Those who go to the extreme also live with more risks. As an extreme mountaineer, it is a constant rush to push one`s own limits upwards. The sight of the mountains inspires awe in me. I know that every step a little further up determines my death. The tear in my Achilles tendon was a real defeat. I will never forget the bang. It was important for me to prepare for the next mountain climb directly after the operation. At the Center for Integrative Medicine and Pain Therapy I started with laser therapy to accelerate scar healing and continued muscle building in TRINICUM training. With targeted exercises, I have strengthened my muscles and tendons again, so that today I can once again walk paths that hardly anyone has walked before.
Judith: Climbing peaks makes me happy again!
Training plan
Complaints
ruptured Achilles tendon
improve postoperative status
Medical history
Loss of strength in the affected leg
general muscle loss
Trinicum goals
Muscle building of the affected side and specific calf training
Improvement of strength endurance and power of the lower extremity and trunk
Stretching
Improvement of coordination sensomotoric
Improvement of endurance
Trinicum training recommendation
1) leg axis training: targeted muscle building of the lower extremity on equipment
2) free-weight exercise: muscle building and coordination of the lower extremity and trunk
3) sensorimotor training on various unstable surfaces (bosu ball, slag line, cushion)
4) endurance training with the bicycle, later running training
In order to reach the patient`s goal, the training should be built up carefully and last for about 1 year, so that the body can be loaded 100% again. The first three months strength training of the surrounding structures plus flexibility training is necessary. After that, intensive strengthening of the leg muscles and the rest of the body begins. In the last months, the Achilles tendon can be heavily loaded.
Goals of the Trinicum Motorik-Test:
Minimizing imbalance as well as building trunk stability and lower extremity strength, coordination and mobility must be increased from 40% to over 80% to achieve the goal.
We look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to advise you!
