achilles issues are obviously a HUGE problem in gymnasts. while there isn’t any one magical exercise that can get rid of achilles pain, strengthening your hamstrings is a great place to start. oftentimes, you can have achilles problems bc you’re overusing your calves and NOT using your hamstrings (and glutes) enough. hamstrings are an area that is often weak in gymnasts, which can contribute to achilles problems + low back and knee injuries. there are usually many factors that go into why one spot hurts and that’s why having someone who understands your sport + body is so beneficial!

@builtbyborda has excellent prehab programs, strengthening exercises, and more that focus on the gymnast’s body. link in bio for more of her prehab exercises!
