More Ankle Exercise for the Achilles Tendon

Video Transcript

This Achilles tendon exercise that we are going to be doing is very similar to the other one we just did except instead of just going up and down, we are going to actually be doing circles. So you can kind of imagine your toes are trying to move in a circle, just nice and simple. You want to make the circles big and full as possible without pain. If you have to do a smaller circle, that is fine. Again, this just kind of activates your calf muscles which in turn are going to be pulling on the Achilles tendon. You want to make sure you go both directions; again, nice and slow as big as you can without pain. Start off trying 30 seconds worth of this each way and then you can go to a minute, 2 minutes and even more if this becomes easy for you. It is just a nice simple motion. Make sure that Achilles tendon is kind of moving, sliding along where it needs to be and again don’t forget this direction and the other so clockwise and counterclockwise.
