Calf Loading for Achilles Tendinopathy

The best drills are the deceptively simple ones. Here is a great early to mid phase rehab drill to load the achilles and calf complex via Zeren PT and Performance.

Simple loading progression for the calf muscle complex using body weight. While far heavier loads are generally necessary to restore capacity, especially in athletic populations, several of these drills often prove helpful at some point of the rehab process in working with runners and athletes following Achilles’ tendon disorders or strains of the calf muscle complex. Make sure to brush up on the role of compression in managing folks with Achilles tendinopathy. #running #tendinopathy mastersrunner #simplicity istheultimatesophistication
