3 must-do exercises after an Achilles tendon rupture 🏀
Returning to basketball after an Achilles rupture isn’t about rushing timelines — it’s about restoring strength, stiffness, and confidence in the tendon.
These are staples we use to bridge rehab → return to sport:
▪️ Double-leg calf raise with controlled eccentric lower
▪️ Soleus raises from a lunge position (game-changing for deceleration)
▪️ Band-assisted pogo jumps to reintroduce elastic loading
Train the tendon. Respect the process. Build it back better.
