How do I quickly recover from a calf and achilles injury?


I seem to "pull" my calf muscles more than usual. I am 39 yrs old and do Martial Arts and distance run. I "pulled" my calf at a tournament. Let that heal for 2 weeks and started running again. After 11 miles though, I think because I changed my gate so as not to use the calf much (heal down on landing), my achilles tendon started to give out. I need to heal quickly and get back to training. Any ideas?

unfortunatly there is no quick heel with achillies problems. Im just a bit concerned that you may rupture it which will then require surgery. my best advice for now is to do some GENTLE stretching and put an ice pack on it for 20 mins every 3 to 4 hours

there's no quick heal all you can do is rest it and have some work on it by your local physio
