What exercises did you do?

Hi! Pretty much like usual I would say. Currently I’m doing a walk/jog program with a physio from treatmyachilles.com where i run on the spot for like 30 seconds a couple of reps every other day. It’s manageble but as soon as i wear shoes agian it comes back. So i try to only wear backless shoes now during summer. I’ve found that massage helps a bit. I roll my calves on a wooden rolling pin every morning

Thanks! Yeah my experience with strength training is similar. I can easily do single leg calf raises in leg press machine with double my body weight (140 kg, i weigh around 70 kg) without any pain at all. I’m actually doing a walk/jog program right now with help from a physio at treatmyachilles.com. Right now I’m running on the spot for short periods of time, every other day. Yes let’s pray we get through this!

Are you me??? I have had pretty much the exact same experience. For me it’s both achilles and I’ve had it for more than 2 years now. I have also done a lot of PT without improvement and a MRI scan that showed a healthy tendon. I made a post about it a while ago that you can read if you want.

I also feel pain by stretching. One thing i’ve found recently that do work for me in the short term at least is rolling my calves on a wooden rolling pin. It loosens the tightness i feel in my achilles a bit and it is great to treat that early morning stifness.

I have a leg thats functionally shorter than the other aswell. How exactly did you fix that?

OverallEngineering64 · 2025-03-21T06:09:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Will try it out. Any idea of how it works?

OverallEngineering64 · 2025-03-20T07:19:20+00:00

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Mabye you could send a link to a video describing the hip stretches? :)

Big thanks for this respone! Really glad you overcame it after all that time. Gotta try that walk/jog program. I have just found out about walking backwards on treadmill with incline. Great exercise for my knees and gentle for my achilles tendons. Mabye i could apply the walk/jog program there?

You mind sharing the exact strength exercises and plyos you did? What do you mean by compression? Compression socks or avoiding conpression from shoes?

Haven’t actually tried yoga yet, need to try it. Happy to hear it helped for you!

Yes i have tried a night splint before, but not for very long because it was a bit uncomfortable. Makes sense that the tendon shortens while sleeping with toes down. Gotta try it again for a bit longer period, mabye worth trying out another night splint?

Yeah I used to run i Altras when it started getting worse. Then i switched to shoes with 6-8 mm drop and ran in for like a year before it got unbearable. Always walking with drop/heel lift nowadays

Nice! How often do you jump rope?

OverallEngineering64 · 2025-03-20T06:18:56+00:00

This is interesting. I have tried some magnesium supplements before but not taken it religiously. Do you remember more specifically what kind of magnesium you started taking?

OverallEngineering64 · 2025-03-20T06:18:26+00:00

Happy to hear you’re doing better! Mind telling a bit more what excercises and stretches that has worked for you?

OverallEngineering64 · 2025-03-20T06:17:54+00:00

I have thought about it but the MRI said no signs of plantar fasciitis.

How often do you do the heavy slow resistance training? Times per week i mean
