Your Achilles tendon and calf need to be prepared for the activities you want to do!

As a physical therapist, I’ve seen plenty of people go from being inactive for years to suddenly playing pickleball, running, jumping, and cutting at 100% intensity.

That’s usually when calf strains, ankle injuries, and even Achilles ruptures can happen.

It’s not that these activities are bad, it’s that your body may not be ready for those demands just yet.

Ease into it. Build calf strength. Progress your jumping and landing. Let the Achilles adapt before you go full send.

If you’re dealing with an ankle injury or want help building a stronger, more resilient lower body, send me a DM with the word ANKLE

Strong knees aren’t built with just mini bands and basic PT drills

They’re built with real strength training through the hips, quads, hamstrings, and ankles.

These are a few of my go to exercises to help build resilient knees for injury prevention and better performance. Not an exhaustive list, just a solid place to start.

Load smart. Move well. Progress gradually.
