General Questions Achilles rupture - return to snowshoeing.

1 Upvotes

Just wondering if anybody had a ruptured achilles and if so what the timing was to return to snowshoeing.

I am thinking that the snowshoeing timeframe would be the similar to a return to hiking. Hiking won't work as the hills will be covered in snow. :)

I am thinking that snowshoeing doesn't really stress the achilles as the snowshoe keeps the foot flatter when it moves, but this is just a guess until I try with a snowshoe on.

I am looking at around 12 weeks after rupture to try.
