Hi All,
After months of a slight, but nagging Achilles pain I decided to take up the physical therapy regimen of eccentric calf drops. From the various sources I've found I planned out my regimen of 3 sets of 15 twice a day. (I started with 3 sets of ten, but moved up to 3x15 after 2 weeks).
I want to make sure that I'm getting as much as I can from this period of physical therapy, so I would appreciate any info. from people who have experience with it. Has anyone gone the full 12 weeks? What did you experience?
I'm in the middle of week 4 right now and I have noticed some improvement -- My Achilles Tendon does not get tender after riding my bike to work (about 2.5 leisurely miles).
I've been massaging a bit to keep my muscles loose and walking or riding my bike daily.
