Thank you Bob and Brad! I’m a runner who has had Achilles woes for 4+ months, improving very slowly, but this past week since I’ve started doing that massage, it’s really turned the corner.
You guys have helped me alleviate pain with different body parts and just wanted to say thank you! I am subscribing right now keep it up! God bless you

I did this stretching for about 2-3 mins a day, 4-5 days a week, for 3 months, now I rarely get the extreme pain, still working on it :) thanks bob and brad!
Thank you . I was Stretching at the gym , I Literally couldn’t walk . I’m like how I was just stretching after a workout . So , I called out of work , made a appointment with a foot doctor 🤦🏾♂️. Something said let me check RUclips, came across you guys page , simple massage for 10 mins .... Now I’m back like nothing happened 🤷🏾♂️. Thank you !!
I have been dealing with this for over a year now and the massage technique really helped. My tendon was actually "thickening" and was visibly noticeable. Once I started using a narrow diameter foam roller on my calf muscle the relief was pretty much immediate. I am actually watching my achilles shrink back to a normal diameter these last 3 weeks. 2-3 times a day I roll the calf 100-150 times with moderate pressure while sitting and it has totally turned the tide. I can't tell you fellows how much I appreciate your advice I only wish I had found this particular video sooner. You guys have so many helpful videos it took me a while to find the "achilles tendonitis" vid that suggested a foam roller, which was the deal-maker for my situation. Thanks a million, gentlemen.
Thank you so much. Your technique was really simple to do and gave me fast, effective relief. The lump caused by my swollen tendon has nearly gone and I've been suffering with this for months. Can't thank you enough.
This has made so much difference. Pain reduced by 80% on the try try. Been doing it for a couple of days now and almost feel back to normal. You legends!! Thank you!!
I love you guys! Y’all have helped me with many injuries! If I barely hurt somewhere I come her so it doesn’t get worse!! A huge THANKS!!❤️
These guys are so awesome! Just great people man!
I have Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis as well as bad knee on same leg. These videos will hekp
Thank you Carl! Hope the videos help :)
Carl Marc have they healed you or has these exercise kept it at bay
Do you still have that leg? 😉
Fellas! I've had achilles tendonitis for about 3 months. I've just started this massage and I can already feel some relief, literally within minutes! Oh my lord, I am so grateful. I love to run and have not been able to run, less a few times, in the past couple months. I will be doing this massage religiously. Thanks guys!
Dude I'm in the same exact situation that you were in, its been 3 months and I need to run as I want to join the military later this year, did yours ever heal up?
@@Optimus1234Prime No it hasn’t gone away 😔. I stretch ALL the time, my calf and achilles. I don’t run very often because of it. The massage effectiveness wore off….I’m at a loss. Very frustrating.
@@ryanleavengood5925 damn dude not what I wanted to hear, how old are you, I'm 23
@@Optimus1234Prime I’m 42. I have lots of sports and 4 years in the military that has lead to this condition though…..
How u doing?
You both really helped me writh this, thank you so much!
I swear you two are psychic. When I get injured, you upload a video about how to fix it within days. You guys are great! Thanks.
Thank you so much! I have spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and I can't get PT ... I was told I need to get worse to get it, and I refuse. So your videos help me do pain relief and as much streching that I can do on my own!
You guys are wizards. I’m doing a work up for an ultra marathon and after a few heavy speed sessions I started developing Achilles pain, all signs pointing to achiles tendinitis. I’ve tried lots of stretching, essential oils, calf massage, a week off running, and nothing worked. 2 months of lingering stiffness and discomfort. Literately did this tendon massage 1 time and the next morning there was NO stiffness and all symptoms were significantly reduced. I’m blown away. Will keep at it and definitely subscribed. Thanks guys!
How could you not love these guys!!! They're the best :)
Of course. They're the two most famous...
Physiotherapists...
On the internet...
Thank you for sharing this. I hurt my Achilles’ tendon in the past ; now it becomes stiff when I sit for awhile. This exercise has been a game changer.
I have had tight and limited range of movement with my achilles for months. I did this yesterday for about a half hour on and off then iced it when I went to bed. I kid you not, my achilles is not tight and my range of movement had improved imminently. Thank you Bob & Brad.
Thank you for recommending the Renpho electric massager. It has done wonders for my calf, and ankles.
