đââïž *The Complete Guide To Healing Your Achilles Tendon Pain At Home:*
Struggling with Achilles tendon pain? You're not alone. In this video weâll cover everything you need to know about understanding, treating, and overcoming Achilles tendonitis from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're a runner, athlete, or simply dealing with nagging discomfort, these strategies will help you get back on your feet and back to doing what you love pain-free.
đŠ” *What Is The Achilles Tendon?*
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the bottom of the calf muscles to the top of the heel bone. It plays a crucial role in activities like walking, running, and jumping.
đ€ *What Is Achilles Tendinitis?*
Achilles tendinitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It can result from overuse, sudden increases in physical activity, improper footwear, or biomechanical issues. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking or running. Without proper treatment, Achilles tendinitis can become a chronic issue, limiting mobility and hindering athletic performance.
đ *How To Treat Achilles Tendinitis*
Treating Achilles tendinitis typically involves a combination of rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and anti-inflammatory medications. Physical therapy modalities (presented in this video!) can help improve flexibility and reduce pain. In more severe cases, medical interventions like corticosteroid injections or orthotics may be necessary to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
đ *Achilles Tendinitis Treatment At Home*
While professional medical guidance is essential for managing Achilles tendinitis, there are several effective home remedies and exercises you can incorporate into your routine to accelerate healing and prevent recurrence. In this video youâll learn the steps you can take at home to help your Achilles tendon heal and feel better!

How did you injure your Achilles? COMMENT your experience below! Also tightness in the Achilles often leads to plantar fascia pain in the bottom of your foot... if that's your case then you should check out this video: czcams.com/video/uod-dBB11hs/video.html Good luck!
Feedback:Yes, i could feel the 2nd stretch for the calf muscle[6:19] tighter in the Achilles.
@@samanthamaharajh8456 thanks so much for sharing! I hope these help you to feel better!
I didnât injure them and donât know why I have these bumps donât really hurt but I kits not right
Stepping up in and out of semi trucks.
Sports. Iâm icing the tender tendon now
My foot hurts so bad I am just limping đąđą
You saved my life. The foot dr gave me shots and a 600 boot. Nothing just pain. I watched your video. I did it for 2 days n now I can walk again Iâm not kidding you. The spoon thing I changed it to a rolling pin lol works great.
Thank you a million times over
Glad it helped and you are welcome!
Very helpful and informative. I did experience some instant relief. Thumbs upđđœ.
đąthank you so very much! Iâve been living with that pain just thinking itâs just the old age setting in. Finally after doing your regiment for two months to the T, I am completely pain free and got back to running, which is what I used to do for years but stopped because the pain was too much. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOUđ đ
funny.
i just developed a soreness in my left tendon from excessive walking. this video just came in clutch!
What a coincidence, @Pxxnxe_! I hope these help you! Thanks for commenting.
@@toneandtightenâââ ââ also, regarding the Soleus Stretch, i definitely feel it more in the Achilles after unlocking the knee.
this EXACTLY what just happened to me too. pain in left tendon from walking
You are amazing⊠out of nowhere my Achilles started hurting really bad⊠I started doing these expercises and the improvement after first day was better then the second day I skipped it thinking I could⊠and it came back a little⊠so I started the exercises again⊠this has made all the difference⊠I thought I would have to see a doctor⊠but ever since these exercise there is no reason to⊠the exercises take the pain away.
I thought maybe I would do it for a couple weeks⊠and if it comes back Ill start up againâŠ
Been running for last 4 weeks, 3 times a week. Started at 3m now up to 5. Anyway experiencing pain in my right achilles and just finished watching your vid on this topic from 4 yrs ago! Glad to see the methods are similar and still relevant. I'll be doing these exercises each day and see how I get on. Cheers.
Great stuff. Mine is overuse from cycling. I like the eccentric lowering idea. One thing Iâve done is anchor a band to the wall and loop it over my toes. Pulling my toes up with the band providing resistance.
very nice exercises!
Glad you like them!
All of your videos are super helpful! They provide much needed relief. Iâm curious though do you happen to have a video for pain the arch area in the foot? Thanks!!
Not yet!
I fell going up hill. The doc said I over extended the achilles. I don't have a little step for the Stair Stretch at home. This is what I came up with to do it. To start, I put two tomato paste cans on their side one behind the other in front of the bottom of my stairs. This spaced the can away from the step enough for me to work with it. Later I put them on top of a yoga mat to keep them from rolling. I then put the ball of my foot on the can closest to me. After that got easier for me, I took two vegetable cans on their side at the bottom of the stairs and put my foot on the can closest to me. On another note, my ankle was pretty weak for the Eccentric Heel Raises off of a stair so my PT had me start out doing the excercise on the floor first then work up to doing it on the stair as my ankle got stronger. These are all great exercises. Thanks for putting out this video!
thanks ! this move at 3:58 helps a ton, I use resistsnce band and it work quite the same. I've been in pain at upper part of achilles tendon since afternoon. I ease the stress and stiffness at evening thanks to this video đ.
one note to myself is to stretch the calves and achilles/heel before doing leg day đ, a day before I did leg day.
