What it is

Understanding achilles repair rehab

After an Achilles tendon rupture and repair, rehabilitation is a long, structured road — typically 9 to 12 months back to sport — and the quality of that rehab is what determines whether you get your push-off power back.

Common symptoms

  • Post-surgical stiffness and calf weakness
  • Significant calf muscle loss on the repaired side
  • Altered walking during and after the boot phase
  • Difficulty with single-leg heel raises
  • Hesitancy returning to running and jumping

Common causes

  • Achilles rupture during push-off, sprinting, or jumping
  • Surgical repair and protected healing timelines
  • Calf deconditioning during immobilization

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

We follow your surgeon's protocol through each phase: protected mobility in the boot, progressive calf loading once cleared, heel-raise strength milestones, then graded return to walking speed, running, and sport-specific power. The single-leg heel raise numbers don't lie — you progress when the strength is genuinely there.
