REHAB OF THE CALF MUSCLE AFTER ACHILLES TEAR

(2 discussions)

I HAD A PARTIAL ACHILLES TEAR IN JUNE 2011 (ABOUT 30%). I HAVE PRETTY GOOD RANGE OF MOTION IN IT. I CAN’T RUN ON IT JUST YET.JUST A LITTLE SLIGHT JOG. BUT I NOTICE THAT MY CALF MUSCLE IS NOT AS HARD AS IT WAS BEFORE AND IT IS NOTICEABLY SMALLER THAN THE OTHER LEG.WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT UP TO WHERE IT ONCE WAS. ALSO WHAT I CAN I DO TO PREVENT ANOTHER INCIDENT?

    I had a 70% achilles tendon rupture. I would like to know what exercises ( Beginning rehab exercises ) I need to do to slowly get back back to the walking motion and allow the tendon to slowly heal and grow back to its original form as before?
