Nice video. Finally someone is thinking about what happens after week 12. Good content.

Thank you for this great overview of recovery pathways / timelines. I had surgical repair on my left Achilles Tendon yesterday and am trying to understand what the road ahead might look like. This is a great video.

Very helpful thank you! As a new graduate physio trying to navigate recommendations and individual needs, there isn't a lot of info out there. So useful, cheers!

Great content Tom!!

Great Video Thank you so much It will help me a lot with my atr

What do you think about limiting out of boot active plantar flexion into week 6? Lots of protocols start this at week 3 as long as not past neutral dorsiflexion

Not true

you present content as if 'protocols' can apply to all people who walk into hospital. sorry but spreading a lot of information but that is not clearly structured, and lots of 'general statements' maybe you could start by having 2 parts of the video: people who practice sports and want to stay active / and the rest (they were never too active) conservative approach does not bring back previous performance. actually 30% less power and function vs. before rupture. surgery (mostly) does bring back almost 100% previous power and function and it's preferred by most athletes. top athletes take 8 EIGHT months minimum to restore performance and in some cases to return to competitive sports. maybe a link to Kobe Bryant recovery video could clarify this. the 'protocols' you show here are based approaches that are applied to people who do not really practice regular sports. they probably just want to return to what they were doing before - but certainly not running 5K a week.