Thank you VERY much for this video. 12 years ago my Achilles was smashed badly against a concrete step while moving a sofa down three flights, resulting in a rupture that took 7 months to heal enough to walk normally and 4 more months to be able to jog again. It's been weak ever since, and recently I restarted treadmill jogging/walking daily after 3 months of no cardio while doing renovations. I thought I was stretching my calf and Achilles sufficiently before hopping on, but apparently not, as it flared up 12 days ago and got strained. Your massage and stretches are helping tremendously, my calf has finally calmed back down and some flexibility is returning to the Achilles. It's still not ready for any load-bearing stretches, but range of motion on passive stretches is almost back to normal before the pain threshold shows up. And yes, I most definitely feel a stronger pull on the Achilles with the soleus variation of the runner's stretch.
Definitely felt it more in my achilles when doing the soleus stretch!
Thank you, great video.
I do feel that second stretch going deeper down in my heel.
đ
Glad you enjoyed it!
yes you're right when i brought the leg closer i felt it better,!!
thanks for your video it really helped my achilles tendons
You're welcome!
Super useful advice đđœ
Glad you think so!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi Doc, I came across your video as I felt my tendinitis of seven years (got it in 2016) acting up. I have tried shockwave therapy before (in 2019), and it got significantly better, but I failed to stay consistent in strengthening my tendon. Is it best if I get another shockwave therapy or I can just focus on strengthening and progressive loading? Many thanks in advance!
50 something amateur athlete who is just now experiencing Achilles tendonitis. I believe it was brought on by a big increase in intensity of efforts(cycling) and trying a new style of pedaling. I had taken a year off the bike and started training again February this year(2024). This past week I tried two hard days in a row while working on the new pedal stroke. This is when the injury occurred. Anyhoo, I'm trying your solutions and will report back in a few days with an update. Thanks for your content, hope it works!
I have a bump on both of my Achilles would you recommend I do this will they go away Iâve had them for a few months
Thankyou very much for these. I do get achilles issues in my left ankle area. I also get some pain, seemingly under my foot and into my arch. Is this related, as along with a massage ball in my arch, these exercises seem to help. I stretch every day, but I think I overstrain it from time to time. I'm 68 in April but very fit. Walking, cycling, jogging, and golf. My family say I do too much, but I love training and being fit. Many thanks for you videos, I use them all the time and have built up a collection that keep me going.
Thank you for commenting! I hope you feel better soon!
Hi doctor when should I start this exercise my achilles is just two months since I injured
We had 5 netball matches last Saturday and I play a position that requires a lot of running, quick pivots and jumps. I started well until the 3rd match, we didnât warm up enough before that game because we were so exhausted. During the game, I started to feel that the mobility of my toes is quite limited and I was having cramps in my feet and calfs. I proceeded to play and while I was playing, I felt my calf lift. The pain was not severe because I immediately iced it not knowing itâs actually the Achilles that I have injured. My achilles started aching a day later and 2 days after that I was limping, but there is no swelling.
I think these exercises are for me. I have pins in my left ankle. I am reasonably fit and run regularly. My ankle has never been quite the same since my accident. Will it ever feel "right"?
Nice session, thank you dear
Always welcome!

Hey, could you considering doing one on back exercises for overweight people? Laying down on my stomach isn't exactly a reasonable option right now, but my back does need help.
Felted more into the Achilles runners strech
I think I have Achilles tendonitis? Stretches are more painful when trying to angle my foot too much but I can perform variations of them. Reinjured trying to run too soon, a month after injury originally occurred.
These injuries usually take a few months then, to fully heal, right? Lesson learned.
My injury has been about 7 weeks ago an it is a ruptured tendon will this help or hurt? My toes are curling downward when I walk and I have no strength to push my foot off the floor.Can you help or do I need to see a dr.? I am 71 years old. Thankd
How many times per day should these be done, once or twice?
