I injured my left achilles pretty bad
Do the heel raise & lower (concentric & eccentric) with slight knee bend & deeper knee bend, as well as on both legs and single leg. Hold or lean onto something when doing these.
In retrospect the sprinting session was stupid to go ahead with after since I didn't do it when my legs were fresh and energized.
I could not go up on my ball of foot for 10 days after the injury. Doctor only gave me anti-inflammatories and said achilles
Heel Raise&Lower(both legs)-22 reps(deeper knee bend)
Heel Raise&Lower(single leg on each leg)-11 reps(slight knee bend)
Heel Raise&Lower(single leg on each leg)-11 reps(deeper knee bend)
Do these on the stairs holding or leaning onto something after a walk or a jog. Slight knee bend will target the calf and the deeper knee bend will target the soleus. Stretch the achilles after these exercises in straight, duck, pidgeon manner
