Achilles Tendon Rupture, Non-Surgical Recovery | Week 3: Day 16, Exercises Begin

Week 3 of my Achilles tendon rupture rehabilitation. On Day 12 I had some slight ability to point my foot, and then on Day 16 the physio cleared me to start walking around with protected weight bearing on my right leg (in a moon boot). The tendon healing process is amazing... At this point, I was pointing my foot regularly for rehab, which was in stark contrast to the day I ruptured the Achilles and had no ability to point the foot at all. Having the ability to stand on both legs without crutches was also a gift in itself, allowing me to do many more things that were practically impossible on one leg.