Thank you so much! This massage is the only thing that has helped yet!
Thanks for this Bob and Brad. It's really helped me 👍
Thanks for the video guys... you two are a great double act! I had an ultrasound last year when my Achilles tendinopathy was at its worst - it showed a significant tear and a lot of inflammation. I could barely walk and definitely not run or even touch the tendon. As well as doing eccentric calf stretches and gradually increasing the load on my tendon I ended up having deep (painful) massage therapy to my gastroc/soleus + Storz shockwave therapy to my tendon at the Fay Pedler Clinic in Plymouth. It took 5 sessions but it worked and I’m back running!
I ve had ultrasound 3 times per week for 3 weeks, no improvement.any suggestions?
@@windsortravel5833is the ultrasound for something other than a diagnosis?
I have had a recent excruciating recurrence. I just did the side pinch in intro for 2 mins before bed and my goodness! The pain has eased enormously!! Still tender, but will at least sleep well. Will do regularly tomorrow and the stair stretch and hopefully can get back on the skates tomorrow. THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing those information they have been a really big help
Instant relief. I can't believe it! Thanks!
You guys are legends. 💪🏾💯. Thank you for your service.
I love your videos! Would you pretty please consider doing a video on purchasing & using a vibration plate? Preferably one at a reasonable price that will still be effective.
Thank you both very much for your insights. I already have one Achilles tendon that’s 2 to 3 times bigger than it should be from her ankle twist and years later the other ankle has started having problems which caused me to limp and now I’m starting to develop any problems. Hopefully your advice will get me over this and give me back to being able to work out.
Wow, you guys read my mind! I was doing the finger massage on my Achilles tendon and up into my calve and I thought, "Ooo, that gets the areas where things get sore. This would be good to do before I go for a run!" And then you said the same thing.
I suffered for 9 months and had instant and lasting improvement from the massage. It was tender at first, then eased up. Thank you!
good to hear. I started the massage a month ago, it very slowly seems be improving… I hope for a complete recovery. This is really stunted my usual runs and walks, and I'm pretty sick of it. I ignored it for too long…
Wondering how yours has been the last five months since you wrote this comment. Have you tried to massager that they mentioned in this video?
Thanks guys. Right on time.
Thanks, really appreciate this video
Woke with a cramped AT .... 5 minutes of massage and the PurWave fixed it 👍👍👍
Matt
I had a boxing match this Saturday, and sort of had a slight pain in my right ankle this weekend, then I took a long run on monday, then the day after that, I was walking up the stairs at school and just got this pain even more, these helped me a lot!
How’s your Achilles now?
I had been actually very uncomfortable with my left foot because of Achilles tendonitis. So this video is like' God sent' for me. Thanks Bob and Brad.
H K did it work?
Thanks Guys. Awesome Video 😀
You guys are the best!
you guys are the best thank you!
I’ve had issues with mine for couple years , I will give you an update on these massage techniques. Great advice thank you
What's your update? Have you tried the manual massage, have you tried the massager they recommend? Any new results? Thank you.
Came for the Achilles cure, stayed for the PT's . Awesome channel.
Thank you so much
thank you so much!!!
I stopped running because of Achilles tendonitis and put on 12 kg. I will give this a go. Thank you!
Eoin O'Carraigne same I have been undiagnosed since January.
Thank you guys! 🙏
Thanks for sharing
So thankful I found ur pg... my physical therapist never thought me this at all
Glad we could help.
Wow before I saw this video I was massaging where it hurts more above and below the area you told me to go for.. but that hollow spot did the trick immediately! Thank you so much
You guys are awesome 🙏🏼☺️
That’s probably the best intro I’ve seen yet
excellent video thank you bob and brad for your very educational and informative videos every day 👍
This video gets a like just for that incredible intro, and now I’m subscribed
I was feeling down about my Achilles injury but you guys made me feel better and laugh at the end there 😂
Thank you so much!!!
Everyine I massage and sleep, pain gets worse!! Thanks Bob and Brad!
recieved injection to achilles, and physical therapy and this video helped 100x I feel relief!
Thank you so much for this video. I just started getting pain in my Achilles Tendon. I can't afford treatment from a professional, but I can do self treatment. I need to be able to dance again soon, so I'll be doing this with R.I.C.E. a few times per day. I'm pretty sure based on research that it will get better soon since I don't have any of the bad symptoms indicating a rupture, just over use. Now I will be using my foam roller daily to fix it and prevent it in the future. Thank you!!!
