As we mentioned in part 1 of 4 to this Achilles Tendon rehab series, is that stretching is not the solution! A better solution would be to strength train the tendon, and progressively load the tendon!

Here is a link to part 1 video if you have not watched:

These two exercises demonstrated in this video target the Gastroc and the Soleus. Both muscles compose the majority of the Achilles Tendon. Strength, hypertrophy, and capacity are extremely important in these two tissues. As such both exercises are extremely beneficial.

We perform the from a flat ground first to reduce the sensitivity to compression of tendon on the calcaneus which it would experience when dropping the heel off a ledge. Over time you can strengthen into more ankle DF range of motion as symptoms allow.
