  • Very Interesting!!!

  • obvious result. he wasnt training for a long time.

  • @octopielol I'm interested in why you say "obvious result"! Are you suggesting that being unfit - for his level - has contributed to the injury? If that was the case then why are there not thousands of these injuries with less fit people who take part in sport? I think I know what you suggest but can you see what I'm saying?

  • You sound like Sir Alex Ferguson

  • @isaiahledz He comes from the same part of the world - Glasgow. That's why we sound similar to you. Where are you from?

  • @diyinjuryrehab Oh I see. So you must be Scottish? I'm from California.

  • @isaiahledz Loads of Scots in California - even a Caledonian Society in San Francisco I see - Highland Games on Sept 1 & 2nd

  • how can you prevent this from happening ?

  • @mm23xcv that's THE big question. I would suggest that you need to keep your calf muscles in tip-top condition. Lots of Eccentic Exercises appear to be the way to go on that one. In addition you need to have balanced trunk and hip muscles controlling your back and hip area. Your hip rotators need to be functioning well along with your Glutes. I seem to be saying that there are local (lower leg) and central (low back/pelvic/hip) that all need to be working as well together as possible!

  • @diyinjuryrehab do you know where I can find streches to prevent an injury such as this ? I play soccer and I don't want to risk my future in the sport with it

  • @mm23xcv I have a couple of videos on my channel

    For a stretch - Calf Muscle Stretching - Best Calf Stretch Exercise

  • @mm23xcv For strengthening your Achilles try

    There are also a couple of quick and dirty videos titled "The Best Calf Exercise" and a "progression" which will strengthen your gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

  • @mm23xcv , its football not soccer you american cunt

  • Same here, totally same feeling. Now I walk during football matches and just kick penalties or free kicks :)

  • I tore my left Achilles tendon during a dance rehearsal. I had a good surgeon, but I don't think it will ever be 100%. Every once is a while I feel some pain and stress. It's as if the tendon is saying, "Don't push it. Give it a rest." My left calf remains a a full 1/2" thinner than the right. I'm just glad I can walk but I don't risk running or jumping.

  • A torn achilles is usually because of chronic injury to the achilles and the athlete does not rest it and let it heal so it eventually snaps.

    Is that right?

  • @Roshe1888 that can happen yes, however sportspeople with no previous history of Achilles problems develop a tear as well. You could argue that there is some breakdown of the structure of the tendon before the final snap and this was asymptomatic. In Beckham's case it may just be that he applied exactly the wrong force at exactly the wrong time to produce a stress that his Achilles could not cope with?

  • @diyinjuryrehab Possibly yeah, obviously you would be guessing but do you think that is what happened or do you think maybe he did have problems but tried to be 'professional' and play on?

    Just wandering as I have read that the achilles is usually ruptured when pushing off hard on the toes or suddenly bending the foot upwards and he doesn't appear to do any of these

  • I tore ligaments in my ankle three months ago and it was a sharp pain. Hurt like crap. I heard this is terribly painful and a lot worse than mine. Ouch.

  • awesome video. very informative!

  • wait, so, normaly, even if u have ur heal of the ground and knee bent, the tendon wont tear right ? coz sometimes, when i play football, well, after, my achilles tendon hurts when i poke it, or squeeze it slightly... but sometimes, it doesnt hurt at all

  • @stones967 occasional pain is not a problem as long as it doesn't last. Do the exercises regularly to keep your calf / Achilles in top condition

  • how do you Prevent a tear or injury if im a soccer player??????

  • @stones967 Not an easy question to answer! If you are not as fit as you should be then getting fitter and stronger calves helps. However a lot of these injuries happen to elite sportsmen and women who are exceptionally fit. Taking care not to develop a mild problem in your Achilles is probably the main thing. Regular exercises to keep your Achilles healthy might be the key - try these "achilles-tendon-repair-with-t­he-best-achilles-rehab-exercis­e" on my site

  • @diyinjuryrehab Hi, Gratz from Argentina. I´m Pablo, i´m an ex former Vlleyball Player and Trainer and Phisical Ed Professor, i have some inquiries (sorry my english is not too good) and i love to receive an answer of those if u can. First one, on Atlhetes that develop activities on Hard floor, like basket, volley, hard tennis floor and others, can u say that they are more risk to suffer that?, We (cause im one of those players) suffer of Periostitia periodicly) >>>>

  • Is not a recidieve injure, but is specific of hard floor sports, (inflamation of outside part of the bone on Tibia and perone). but i mean achilles injury is about a biomechanical provoked oversized movement ( im not taking in count weakness for previous injury) can u tell me if hard floors can Increase the risk of suffer it, 4 the stress or weakness or inflamation of it, thanks and ill hope u understand what i just write, See ya

  • @yamipablo Hi Pablo you're English is much better than my Spanish!! Hard surfaces can cause Achilles problems and especially lower leg muscle pain and periostitis at their attachments to the Tibia. I believe that change of surface after regularly playing / training for a while and then changing is more of a risk factor of Achilles Tendinopathy. All the indoor sports that you describe - Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis all invalve sharp acceleration and deceleration forces on the lower leg >>>>

  • @yamipablo >>> and I think it these high forces that need to be 'absorbed' by the muscles and joints (especially the Achilles) which lead to the injury. Be very careful changing your training surface - Hard to Soft can be just as dangerous. When you change surface take a step back in the intensity of exercise for a short period and get used to the new surface. With hard floors shock absorbing insoles will be of some slight benefit.

  • @diyinjuryrehab Wow thanks a lot 4 the quick answer, and sorry cause my comment is ripped in 2 parts cause i make a mistake at writing it, But Really I love your anwer cause a lot of "bone"doctors (traumatologist here) really as I learn on University, dont take in count the trauma factor which taking part on the injury, like movement analisis and enviroment involved on that, Really it was a great explanation and really u take me out some doubts about how that happens, Ty a lot, an i love to >>>

  • Responder a este video...  join your channel if its possible, And really I just want to say u must be a Great professional at medicine, and also probabbly a natural teacher, and those things makes u a real human Doctor, thanks 4 that.
