Achilles Tendinopathy Rehab Exercises | Dr.Tejas Thakkar and Dr.Maulik Patwa

If you have Achilles tendonitis, or inflammation of your Achilles tendon, you can do stretches to help recovery.

Achilles tendonitis is usually caused by intense and excessive physical activity. Symptoms include tightness, weakness, discomfort, and limited range of motion.

Sometimes, Achilles tendonitis is called Achilles tendinopathy, but the two conditions aren’t the same. Achilles tendinopathy is the degeneration and damage of collagen in the tendon. It develops when Achilles tendonitis becomes chronic.

Other conditions that can affect the area include Achilles tendonosis, or micro-tears in the tendon, and an Achilles tendon rupture, a partial or complete tear. These conditions are more likely to develop if Achilles tendonitis isn’t treated.

To speed up healing and improve mobility, try these Achilles tendon stretches.
