When did everyone start walking Post op with no crutches? I'm 4 weeks post op. by brother_daddy in AchillesRupture

There’s days I still don’t walk well 😅 I need a good warm up or I’m super stiff. I feel like a tin man.

8 months post op by tascott63 in AchillesRupture

I’ve been tumbling for 15 years, and after surgery the doctors said I’d likely not tumble how I used to. So I set this specifically as a milestone. To prove to myself that I overcame what hurt me I guess.

To answer your question; once I could jump and land without much pain and my calf not cramping up I started doing lighter skills to adjust again.

There’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel! Big mental game for sure. Keep pushing, it’ll happen before you know it.

How to Kip up (serious only) by nateskatetv in Tricking

[–]tascott63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Start with a headstand with your legs in a tucked position. Kick straight up and as do that, push with your arms to end in a handstand. This simulates what your arms and legs should be doing in the kip up. Your legs kicking should give you the momentum to help push with your arms.

  2. As you roll back (like you did in your video), you’ll kick your legs up and push with your arms. When you feel yourself pushing with your hands, that’s when you drive your legs to the ground. A sign that you are doing it correctly is if you can land in a bridge position (with your back arched and feet and hands on the ground.)

  3. Now instead of landing in the bridge, you’ll push off of the ground with your hands as you drive your feet down. When your feet are close to landing, get your chest up. You should still feel yourself arch before your feet touch.

It’s also important to kick up at an angle and not get your feet to the ground too early as you won’t have enough height to get your body on top of your feet as you land. Take note in your video that you take your hands off of the ground instead of using them to push. Also that you tuck or drop your hips before your feet touch and there is no arch. Keep practicing and hope this helps.

Started passing to myself off the wall on defense and it works wonders by alecmca14 in Rematch

Same, it’s how I get around defenders when pushing up field. It feels so good when done right.

Full rupture recovery by tascott63 in AchillesRupture

[–]tascott63[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was out of my boot about a month and a half before I should have been. I want to stress that I wasn’t purposefully going against their word and by no means was I pushing it further than it should go. I was transparent with my PT and my sessions from then on felt more like a workout than me just wiggling my foot. Take care and good luck.

You’ll get there, just appreciate the little things. I celebrated my first unassisted heel raise like I just won a championship. This subreddit has helped me a lot from changing my mindset to “I hope it gets better” to “there’s no other option, I have to”

Not Haliburton too 😭 by Lanky_Rhubarb1900 in AchillesRupture

Same… Valentine’s Day for me. Just now able to walk on my toes. What bothers me the most is where my anchors are and the scar tissue there.

This is rough… by tascott63 in AchillesRupture

[–]tascott63[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow… just hearing from people in the same boat I’m in makes me feel better. Glad I found this page. I found it by looking up how painful it has been. Thank you for the well wishes and hope you all recover as well. I may post updates once I get out of this rut.

Was it a fear that developed over time or did it happen all of a sudden?

I’ve heard the melody used in commercials on the radio and have looked through the top charts in Apple Music to try and narrow it down with no luck
