Stride is the recovery companion for Achilles tendon rupture. Personalized to your surgery date, your stage, and your goals — and built to keep showing up on the days the clinic doesn't.
The average post-op surgeon visit. A handful of generic instructions, a PDF, a follow-up scheduled in six weeks. Then the door closes.
The window your tendon needs to rebuild. Boot transitions, weight-bearing milestones, exercises that change every two weeks, and the daily question you can't text your surgeon at 11 p.m.
Ninety seconds. Stride builds your personal recovery timeline around the calendar — surgical or conservative, partial weight-bearing or full, athlete or weekend runner.
What's happening inside your tendon today. What's safe and what isn't. The exercises that match your stage. A note from people in the same week of recovery.
No chatbot to interrogate. When something matters — a boot transition, a milestone test, a swelling change — Stride brings it up. You answer when you want.
Stride knows what Week 3 looks like and what Week 18 looks like — and adjusts every exercise, every cue, every milestone to where you actually are.
Plain-language updates on what your tendon can take. The exercises that help. The ones that set you back. The signs that should make you call.
A small cohort of people whose surgery date is within a few days of yours. The questions you don't want to ask your surgeon, somebody else already asked.
Stride brings up boot transitions, weight-bearing changes, and progression tests before you have to remember them. No chatbot to interrogate.
A typical PT visit is one hour. Recovery has 168 of them in a week. Stride is the other 167 — the practice that doesn't have a session number.
It isn't talked about much. You go from running, lifting, walking your kid to school — to a boot, a couch, and a calendar that suddenly looks empty. Stride won't fix that on its own. But seeing the next small step every morning, and knowing other people are walking the same week, helps more than people expect.
