Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Avoid doing exercise.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Achilles tendon strain needs proper rest to heal. Any exercise of the injured tendon will cause pain and difficulty in healing. It is best to use an elastic bandage or brace around the strained area for rest and healing. Taking oral anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
