    I have beaten posterior tibial tendonitis in 9 months!
    Read closely I am writing this because I would have died for someone to tell me this information when this first started when I though there was no way out. Now through all of these steps make sure to take Moringa, turmeric ,ginger and cocoa which are highly recommended for beating the inflammation (make sure to check with your doctor first to make sure these are safe for you to take 1st) and take collagen 1 and 3 preferably from green lakes or native path as well as tendoforte collagen from salt wrap or sparkling wellness which is a little cheaper. Now I was in agonzing pain with both ankles every time I would walk it literally felt like someone was shoving a staple through my tendon so it may depend on the amount of damage done with the time lapse needed on each step but I can only personally share my experience and if I would have done this the right way I probably could have healed a lot faster so here we go. Step 1. Relax your ankle for the first month to two always walk with a brace never unsupported as well as a shoe with a good orthotic always ( orthofeet reccomended) and ice to bring down infllammation I just shoved my foot in an ice bucket but any way is possible to help bring down the inflammation when walking supported gets noticeably easier its time for step 2.Step 2. once the inflammation stage starts to get better this is when stretching, rolling your legs and foot as well as taking longer walks comes into play but still always supported by an ankle brace or something just to keep you arch supported so the tendon can heal but take on a little pressure from the walking. Step 3. this should be at the 3 to 4th month time lapse once you are a professional at walking now comes strengthening a little bit more intensily with calf raises only off the ground I started with 5 the first day 10 the next until I finally made it to one hundred with out a problem from here you should be 65% improved if on any of these steps you do feel pain stop right away and go back to the earlier step you are not ready. Healing for me was a two feet ahead one step back process so be careful keep stretching and monitoring yourself. Step 4. Now when calf raises get easy start to use lotion and give your tendon a deep massage to tear up the tissue I would recommend watching a video on this first then as soon as soon as you are done walking or calf raises need to be done because the whole idea is that you are breaking up the scar tissue with the massage and realigning it with the exercise.Also start to motion your foot in a circle 5 times each way to improve mobility. By now you should be on month six and 85% better now its time for the final step. Step 5. Now at this point you should be more able to walk with out a cast unsupported not is when I started using the theraband I would point my calf down with the band on the ball of my foot and pull it in start with the weakest band start 5 then next day ten and until you can hit twenty then fifty by now you should be at almost 100%. Things to not do do not use n said cream I did this and luckily stopped and found out later it actually weakens the tendon long run. If your foot starts breaking down like all the tendons in my foot did stretch and stick in a bucket of ice every night eventually won't have to but from steps 2 to 4 this was a nightly ritual. Subliminal and mprphic fields may help speed up the process as well I definitely recommend sapien medicine for the fields. Like I said this can be done in a good amount of time if done right. Any question feel free to ask Good luck!

    This is an awesome, in-depth video. Thank you for making this. I am a 30 year old male who recently started experiencing this condition and it is super frustrating, hard to describe and snuck up on me gradually. I had never had anything like it and I have played college football, so I've had a variety of injuries and seen many others injuries. I do have flat feet and I have broken this ankle a long time ago that I am having PTTD with now, so the orthopedist said that the scar tissue and flat foot eventually caught up to me. I can say that, for the beginning of stages of rehab that I am in now, resting, rolling out my calf and wearing orthotics has helped immensely already. Thanks again.

    Be very careful before doing these exercises, especially the one with theraband inversion because it can irritate the tendon and flare up the pain. That's what I experienced a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty annoying to feel irritated even without doing any running exercises.

      @@simonmccomb8670 Hello my friend, first of all, I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering from this stubborn injury. It has reoccurred twice in my case because I returned to running too soon too fast. I believe patience and gradual increase in exercises are key to heal and avoid any reoccurrence. First, you take a sufficient time of R.I.C.E. principle, and then you begin with exercises very gently. I'd avoid inversion exercises in the beginning as they irritate the tendon further. If you use a theraband, beging with the softest one, and change into harder ones after a certain time. Iceing after inversion exercise also helps to avoid irritation. Once you feel that you're ready to go for running exercises, begin with walking/jogging program and increase the exercise time and intensity very gradually. Watch if you have pain and irritation at night or the day after. Here's a very good walking/running exercise you can follow: www.sports-injury-physio.com/post/running-after-injury Hope this helps and you return to your running routine safely! All the best!

    Excellent video and thank you for making it! I have been suffering from PTTD for about two months and seeing some improvement with your recommendations. However, I have flat feet and accessory navicular syndrome. Orthotics or supportive running shoes only make my problem worse since the posterior tibial tendon tends to rub/press against the orthotic. I have never had arches and don't want surgery. What are your thoughts on minimalist running to treat PTTD?

    @Jordan-ln1to Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for this informative video! I believe I suffer from this injury due to swelling, tightness and tenderness in this exact area (from a bad ski accident a few weeks ago). I am able to do the single calf raise without pain though, so I'm wondering if it could be something else (calf stretches are very difficult due to tightness though, as well as plantar flexion). Can you do a single leg calf raise without problem and still have PTTD? I went to a sports med doc and ruled out any fractures with an x-ray. I appreciate any thoughts you have.

