Who we are

Rehab that gets you back, built by a clinician who trains athletes.

Restride was started by Aarron Martyn, a certified athletic therapist and strength and conditioning coach in Edinburgh. Every plan follows published research and is written to be followed without a clinic visit.

    Is it right for you?

    It fits if

    • The pain built up over days or weeks.
    • It’s stiff first thing, then eases as you warm up.
    • You can walk normally and do a few calf raises.

    Get seen first if

    • It started with a sudden snap or a kicked feeling.
    • You’ve had Achilles surgery or a rupture.
    • Your calf is hot, red or swollen, or you feel unwell.

    Restride plans are general education, not a diagnosis, and don’t replace an assessment.

    Questions

    Before you start.

    Do I need a gym?

    Not at first. Stages 1 and 2 need a wall, a step and a dumbbell or loaded backpack. From Stage 3 you’ll want heavier weights.

    How long does it take each day?

    About 25 minutes in Stage 1 and around 35 minutes on strength days later, plus the 2-minute morning check.

    Are there videos?

    Yes. Every exercise in the full plan links to a short video showing the easier, main and harder versions. The videos are for members only.

    What if it hurts?

    Some discomfort is expected. Clear pain rules tell you when to carry on, hold or step back, and every exercise has an easier version.

    Can I try it before I buy?

    Yes. Stage 1, the first two weeks, is free. Because you can try it first, we don’t refund a change of mind once the full plan is downloaded. If anything is wrong with your files, we’ll fix it or refund you.

    How do I get it?

    Pay once and download straight away. There’s no account to set up. It’s a phone-friendly file that works on any device.
