What is the best stretching exercize for the Achilles Tendon?

Answer 1

Stand on a step. Let half of one foot hang over the end of the step. Slowly lower your heel and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat with the other foot. This is the one that works best for me.
Stand with one foot ahead of the other with knee bent. Keep the other leg straight. Lean the bent leg forward and hold the stretch. Switch legs.
The stretch against the wall that the other person mentioned is also a great one. I'd stay away from toe raises though if you are having any problems with your achille's tendons because my physical therapists says that toe raises are an exercise, not a stretch and will make a sore achilles tendon worse.

Answer 2

Stand on one foot and do calf raises about 15 at a time, do 3 sets 2 to 3 times a day. Put both hands on a wall and step back 4 to 5 steps. Put one leg in front of the other and alternate bending the front leg at the knee and the back leg at the knee. Always keep the unbent leg straight. Take a towel and put it underneath your toes. Pull the towel with your toes bunching it as you go. Stand with your back against a wall. Spread your feet shoulder width and step out 1 step. Raise and lower yourself to a 90 degree angle. Take a tennis ball and place it under your arch and simply rotate forward and backwards. If you have tenderness, take a piece of ice and massage your tender area with it.

Answer 3

do not stand on a step and hang your heels down, you have a more than likely chance in pulling/snapping it.
instead
1)Stand facing a wall and put hands on the wall.
Lean toward the wall, one leg forward elbows on wall. Keep your back and your back leg straight with your heel on the floor. (you should feel a stretch in the calf muscle of back leg.) Hold.
Repeat with other leg.

2)sit on the floor with a wall in front of you, press(putting pressure) the ball of your foot against that wall, stretch rolling onto your toes, arching your foot.

3) still sitting take your foot in your hand and grab your toes and pull your toes up to your knee, stop, rotate your foot to the left, hold, twist to the right, hold
