Achilles tendon exercise. Illustration of an exercise used to stretch the Achilles tendon (blue) and associated muscles (red). This involves standing on the front of the feet on a step, and standing up and down on the toes. The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body. It joins the calf muscles to the heel bone in the foot. Damage to the tendon can range from inflammation and strain, to a complete rupture. | |
