Here we are at week 14 post Achilles tendon rupture and going well. The tendon is now healed and only becoming stronger and more mobile every week. Fortunately this patient is very good at doing his exercises, with a dose of daily stationary bike which helps this process immensely. The best gains can be made with simple consistency. 

This week the mobility, strengthening and stability exercises progress to:
1. Gastroc (long calf) stretches on step
2. Soleus (short calf) stretches on chair 
3. Eccentric Calf Raise (aim for greater than 75% load)
4. Eccentric soleus calf raise
5. Tibialis anterior raises
6. One leg balance of a BOSU
7. Star excursion test advanced compass

At this stage the program is also filled with Body-weight squats, Lunges - careful with these on the back foot, light romanian deadlifts light, single leg step downs and one leg ball squats.

Lots to do - get cracking but always stay cautious in this month.