I have an inflamed right heel bursa. My doctor recommended an Achilles brace, but i found it very uncomfortable, especially on that heel. I stand and walk all day at work. Most days i end up limping. Ive tried various stretches everyday, but they don't seem to be helping. Any suggestions? Thank you
Please help me.Problem is regarding my left quadratus lamborum on my left side. For 3_4 years it was giving me a lot of pain in the middle side of my left side back but a few days about a week ago I was sitting on floor for long time and I didn't realize that I was putting pressure on my left hip and left side while sitting and when I stood up I had an extreme pain in my hip and thighs and my lower back side . And the pain that I use to feel on the middle of my back side and no there I feel like it's now shifted down towards my left hip and a part of my left lower back and now I want sit on a sofa as easily as I used to sit before this happened. What should I do and how should I get rid of it. Please help me I'm in pain
Dr Jared, due to previous injury, I have a calcification on my Achilles slightly above my left ankle. I have zero pain, but I canât stand on my left ball of the foot unsupported. So I donât have push off on that foot. Iâve tried rehab and red laser therapy and those havenât helped. My left calf is also weak. Do I see a podiatrist or orthopedic doc? Is it surgery time to remove that ossification? Thanks.
Oh man - I'm sorry to hear about your pain, @d.sylvester5492! If PT didn't help, I would perhaps consider a couple of options: 1. Go to another PT (I always advocate conservative care over anything else) 2. Go to a podiatrist (they may be able to recommend a different treatment) 3. Go to a foot/ankle orthopedist. For something like that I like as many opinions and options as possible to come up with the best plan of care with the fewest long-term implications. Good luck!
Sr i have pain in my lower back in place of lower backbone. I also have burning sensation in my right leg and right side of back. What should i do for it . Please guide me. I am 27 year of age...
I walk all day at work for the past 2 years but my Achilles started hurting recently (this past month) my doctor thinks itâs plantar fasciitis but the pain is only in the back of my leg. Hopefully these exercises help!
Fibromyalgia ruined my muscles. My Achilles heel was greatly affected. I am currently doing a self-rehabilitation by going to the gym, and your exercises will hopefully help me a lot!
Thanks for sharing! I hope they do help!
are those exercises good for insertional achilles also?
Hi I am having this injury as I play badminton little pain is there while playing
Is it advisable to do these with little pain
I'm on my feet alot at work . I walk back and forth in a restaurant and have work shoes with too much cushion that the foot feels like it's moving . The following day I felt a pop while riding my bicycle . Could I possibly have injured my Achilles , and could this plan of treatment help me ? Please respond . Thank you .
Minor heel spur .can go away? Or only pain can go away?
I am trying to recover from complete rupture (x2). My achilles is super tight after both surgeries. I will try these stretching exercises and see if they will help with the constant pain. With my PT and this... hope it works
Best of luck!
How many times a day should i do this âworkoutâ sir
Can one walk or slow run during the achilles tendinitis recovery period? My doc says recovery will take month and in between you have to rest completely . This can happen again
What type of stair aerobic platform should I use for stair stretch?
Came cross your video wanted check it out
Are these safe to do with a bone spur?
I had this injury since almost two years I tried a different medication like the Anti-inflammatory , voltaren and nothing changed. Right now Iâm taking Physical therapy using shocks waves same time I feel better but also same time during walking I feel worse from the pain really hurts and I donât know what else I can do please if can help me out I will be grateful đđ»
first you need to do an mri or like xray scan of your muscle. if the symptoms is 'muscle tear' then I'm afraid this kind of exercise won't help. I had shockwave therapy too before but it is only to 'relax' your stiff muscle, and that's it.
to fix the pain you need to strengthen your muscle or repair it (if it tears). as far as I know achilles tear have to be medically treated or else you can still walk, but you overload other muscle and it's what causes the pain
I have total knee replacments on both knees. 2 years apart. Within the last week, the first leg done my achilles, at the heel, has become painful....all the time. Maybe I overdid my exercises. Is this common? I will try your exercises. I understand that the new geometry has something to do with this. Thank you for your excellent demonstration. No one explained the importance of strengthening the tendon. I'm 59 years old, and the last thing I want is to get more x- rays. Understand that in no way will I blame you if things get worse...it's on me. Feel free to give your opinion. Hell, I'll try anything.
Thanks for your video!
is the heel painful on idle or during movement ? if it's painful all the time don't do this exercise. but if the pain is during movement then it could be due to stiff muscle. my grandma also had knee replacement (72 years old), she had trouble getting up from sitting position and claim it was painful.
she often got cramped when she sleeps during first 3 week of knee replacement. I try to relax the stiff muscle but on old people I noticed that the symptoms are different. so I think it's advisable to be smarter physically and know which part of your muscle is hurt. if you hate xray do physical therapy, I have good contact but I live in Indonesia. not sure you can reach, but I have my therapy at soekamtocare. hope you went well soon
Got an appointment for an x-ray. It hurts all the time. I'm 59, so we will see what's going on. Thanks for the reply!!
I just injured my last week playing pickle ball - how long should I leave it before i start doing anything as i cannot even walk at the moment it is just to much pain
I have some pain but still want to play soccer. I can still walk and all. Its just sore. Are the odds of it rupturing increased greatly on a situation like this?
