What exercises can I do for posterior tibial tendonitis?

To help treat your posterior tibial tendonitis, firstly do range-of-motion exercises. Four axes of motion are usually included in active ankle ROM exercises. These are:

• Dorsiflexion.
• Plantarflexion.
• Inversion.
• Eversion.



Do stretching exercises for your foot and ankle.

• The runner's stretch
• Ankle stretch with a towel
• Hamstrings stretches
• Anterior tibialis streches

Stretches should be held for 20 to 30 seconds before being released. They can be done multiple times during the day.

To strengthen your feet, scrunch up a towel with your toes, pick up a tissue with your toes, or draw your toes up against a small resistance band. You can also use orthotics for PTTD.

Exercises for the muscles around your knees focus on your quadriceps and hamstrings and may include:

• short arc quads.
• Squats.
• Lunges.
• Straight leg raises.



Make sure you acclimate slowly and do exercises to tolerable levels. Additionally, for optimal biomechanics while exercising, wear firm and fitting shoes and use custom configurable orthotics.
