🦶 Fun Fact Friday: Your Achilles tendon can handle 6–8× your bodyweight when you run!
That’s why tendons need progressive loading (not just stretching).
Try this mini-strength set:
• Heel raises knee straight (gastrocnemius) – 3×8–12
• Heel raises knee bent (soleus) – 3×8–12
• Slow tempo: 3s up, 3s down. Progress to single-leg or add a backpack when comfy.
Got a ni**le? We can help with assessment, rehab planning, sports massage, or shockwave (when appropriate).
