Last year I endured through chronic achilles tendinitis, basically taking almost 10 months to fully recover (so I thought). 3 months of that time involved not running at all.

This year has proven that I did not fully recover in that I regularly faced stiffness and occasional pain in my achilles. Some where along the lines I also strained my calf and have been ultimately frustrated that this stuff won't go away.

In order to heal these two annoyances I stretch regularly and try not to over do running and other strenuous exercises that pound my achilles further. Basically, I stay active, but not nearly as active as I used to be in terms of continual movement...once again I probably won't be running much at all over the next month or two because my soccer season recently ended.

Are there other exercises that people could recommend? Are there weights routines that can increase the strength of my calf / achilles so that I can move on? ]]> Physical Therapy RunningMan27 http://www.extremefitness.com/forum/physical-therapy/64366-achilles-calf.html
