Recovery Times for Achilles Tendonitis - The Factors that Influence It

Recovery times for Achilles tendonitis can be a matter of weeks, or it can take years, depending on the specific case. In this video, Maryke discusses nine factors that can have an influence on how long it will take you to recover from your Achilles injury. She also gives expected recovery times for best-case, typical case, and worst-case scenarios and cautions that recovery from this injury is not always a straight-line process - there will probably be setbacks along the way.