Moving/sports is possible ONLY if on a scale from 1-10 pain comes max to 3. Be aware of the reaction 24h later, the achilles responds later/delayed to your exerciseload
It's always better to take the time and heal first. Further injury could make things worse and put you down for even longer.
I felt it instantly when I bent my knee.
Suffered this for going on to 5 years.
Carrying chairs and tables up and down stairs for months, working doors and floors for hours per shift... twisting turning.
I'm 36 years old and my grandfather is more active than I am.
I made the mistake of going hard on the shoulder press once I got the smith machine. The next day I wanted to end it! (Life)
But even before this - I couldn't imagine even at @1:40s. Life is depressing if you're dealing with this severely.
I've had dry needling with no avail.
Most of these exercises would probably have helped, as suggested by my physio. But I didn't stick to them. I had the moon boot for a little while and that was absolutely fantastic. No pain at all. Some medication I take, does help but very hard on the stomach (arthrexin).
Did the roller đđđ
Yes! It worked!! Started tsking the tenderness, pain away the first day!
There are a lot of advice, i 10/10 recommend the knowledge on this channel. Question, whats effective when you travel and cant take the foam roller (this was really big, its been 4 days since i started, first day with no early morning stiffness đđđ)
I ran and ended up having super horrible pain in my Tendons and calf muscles, can't really walk that easily without limping, feet and legs still capable of moving but the pain makes it hard to walk
I started sprinting suddenly, almost 2 years on (with a pregnancy in there) Iâm still struggling! Iâve just resumed gym and weightlifting and itâs come back so much worse that even walking is difficult
Any exercises for tailbone pain which is out of alignment
I don't have a video on that yet, @ssidhuj, but I appreciate the suggestion! I'll see what I can do.
Try the Bowen Technique
I am 49 now I play football 2 or 3 times a week both
My Achilles give me moderate pain I find it hurts more in the morning when I get out of bed.
Ufff I feel the pain with the unlocked one for sure
Just played basketball yesterday for first time in a while now the next day I can hardly walk
problem is my calfs arent tight so none of these help. I went to phisio for months with no change.
URGENT I CAN WALK With pain but swollen for 1 Yr now. But 1 Yr still unable to go on tiptoe?? Why.
Then a doctor told me if I walk too much the achilles could snap?
My pain came from my mattress, after I got a new one the pain went away
I took Ciprofloxacin antibiotics and this happened to me.
Is it meant to be pain free?
No, I think he said something like within your pain tolerance or something at the beginning
Now I thought we weren't supposed to stretch insertional Achilles arthritis. All the other videos say we just do load training and heal UPS.
I didnât find self massage and stretching to help at all. I much prefer to do the heel raises without being on a surface. just on the ground. on a block like that would be have been way too much to start with. The thing thatâs helped the most has been some Soleous activation in different positions and then progressively loading heel raises but from a ground position not on a step up.
Such great insight, @allysonvollmer7223! You make a great point - there are MANY treatment options available and what works for some may not be the best for others. Thanks for sharing your personal experience and giving us some more ideas as to what could be helpful! đđŒ
Anyone else hear a popping sound in the achilles from time to time while doing heavy calve raises without any warm ups?
Is that a precursor to injury or just a normal thing that happens if not warmed up properly?
@@KenanTurkiyehappens to me idk
@@aboveSubparBallAnalysis ty for the feedback, do you know what it is?
nothing works. I have to walk less than a quarter mile every day, down to the store for food. No matter how 'ok' (that's a relative term) my achilles feel when I leave, by the time I get back, both, (or sometimes only one) are killing me. They never heal
Mines come and go for years now. Never tried to fix it, hopefully this works.
Hoe can I send u a donation via Venmo?
Bro got Nikes and coco butter his girl probably black lol
To fix Achilles Tendonitis you need to use heavy loads , Make it or Break it - tactic . When you stretch the tendon with heavy weight you force the little fibers inside to go in same direction . The massage dosnt work .
Thanks for sharing your experience, @kevinnikolov4418! Eccentric loading is absolutely the goal that everyone should work towards. I will disagree with you on the massage, though... there are a number of good studies that support cross-friction or cross-fiber massage as an effective means of healing tendinopathy.
Please guide .
i workout at home ani workout at home so i started HIT withot wearing shoes and suddenly this pain comes up , i neglect that and it increase , i feel pain early in the morning and the time my leg is in the rest and then i started to walk and it goes away in few minutes, and when i stretch its all good and i also realize when i stretch second time at night and use some balm it reduce inflammation and relieve pain so i feel much better in the morning and pain like get better,This pain is from several weeks so do i have to stop doing cardio or weight lifting or HIT? and how long does it take ?
Very good exercises sir. There is swelling in heel what is it sir. Can you give your what's app number i will send photo of the heel pl
