Marching on Your Toes Exercise For Achilles Tendon Physical Therapy

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Monica and I am going to show you another exercise you can do for your Achilles tendon and calf muscles. It's a little bit more of a functional exercise than some of the other ones that you have been doing before. This one actually is going to be marching on your toes. You are going to want to first come up on your toes. If you need to have a wall next to you or a counter in front to make sure you don’t lose your balance that is fine too, so you are going to come up on your toes and then just going to march on your toes back and forth right like this. So nothing fancy, just want to try and stay on your toes basically. When you start off doing it, you might only be able to do it for 15-20 seconds, then you can work your way up 30 seconds, 45 seconds and a minute. But again you start feeling like you are falling down, your heels are falling, try and get right back up on your toes again. You want to be nice and high as you are doing it, back and forth, nice and simple, one right over the other. You can start going forward and back. If you want to do stuff like that or to the side or just simply right back like this.
