How do you recover completely from Achilles heels' issues?

I was developing a pretty small case of Achilles Heels before the holiday after working out (typically cardio on treadmills). I did the normal course of RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) for two days then stopped working out over the holidays.

The pain is gone, but the joint is extremely tight. I worry that working out (even lightly) may recreate the Achilles Heel issue. Do you have any reccomendation to overcome it?

    4) do calf raises to strengthen it

    5) Start walking at a slow pace for a week or two before you run.
