Achilles injury
I play football 2x a week, I have recently had an injury in my foot which won’t allow me to play football. The injury is above my heel at the back of my right foot. I know this is the Achilles however I can stand on my tiptoes and walk fine. Only when I play football and kick with a loose foot or land awkwardly do I feel it resulting in pain and not being able to kick the ball properly. I had left this for a month and recently started playing but the injury has returned. How long am I out for?

Wall calf stretch
⢠Stand about two feet away from a wall. Place the ball of your right foot against the wall while your heel remains on the ground. Slowly and gently lean into the wall while keeping your knee straight. Hold this for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times twice a day.
⢠Downward dog yoga stretch
⢠Get down on all fours with your hands under your shoulders on the floor. Walk your hands forward slightly on the floor. Spread your fingers apart to allow for a broad base of support. Push your hips up toward the ceiling and tighten your abdominal muscles. Keep your heels on the ground and gently try and straighten your knees. Hold this for the 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times twice a day
