The Achilles tendon is small, powerful, and—when irritated—very good at reminding you it’s unhappy. Whether your discomfort showed up gradually or followed an increase in activity, one thing is consistently true: this tendon needs the right kind of load to recover.
Rest alone rarely solves Achilles issues long term. What actually helps is progressive loading—challenging the tendon in a way that signals it to adapt, strengthen, and tolerate stress again. When done correctly, loading helps restore confidence in movement and supports healthier tissue over time.
In this week’s video, you’ll see how Achilles loading progresses through different phases. Each phase serves a specific purpose. Early loading focuses on building tolerance and reducing sensitivity. As capacity improves, slower, heavier challenges help develop strength and resilience. Finally, dynamic loading prepares the tendon for real-life demands like walking faster, running, or jumping.
None of these phases are about pushing through sharp pain or “no pain, no gain.” Instead, the goal is controlled stress—enough to stimulate adaptation without overwhelming the tissue. This is especially important because the Achilles plays a major role in storing and releasing energy with every step you take.
If your Achilles has felt stiff in the morning, sore after activity, or hesitant to trust, this progression matters. It bridges the gap between being careful and being confident again.
Watch the video to better understand why loading works, how it supports recovery, and what it looks like when done intentionally. Knowledge is a powerful step toward feeling more capable in your body.
