It's natural to think that the more you exercise and the harder you push your rehab exercises, the quicker your injury will heal ... but that is unfortunately not the case. If you progress your Achilles rehab exercises too quickly, you will very likely end up flaring your tendon pain back up. In this video, Maryke explains why you have to take your time and how to safely progress your rehab.
