50 days of riding, I jogged a couple miles for the first time in years. This video leads me to believe I stumbled across an exercise that helped in my rehab. I use my calves a lot biking but with less impact - kind of like a weighted calf raise. 🤔
I wish I could hug you right now!!!! Thank you so much In so sick of this pain when jump roping. Changed shoes, orthotics, etc still nothing. I need this to strengthen my Achilles and calves so THANK YOU!!!!
For me the pain goes away after I get warmed up and doesn’t really come back until the day after. Like it just flares up after activity but I feel totally fine during it.
Just starting this routine now. Noticed instability and a *significant* difference in strength in my right calf (the problem child) when doing the weight work. Yer doin God's work my dude
Dorsiflexion of ankle is what makes our Achilles tendon to tear,so do the opposing motion to heal and strengthen that ,like do skipping and plantar flexion based exercises remember never use heel while landing
I’ll never be pain free because of my Achilles, however, I have found that stretching using yoga has really decreased my pain much more than by using the roller or ankle stretching
I actually did have a painful Achilles due to lack of flexibility there. I switched to a heel strike walk, slowly uppd the walking in heel strike and then once my calves got some mobility, it went away.
Do you have any videos for ankle sprains that didn't heal fully? I can walk and run but it's like my body doesn't trust my foot anymore. I had a grade 2 sprain some years back
Guys, you can link to your full video with shorts. It even shows just under the shorts title. Even then you can link it in description or even a pinned comment. There is so much extra important information that anyone serious about solving this issue should be aware of. Its a win for everyone envolved. Please. Link the full video.
@@javierrodriguez-ie7xp it’s not that bad it’s just continuities… it won’t go away… some days are better some days are worse. I just look for additional advice. I stretch , I strength, I regenerate , I massage , I cool it… but still it’s not gone. New shoes for „sport“ , daily and at work… no final cure insight.
So avoid stretching the calves or incorporate it at the end of these? I could do all of these with no discomfort but since adding stretches I feel some discomfort in my Achilles tendon
Somebody knows where to find a short/video about Calf Strain in this channel? I am about to start the recovering and hopefully coming back to Tennis in 2-3 weeks.
I've had Achilles insertional tendonitis, plus anterior and posterior tibialis pain for the past 2 years now. I've rested and I've stretched and I've strengthened nothing works please help.
My issue ain’t even load I just sprained my ankle and I want it to heal faster cuz it’s been 6 months and I still can’t even jog, I’m 18 the recovery shouldn’t be this long
What if I have to keep running at baseball practice? Also what is the root of the problem, I have a feeling it is worn insoles of my cleats because the bottoms of my feet also are very painful after practice. It is to the point where my coaches are unhappy with my performances offensively and defensively and needs to be corrected almost instantaneously
I strained myself hiking almost a year ago so now when I walk i have a tightness in the bottom of my foots arch. Im told its plantar fascitis (or however thats spelled). Is this a load bearing issue too? How would you go about correcting that so i can hike and excercise without pain? 😢
I feel like I got the start of a tendonitis , I usually recover fast from ankle sprain or injuries like that but my Achilles tendon is slightly painful even tho it's still strong , so I'm pretty sure that's a tendonitis I thought about doing isometrics for calf raise but thanks for the info
Bruh, I have pain in my Achilles, the front of my foot seems jammed and my L hip doesn’t have enough to outward rotation resulting in uneven squats… what do I start with first?!
I wish this made sense to me. 😔 I learned today that my issue is my Achilles and not my hamstrings so that's where I'm at. Basic anatomy. Lol. Isotopes, heavy low resistance tendenopathy lmao I will just move on to a different video I guess lol
Really called us out with the foam roller and the valve stretch
I feel personally attacked on the heel stretch and foam roller 😅 🥲
Yup … that was me. Now that know why the pain continued
Right! I just got done doing the wall stretch and looked at my foam roller and pulled up this video to see what will help my Achilles 😫🙄🙄
I can do the hops but it still hurts after I play basketball. This is the most tedious and annoying injury ever
This is amazing. Achillies have been bugging me for weeks.. stopped my daily runs.. going to start this today! Thank you.
Did it work for you?

How did it Go?
Awesome doc! I’ve been jumping rope for a while now and my Achilles pain is no more 😊
Could you maybe make a video about anterior knee pain, especially while squatting? Thx so much and i really appreciate your videos!
That might be caused by having the knee to far out

Research has also shown that taking collagen peptides while training leads to a much stronger and thicker achilles tendon!
Do you have a link for that research?

Holy shit thank you! This has helped me massively.
me too
how long did it take ?
I don't run marathons I just want to be able to walk without pain in every step!
do what these guys say
Do isometrics mostly , try to remove that pain in the steps , then you can do a little plyometrics , for less pain even when jogging

I have this issue and everyone morning I have soreness and tenderness. Going to try this and will let you guys knows the outcome
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤
My pain seems to be on the side of that tendon. Is that still the Achilles? Not going to the gym since Covid feels like I’m falling apart here.
Thank you for this video!
You guys are the best 🎉
As a runner this is creeping me out
I remember pogo hopping and running every where. I need to get back there.
Single arm Farmers carry has really helped my heel pain from coming back and foot strength.
Great Job guys
Perfect timing doc
Is it the same advice for insertional tendonitis or even a partial tear (unsure which I have)?
Thanks
Bob 🇬🇧
Wow, this is great. ❤
Thank you!
Yow! So much great info in so short a vid!
Will try out🙏
Yeah mate … soon as I get to the pain free jump I go for a run … 10 min in im back to square 1 …. Been doing this circle for over a year now
I don’t have pain now! But I do have bursitis lower back of heal. Would you recommend?
I only feel pain when I touch it. Does rhat count?
When he said "there is a 3 stage approach", I thought about mcgill big 3.
My achilles tendons are both shortened naturally, what do you suggest me to do?
What about a painful/weak knee?
Have you tried mom's spaghetti?
Wall sit
He made a video on it. The Bulgarian squat!
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HYPER MOBILITY, pleaseeee
I second this!
Do as I did.... use crutches for a day for balance and it MAY sort it!
Thank you
Thanks.
I only get pain when I am in a stretched position and only one leg. Is this the same problem or something else?
Imagine having Aaron as a gym bro 😂
Is it normal to have only one of them giving you pain instead of both? I feel it every time I walk now
I actually did have a painful Achilles due to lack of flexibility there. I switched to a heel strike walk, slowly uppd the walking in heel strike and then once my calves got some mobility, it went away.
Thankyou
do you mean pain in the morning or pain the next morning?
I only get pain when stretching my tendon
Thanks
Can you explain shin splints next please !
No. Tibia raises to counter the tension.
Does it really help? Any source?
Do you have any videos for ankle sprains that didn't heal fully? I can walk and run but it's like my body doesn't trust my foot anymore. I had a grade 2 sprain some years back
Hi! Are the stretches really unnecessary? Or can I do it for warm up before I do the Isometrics and heavy slow resistance?

If they’re having pain with walking will they generally be offloaded in a boot?

So is this serious injury or not?? Im scared
Like an idiot I did this longboarding, its something I'll stretch and warm up every single session I do again. I hate how annoying this pain is
Is there anything else to do if the pogo hops are too easy. I'm a high jumper so that puts a lot of pressure on my achilles
Make video on Heel bursitis
My pain is more in the middle of the leg near the butt connection of the calf..... Is that the same thing?
