Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries in active adults over 40 — and one of the easiest to treat the wrong way. So here's the exact rehab plan I'd follow if I got it myself.
I'm Dr. Saller, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. In this video I walk through how I'd approach my own Achilles tendinopathy step by step: how to tell which type of Achilles pain you have, what to do first to calm the tendon down, the strength work that actually rebuilds it, and the one rule I'd use to guide every session. No sponsorships, no brand deals — just the plan, in the order I'd actually do it.
What I cover:
Why midportion and insertional Achilles pain aren't the same problem
A 30-second self-check to tell which one you have
How to calm the tendon down without shutting it down
The isometric and heavy strength work with the best evidence behind it
The insertional modification that keeps you from making it worse
The pain rule that tells you if you're doing too much
This video is general education, not medical advice, and not a substitute for being examined. If your pain is severe, changing, or not improving, get it evaluated.
