This is a classic video demonstrating how Achilles tendon ruptures often occur. This video from the NRL Physio shows Alex Johnston suffering the injury during the South Sydney Rabbitohs match against the Canberra Raiders. The most common story we hear from patients is they feel like someone has kicked them from behind but when they turn around there is nobody there! Achilles tendon ruptures are missed in up to 25% of cases so if you think you might have suffered this injury we would recommend you present to your doctor or physiotherapist as soon as possible!