    My son didn't have injuries but was diagnosed young. Since he was young, the surgeon suggested waiting until he is fine growing for surgery & in the meantime west custom orthotics. He is now 21 & determined to join the military. He hopes it doesn't hinder getting accepted but my concern is the nonstop swelling in the ankles, plus the pain he is having learning to run. We just bought some Brooks shoes that is supposed to be good for ankle support. I guess we will see. I hope these exercises will help him.

    I'm not a runner but I have severe arthritis in my left ankle. It's due to a triple FX in 1978. I've been to the doctor and he said I may have tendonitis and I also got a cortisone shot which helped for about a month. I'm nearly certain I have tibias poster tendonitis because that is exactly where the pain is located. I'm going to start these exercises and hope it helps. I'm also going to continue to keep roller skating since it's a low impact activity. Good video. Thanks

I've now discovered quite a lot of tenderness when pressing the areas mentioned in the video and it explains why my calf was incredibly sore and tight after running. I was already doing tip toe walking and single leg raises but my improvement had stunted.... as I continued to RUN!! , not knowing I was undoing the valuable rehab.

    I have a boot cast ( for broken Left 5th metatarsal). The cast lifts my Lt foot higher than the Rt. This over pronates Lt foot causing that ( Tibialis) problem with pain hugging the Medial Malleolus. By the way, it ( Posterior Tibialis tendon pain ) can be a very very quick problem. Earlier today I was fine. By 5 PM I could hardly walk. Also , all I did was walk a few steps INSIDE my kitchen ( Cooking) with the BootCast on Lt foot ,and bare footed Rt foot ( thus a huge height difference). Its amazing how quickly the pain came about ( and for seemingly trivial tendon stress).

  • @IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS

    I think I have this. It hurts to push off, and the bone hurts from the sesamoid joint to a cuboid bone. Also, the metatarsal on the outside of the foot also hurts. I have swelling at that ankle more than the left. However, on the right ankle the muscle above the ankle going up toward the shin has generally hurt with some use. Just that leg. I was told I have pronating ankles. I have an orthotics, but they are doing nothing for this issue and my Morton's Neuromas actually feel better with just metatarsal pads in the shoes. I'm not an athlete. This has been going on my whole life with me trying to wear orthotics for the last 6 years. I'll start calf stretching again (I did these my whole life). My arches are still there when I'm not standing on my foot. Also, I regain an arch (not as good on the right foot) when I have Correct Toes on and feel no pain when walking barefoot with these on. My feet are telling me something positive without the orthotics. I've never experienced the intense pain on the bones first mentioned until after I began wearing orthotics.

    It seems that I have been experiencing this to a T. I have very high arches but about a year ago I started noticing sharp twinges in my arch, now almost a year later I have inner ankle pain every time I am on my feet. Strangely enough it became worse after buying a new set of running shoes (I guess they weren’t supporting my arch enough). I will give these exercises a try and find some supports on top of that try to shed some excess weight to help alleviate added stress. Thanks so much for the detailed information especially for a person without access to good health insurance!

    Thanks for your video very informative!!!Do you have any recommendations for running shoes for individuals with PTTD?

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 3 lety +1

      I can't say there's a specific model that's best for this. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of trying on lots of shoes and seeing which ones best support your arch. However, maybe a running shoe store associate will have more insight into this.

    Dang, I must have a bad case of it because I can't even walk on it the pain is so bad and I'm on week 3 now. I got it just from walking apparently. Thank you for the information! Will be a while until I can do some stretches.

    I’ve been wearing orthotics for the past year and a half and it has kept my foot great!

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 3 lety +1

      No doubt orthotics can be super helpful. I like to tell runners - don't hesitate to use orthotics, but make sure they're being used as a tool rather than a bandaid. Ie. they shouldn't be a complete substitute for proper strength training and form improvement 👍

    Good video, I have just been diagnosed with this problem and had to stop my training. I had a small accident while doing a trail, kicking against a branch with my foot. I kept on running for 20k after that ... should have known better, but I had a race coming. I hope these exercises help.

      Man, we've all been there. Thinking "ahh it'll be OK, what's an extra 20k?"
      So it goes 🙂
      Hope the exercises are helping, David 👍

    Can you please expand on what the 5 directions are for the balance board?

      @cybermanne Před 2 lety

      The study doesn't say. www.bcsorthopedics.com/articles/alvarez-post-tib-dysfunction-managed-with-orthosis%20.pdf
      But I guess getting the anle to move in all directions and having the strength to control these motions is what you want to do. So I don't think it matters much as long as you try to go in all directions.
      I haven't done this on a balance board, but there is a very similar exercise where you would do a semi squat on one leg by extending the other leg in 5 directions and therefore offsetting the center of gravity. This exercise (I've forgotten it's name) corresponds to tapping the balance board at 12 O'clock, 10, 8, 6, 4 if you're standing on your right foot in the middle of the watch. The last direction is the trickiest one (when done without a board) where you would have to extend the left leg behind you and to the right side as far as possible, kinda like a curtsey.

