Why can’t you strengthen a tendon
In: 39
As someone who damaged his Achilles tendon a little while ago – you certainly can increase their strength, but it does take time. It took about 6 weeks before I could walk any distance, but 6 months before I didn’t feel any discomfort.
The physio gave me a series of exercises to rebuild the strength of the tendon after it had healed – mostly resistance training, as stated elsewhere. The tendon on the damaged side is now noticeably thicker than on the other.
