While it can take a while for the Achilles to respond to rehab, the issue might be that your tendon isn't sliding effectively. The Achilles is actually divided into superficial and deep layers, and in those suffering from tendinopathy, the sliding between these layers is often reduced. To improve this mechanical glide, try performing your heel raises with your toes pointed out. It is still a great idea to continue those heavy, slow raises to build tendon capacity. However, adding this specific "toes-out" modification to target the sliding mechanism might be the missing piece to your recovery. Give this modification a try and let me know in the comments how it goes! 👇 #tiktokpartner #runtok #achillestendonitis less