Thanks gents. True gold.
I love the Bob and Brad chemistry
I started going for a daily 8km walk straight after lockdown. After 5 days, woke up limping. Couldn’t even put my heel on the ground. 1st day has to literally limp and walk on toe. Did some icing a couple of times. Second day started the massage that was painful in the first few minutes but it subsided afterwards. 3rd day did some more massage using a massage machine. Feeling much better. Hope it will completely heal in week time. The massage actually helps alot.
Thank you so much doctor
I did the massage on my Achilles tendons while watching the video and already have relief and a small improvement in mobility. Definitely going to keep this up. Thank you!
Gentlemen, I adore your videos and find them quite helpful. What would you recommend for gastrocnemius tendinitis lateral aspect. The flexion on my right stifle is decreased from an accident I had a good 20 years ago where I fractured my fibula and tibia at the joint. I have not been able to get the anterior aspect of my stifle to extend whereby the back of my knee touches the ground.
You guys are great!!! This has been very helpful.
If chronic: Eccentric exercises. Start 20x/day to 150x after 3 months (three sessions a day), continue for up to 1 year. After that reduce, but never stop. This is what really helps.
Thank you!
I stepped in a gopher hole and my achilles hurt really bad. I passed the Thompson test but couldnt walk far for two months and have a slight bump on the back of my heel now. Now some days are better than others which means I am making progress. I hope. I'll give this a shot.
Excellent
I bought you massage gun and using it on my Achilles’ tendon. The knot is getting smaller and I feel like it is a little stronger. Thank you for your help
Bob & Brad: you're awesome, thanks for all the really useful help!
Samantha did it work?!
Old staff.. realistic needs to get out from fibrosis, muscles needs treatments not stupid things.....needs to realise joints from compression....🤑🙉🤑✌😅
Eight week.... EIGHT WEEKS since my ice arena got shot down by corona and this pain started. I've just started doing the last one and rubbing my tendon an it immediately feels better, THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! :,O
thanks gang
thanks so much
I’m a dancer and had a little bit of pain in my Achilles. The message worked amazingly!
all the pain is gone now ?
Love these very smart and nice guys.❤️
I’ve had Achilles tendinitis for about 5 years. I used to be a runner. I don’t have a tear or any bulging of the tendon. But I can’t go up too many stairs without feeling soreness the next day. I also enjoy cycling. But I can’t cycle more than 20mins (on flats) without feeling it the next day. I know I haven’t healed yet probably because I haven’t continued doing healdowns consistently. I’m going to try this pinching technique and get back to more routine stretching exercises.
NOTE:
I’d really like it if everyone who commented would provide a status update on how they’re doing weeks and months later. It’s great to know that they felt relief immediately after trying this suggested pinching techniques. But how are they doing now? So you need to continue using the technique forever even after feeling better?
Thanks to all for your comments.
As a runner....thnx
@bob and Brad: can u guys do a video specifically on Achilles insertional tendinopathy? I hear these exercises are not for the insertional type
Tried the calf and hollow place massage on my husband and he felt a huge difference after the first time.
Xoxoxooxox
Wow, I have some Achilles tendinitis in both legs, and the finger massaging really helps. If I don’t do it the evening before, I really feel it coming down the stairs in the morning. But if I spend a few minutes the evening before doing the finger massaging, I have no pain, or almost no pain (my right one still hurts a bit, but I think that is because I am massaging it with my left hand, which is my weaker/non-dominant hand).
I sprained my ankle over 3 months ago (an eversion sprain) and found this video. Which helped me pinpoint and understand the reason behind the lingering pain. Can the lingering pain from a few months ago be completely healed by doing this? Or, is this something that should have be done much closer to the time of the injury? It is very tender after the cross fiber massage. Just wondering if there is hope for less lingering pain if i continue these options. Thanks Love your videos, Keep up the outstanding work!
Sometimes when I am laying down I use the big toe to add pressure to my the sides instead of my fingers works the same and is much better at pinching.
I do this too 😊
Walking on concrete for the last 6 to 7 months . I thought it might be arthritis but as you stated the massaging has helped also hot water bottle with linement .
