Sports Rehab after Achilles Rupture Surgery

Yesterday I had surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and in a couple of weeks I’ll meet with the surgeon to remove the cast, get a boot, and setup rehab two weeks afterwards.

I’m a 48 year old very active and competitive male. I run 5ks and had a realistic goal of 1:05 in Hyrox at the end of 2026.

My question is what do I look for in a therapist and facility? What credentials am I looking for? What questions should I ask? I’m not looking just to walk and jog but push me back to where I was (I know it’ll take me about a year). I’m in Houston and one of the places has a non gravity treadmill. I have my nutrition dialed in.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
