Stretching Achilles tendon?

Question

I have a compacted Achilles tendon somehow, And it hurts like h**l to stretch it. Maybe i'm pushing myself to hard. But i'd like to start MMA but i don't want to hurt myself.

Can anyone give me some ideas on how to stretch it back out and maybe increase over all flexibility?

Also i know i should stretch cause those are doctors orders, Just need to know how.

Answer 1

roll it over a can of vegetables back and forth.  But if it hurts in an extreme way, stop.  Rolling it will warm it up to movement.
