A complete rupture of the achilles tendon is a serious injury and rehabilitation should be a very gradual process taking 6 to 9 months. The following guidelines are for information purposes only. We recommend seeking professional advice from a registered Physiotherapist before attempting any self treatment. Aim of rehabilitation 1. To allow the tendon to heal, reducing pain swelling and inflammation. 2. To restore the tendon and muscles to their original flexibility and strength. 3. To gradually return to normal activity and training levels.
