Description: Empowering You to Reach Your Optimal Health!
P ain along the inside (medial) portion of your ankle is often due to Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), also known as posterior tibial tendon syndrome or tibialis posterior syndrome, and it can be very difficult to treat.
The posterior tibialis muscle is a particularly important muscle in runners as it is used in plantar flexing the ankle (pointing the ankle/toes downward) and inverting the ankle (rolling it inward). More importantly, its role is to support the arch of the foot. Injury to this muscle is common in runners as well as those who play sports involving high foot impact such as basketball. It can be associated with a fall or can generally develop overtime depending on your risk factors and the strain your foot has
In this video, I demonstrate a taping technique for supporting the arch and the bottom of the foot for those suffering from PTTD. (I recommend using KT TAPE .)
