Achilles heal!
An active support community for people recovering from Achilles tendon rupture can be found at www.achillesblog.com. It’s a blog community where people recovering from Achilles tendon rupture write about their recovery experiences, keep track of their recovery progress, and give and receive support from other people who are going through the same injury/recovery. There is also a central repository of information related to Achilles tendon rupture and rehabilitation.
