Hi. I found that going to "the knowledge" at peak performance online (I don't have the URL handy but you can get there via your favorite search engine) is helpful. Bascially, what they give you is a series of "negative resistance" toe raise exercises which can knock out achilles tendonitis rather quickly. Basically, one goes to a set of steps and, while keeping the "bad leg" on a lower step, step onto the next step with the good leg. Go up on your toes of your bad leg. Then SLOWLY lower your body while putting all of your weight on your bad leg. Repeat for 3 sets of 10; quit if the pain gets debilitating.

These worked great for me.
