Achilles - Articles

Good Morning! Happy Monday. Tomorrow is my NPTE Boards exam and I could not be more happy to finish studying and take this test. It has been a GRIND.

With that being said, I have articles about achilles ruptures, a popular topic of injury in the NFL. In my second clinical rotation I did an inservice on achilles ruptures in the NFL and my research debunked the turf vs grass argument. But below are some articles I used for that research.

Next week, we will be back to our regular scheduled newsletters breaking down the off season programming for football players.

*The injuries discussed in this newsletter are for general educational purposes only. I am not affiliated with the athlete’s medical team, and the information shared does not reflect any insider or team medical details. Specifics about the injury are often unavailable, which can significantly influence the estimated timeline for return to play.
