Crash & Comeback 🚀
Family Olympics relay race: I sprint off - Bam. Like someone kicked me in the legs. But nobody was there. I grab my foot - that's it. The Achilles tendon was torn.
Hey, I'm Marco 👋
Male, 29 years old and love being outdoors.
After my Achilles tendon rupture, I searched the web in vain for real rehab tips.
Now I'm documenting every step: from surgery to complete recovery.
