Achilles Tendon Tear

REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...

Nerve Glide: Lay down on your back with both legs extended. Use a rope or band and wrap around the ball of your foot. Keep your leg straight and pull your toes towards you. Come up until you feel the stretch down the back of your legs or feel your symptoms. Pump your foot up and down, keeping your leg as straight as you can. Do not hold the stretch, continue to pump into the pain and out of the pain. Continue for two minutes on each leg.

Heel Raises: While sitting, lift your heels up keeping your weight on your toes. As you can perform this exercise with no pain, perform these standing. Then you want to again progress yourself to performing these on one foot. Your goal is to complete 2 sets of 20 repetitions.

Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
