Achilles' Tendon Rupture Roundtable


Listen Later

Join us as we talk to Sean Cropper, Head ATC at Atlanta United about his experience with three Achilles tendon ruptures in one season. We dive into the physical and mental toll of such a debilitating injury, and Sean shares his insights on why this might have happened and what warning signs to look for.

In this episode, we'll cover the general timeline for Achilles rehabilitation, key milestones, and benchmarks for recovery. We'll also discuss rehab techniques, from jump tests to plyometric progressions. Sean shares the most valuable lessons he learned during his recovery, including what he would do differently now and the "pearls" he picked up along the way.

Whether you're an athlete, a physical therapist, or someone who's gone through a similar injury, this episode offers a comprehensive look at Achilles tears, recovery, and strategies to prevent future injuries.