I have been told that it will a long period of time before it returns or seems normal. Question ice Heat combination of both with massaging with stretches once comfortable
Hi Bob & Brad, love your channel. I am looking for exercises to correct my daughter's toe-walking. Her paediatrician has assessed her toe walking as physical and not neurological and advised us that she needs physio exercises. What would you suggest. Thanks Shane and Michelle
Thanks guy. Just found you so I haven’t done your massage technique except for now while watching. My pain is extreme and lower than the areas you show. My pains is on the very back of my heel, about an inch up from the very bottom. Any tips for that.
Would these massage and stretching techniques also help with calcification of the Achilles?
amazing guys
Bob, Brad i need help pronto. I get nasty charley horses on my left calf and i wish i could upload pics so u could see i have a bruise on the area where i get the charley horse. I had an ultrasound to check for a blood cloth but nothing. My doc cant explain why is my calf getting bruise the way is. Options ?? Please help me out.
been suffering from achilles tendonitis for years
woke up with very stiff achilles every day and would have to crab-walk for a few minutes to loosen them up
after a single day of doing cross friction massage, the sniffness disappeared
thanks!
sounds like a tendinopathy to me. There are some more specific exercises out there for long-term injuries you might want to investigate for that condition. I'm still working on mine, but I'll be giving the cross friction massage a go for definite. as with all these things though, it's worth getting a professional opinion and working within the domain of what feels safe and comfortable.
I just returned to work for 4 days after being on disability.. I was squatting and had to pull a string/rope.. I hurt my knee very badly.. I could not stand on it, or straighten my leg etc.. I am now in physical therapy for it, they did an xray said spacing looks good, but I have yet had an MRI.. I can tell you the inside of my knee has tightness, and right now a little bit of pain here and there.. It's now been a little over 1 week... I finally can walk some without crutches.. BUT on day 4 after this happened. I was using my crutches, I stepped off a curb and went a little to quickly, and when I did my foot went down and caught myself on my toes.. I felt instant SHARP pain in the back where the archilles tendon is... very sharp..taking steps after that hurt.... I wanted to cry, , now my other foot/leg is hurt.. not every step was hurting,, and it seemed to kind of to not be as a stabbing pain, kind of going away,, but in therapy they had me on my toes, and I felt the sharp stabbing pain again,, then again today did it again, and it really hurt,, now after sleeping and waking up,, I needed to go to the bathroom, and it was sharp and stabbing pain trying to get up and walk,, I don't know what to think.. Could it be a rupture, a tear?? the major pain is when I am on my tip toes.and seemed to really aggravate it... I'm not sure what to do... please help me..
Thanks
Y'all r too much 😂 How about the nub?
Marcus and Liz r having fun too. Awesome team.
Thanks for posting this, much appreciated.
I thank you from the depth of my calf❤️💞..... You guys are the best!!!😁🤗
Will this help or be a safe option for Achilles’ tendon pain possibly due to the medication Cipro? I took 4 pills for an infection 5 months ago with no side effects. But the past month I’ve had some mild pain and discomfort in both tendons, I’ve never had issues before. I’m assuming it’s from the Cipro but I can’t see a dr right now. So would these remedies be safe to try?
Ive had this for about 2 years. Now the pain actually moved down from the achilles tendon itself and are centred at one side of the heel. You can both see and feel that there is a "lump" on the side. Just under the achilles tendon and to the side.
Any suggestions for this?
Try stretching while at work but half mot long enough. On my feet or 6.5 hrs a day seems to stiffen up when I do sit down for lunch
I just want to walk again 😭
Same here!
Never related so much
Same here inserional pain both feet for a year 😭
I can't help every one, but try to find out what's fibrosis...find specialist who treat trigger points and fibrosis....who understanding biomechanics...
James Barker how’s it now? What have you been doing?
I am hoping this works! (Aside, I watched the video with the sound off, and you both made me laugh out loud.)
The “Hammer” setting?
This awesome is DOPE!
How do you naturally reduce the chronic inflammation after you’ve had the condition for years? Ice dipping the joint several times a day? My full tendon is involved (half way up the calf). I’m using a Crosstrap Achilles strap to help isolate the Achilles so I can now actually stretch my calf w/o the Achilles instantly preventing it. So I can now work on stretching my full posterior chain but I’m trying to find a good way to reduce the inflammation naturally (w/o anti-inflammatories). Would taking collagen help?
