🔎Here is a great dissection that shows how the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles blend into the Achilles tendon and how the tendon is influenced by ankle movement.
🧠During ankle dorsiflexion, we see how the Achilles tendon and calf muscles are put on tension. Then, when the ankle moves into plantarflexion, the tendon and muscles are put on slack.
✅If you are suffering from Achilles tendon issues or a calf strain, I would recommend following the calf and Achilles pain program here in the app. Here is a link for the program.
