What to do if i sprained my achilles tendon twice! is there an exercise that can help restrengthen it?

Must be healed 1st: My general rule of thumb is to make sure there is an end to inflammation. The inflammation causes damage in itself. Once things have subsided a strengthening, stretching program can be instituted. If the inflammation of the tendon is not treated, the injury can become worse and even end up in a rupture. Diagnostics such as MRI are pretty significant in achilles tendon injuries, .
