My first advice would be to consult your doctor. Depending on the degree of tear, surgery might be required. The Achilles tendon is a marvelous piece of equipment your body possesses. The Achilles can sustain a tear, and if stretched lightly to keep it from becoming too taught, a period of rest may be all you need. if left untreated to will compensate by the rest of the tendons and ligaments around the ankle joint becoming "locked" evolution has told your body to protect you feet and ankles, for survival. Scar tissue may form around the injured area, causing it to become "splinted" proper light stretching may help to reduce any resulting stiffness.
