Is it tight feeling? I broke my heel and tore the achilles.....in PT first its warm water in whirl pool for 10 minutes, then hands on message for 10, then stretching exercises, then ice.
So warm bath.....do some easy stretches <think heels down> and then up on toes, then ice. Or if you think you injured it Ice is always good to begin.
I'd say the bigger problem would now be strength. Without knowing background, hard to tell, and if it is through the joint if you are the "right age" then could be indication of arthritis.
After RICE, get on a strengthening program, bring your foot a little more home in the stirrup to take some of the load off the tendon and don't force heels down.
If you still have a problem in a month, follow up with a physician.
ok mike, thanks for the advice...i just don't know what RICE is...lol.
my horse is very bouncy so my ankles are a moving when i sit the trot...i try to keep them still but it's a struggle.