  • @marymurray2824
    @marymurray2824 Před 4 lety +2

    This is great. This was referenced on a website about Peroneal Tendon Dysfunction. Even tho the injury is in the opposite (lateral) ankle bone, it is also associated with high arches and is quite rare. The referring website indicated the exercises could be used or adapted for my condition. The things that match are high arches, instability, balance and pain, but pain is on/behind the lateral
    (outside) ankle bone. Thank you!

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 4 lety

      Awesome! Do you mean our video was referenced on another website or just general exercises for this condition? We're glad you could get the information you needed and we wish you a speedy recovery, Mary! :D

    @TetCan Před 3 lety

    Thank you for this excellent video. If this is, in fact, PTTD then I am in between Stage 1 and 2. I've been to a podiatrist whose diagnosis included flat feet, but never mentioned PTTD. Part of the treatment he suggested was wearing Superfeet orthotics and a version of the exercises you show with the Theraband. This condition goes from nothing, through a very low pain to incredibly sore shooting pains through my lift ankle. The pain recedes with ibuprofen. I tend to be on my feet a great deal. Worse still, I fit the category of middle-aged (a bit more than that) and overweight. There's a lot to take care of but I really do not want to be immobilized by this condition. Thanks again for the information.

    I was just three weeks into training for Boston when I started getting tibial tendon pain just below inside left angle. So I eased my training from Hal Higdon Advance 1 marathon to novice 1 but tendon pain is still on and off after about mile 2. So I stopped running this week will be seeing a podiatrist. Boston '22 perhaps? Damn.

    • @runnersconnect

      Sorry to hear you had to cut back, David! However, hope your appointment is useful. Feel free to incorporate these strength routines or ask your podiatrist about them.

    I don’t have pain in my tendon but I’d o have flat feet. Will these exercises still help with strengthening my arches?

  • @anyab882
    @anyab882 Před 3 lety

    I had this, and it is debilitating, lasted best part of a year before I found this video. These exercises are very good, really work - definitely the best solution I have found for this injury. Kinesio tape helps too, but just eases the pain, it’s not curing the source

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 3 lety

      Exactly - any of those solutions (like kinesio tape, compression socks, etc.) will only reduce symptoms, not fix the root of the problem. Great point 👍

    Orthotics caused this condition for me in both feet. I now know that the orthotics weakend my posterior tibial muscle and therefore no longer support my PTT. It started out by feeling like my forefoot on both feet was skewing off to the outside when I walked. 36 year old male have always had big calf’s and legs.

    I recently starting running a few months ago. I started getting pain 2 days ago while running in snow. Got new shoes today. :-)

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 3 lety

      Good stuff Kelsea. Snow can add a lot of variables - your lower legs are having to do more stabilizing which can stress the calves (and shins). Having shoes that aren't worn out is a must!!

    I had ankle surgery to replace cartilage in late December. I did my PT diligently but probably started running too soon [even though I continued to wear my ankle brace]. I was very disappointed to then discover the same ankle hurt, but now in a totally different area! It feels like I have PTTD now! I was especially sad when, in the video it says this happens mostly to middle-aged overweight women! UGH! I'm 56 and 123lbs @ 5'4"... maybe not overweight, but definitely carrying more weight than I'm comfortable with! Grrr! Back to PT for me, looks like....

    Hey doc I had this for years I even had to stop playing soccer... but last year I discovered that jumping rope and doing exercises on the tampoline really helped and now I can even play soccer in the sand again.. before I could barely walk in the sand.
    this make any sense? maybe can help others...

    Dear Coach Ruairi, Thankyou so much, this is by far the best video I have ever seen on an ankle/foot injury rehab program. Your anatomy images , your analogies, your well presented exercises are all v thorough and simple to follow and therefore really helpful to me!!
    I sprained my ankle 6 months ago while having alot of fun trail running (typical inversion sprain). Most of the swelling has gone but on the opposite side of the ankle around the Posterior Tibial Tendon area there is soreness. If I try to resume training or walk on uneven ground it still feels v sore. I'm trying most of the exercises in this video as it makes sense to build strength in the muscles of the foot. I have decided to use insoles and I've abandoned my zero drop shoes untill I get this injury sorted out.
    Where I am still confused is regarding the calf stretching dorsiflexion exercise. I can see it makes complete logical sense and yes every video shows this rehb exercise but it seems to aggravate my injury further. Perhaps its just me, but i'm thinking its best if I avoid it altogether,. Does anyone have any advise about this ?
    Many Thanks

    • @runnersconnect
      @runnersconnect  Před 4 lety +1

      So glad you enjoyed this video and more importantly found it helpful! Sounds like taking a break from the zero-drop shoes is best for now.
      No individual's symptoms will be exactly the same as another runner. If you have given it a shot, but it's not bringing relief then just scratch that exercise from the routine. 👍
