Went out and bought a rolling pin today and this has already taken the tightness out of my achilles and up to the outside side of my ankle just above the ball. I have been having problems for over a year and two physios and a chiropractor have failed to acheive anything other than some small relief. Very excited will keep you posted.
I have had Achilles tendonitis since may, had pain killers can't do anything like massage it's far too tender n sore for anything to touch it, got to have a scan coz it may be ruptured
@PTexxVids I have exactly thesame problem and want to be fit for this season... I really hope this works. When did you start feeling a change and did you do anything else that you think may have helped you.
I tried this the other day. The 2nd time I tried it I think it did some good. The 1st time I tried it I could not even put my tendon on the rolling pin. The pain was so intense from just placing it on there.
Ah thanks a lot! I've been trying to get back into shape and loose the "New Dad" pounds and managed to procure achilles tendonitis, this has helped a lot!
The obvious question here is this: Is there any benefit to doing this if you are not having any Achilles issues, as a preventative routine? With the rolling back and forth, it looks like a good short workout for the shoulders and core as well.
@clavdivsAD15 In short: yes. This stretches out the tight muscle above the weaker potential break point. If the muscle stays loose, you will never put the kind of pressure on the tendon that would cause a tear, or the micro-tears associated with tendinitis. If you have a hard foam roller, you can use that, as well, and it's a little more comfortable, but still seems to do the job.
I found that constant pinching massage and ultrasound treatment did it for me; quick fix; only took about a year.....

PM me if your achilles is NOT ruptured. I've had achilles tendonitis for around 9 months. It's on the verge of healing.
