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!

In my own experience I wore custom orthotics for 4 months, i was in stage 2 PTTD, and it worked. Now i am walking almost normally, and my doctor said i can"t run or jump, just walk for 5 months. This has been so long, anoying, sad, difficult, but i am getting better.

[pocdw]

45-year old lifelong runner/walker/hiker here. Went to the doctor many times due to inner ankle pain & was never told about PTTD. In fact, I’ve been using crutches & a wheel chair for over a month because nothing helped. After watching your videos, I now know my ankle is buckling & I’m developing flat feet. I’m getting orthotics asap. It blows my mind I was never made aware of this by any medical professional but instead learned it from YouTube.

[mcdkid]

More than 10 years and i couldn't find a better way to explain my pain. Thanks

[yoshiakemiinu]

I love this man! He’s good at explaining things and has a nice voice. You can tell how passionate he is about his profession.

[azmielkasim]

Very helpful especially on the cross training. My left foot has got the works ie. accessory navicular, flat foot, plantar fasciitis and posterior tibial tendonitis. Despite wearing running shoes with proper support combined with calf compression and plantar fasciitis socks, I can't enjoy a simple walk without suffering a flare up afterwards. Guaranteed to happen. It's just a matter of time before the swelling begins. Running is out of the question. I'm dead if a dog or any wild animal chases me.

[PhyrenWater]

I love listening to the Doctor. He shares his knowledge and he also has a voice that resonates with my frequency that seems to relax me.

I injured mine in a bicycle accident 3months ago. Didn't know what I damaged at the time but I couldn't walk on it for about a week, then a severe limp for about a month. I noticed today that I continue to have deep (dark) bruising along the tendon. I guess I kept hoping it would just heal on its own. As an athlete I'm right in the middle of my season so I plan on continuing but I'm going to focus on doing what I can in other areas.

[konniea]

Thirty years ago my right Achilles tendon snapped at the heel attachment after chronic tendinitis. I had it surgically repaired. Later I developed SI issues that I’ve had for over 20 years. In the last few years I have struggled off and on with tibial tendinitis. I have used an orthotic that helped some as did some exercises. But I have found the most relief with exercises focused on strengthening and stabilizing my hips and pelvis as well as specific foot exercises. I also use some CBD cream when it flairs up and massage my feet some.

[amurgcodru]

Wow, so much value from 10 minutes. This is amazing. Now I know I don't need to walk 1.5 hours every day.. I'll just focus on other things:D! I think possibly, because i walked so much each day(even during winter with a lot of snow, on difficult terrain in the forest and hills & stuff)

i've just bought a foamroller and I'm going to do those releases every day. Didn't knew that 60 seconds is all you need.
Thank you for condensing usefull knowledge!

[micheleperrian]

I had a tear. Luckly it didn't rupture. It happened 5 years ago. I was walking one day and went to bed and woke up and couldn't walk. I just had my surgery last week. And im still healing. I went to therapy for a year and ut didn't work. I did one moe therapy this year and it still didn't work, so i had to get it done. Nothing worked. The orthopedic didn't, the pump up brace didnt either. My toes had started getting numb and my siatic nerve was triggered. I do feel better now. But i will do those exercises you say do.😊

[isolamii]

Hi Doc, I would like to salute you on all your great work and videos you share. My pain is on my outer ankle, no swelling no pain when sitting only when walking. My foot doctor suggest surgery to remove scar tissue. I was in a car accident and then this developed a month later. Any suggestions? It's better now than it was but still feel weaken. Thanks

[gifts]

Thank you so much, my doctor told to me i had posterior tibial tendon, it is almost 4weeks now, what should i need to do? Because it is very sore and very painful especially in the morning, thank you so much♥️

[dareolaniyan]

I watched some of your videos and they are actually helpful on my sprained ankle. Thank you.

[laurenbayles]

Where are the links suggesting "good shoe, " orthotic, compression brace, etc.?

[Scorpionbite]

Contracted septic infection in ankle joint. Atrophy happened quickly throughout my entire ankle and lower leg. 3 years post treatment, my atrophy still hasnt came back. Swollen sheath, deep sore muscle and tendon, ligament pain. Its been a long road, but im starting to zero in on restoring function

[jseremak]

ugh can't seem to shake this going on 20 months tear in deep deltoid ligament and posterior tib tendonitis from super helpful vid thank you!

[mariagiles]

Thank you. This video is so good. What do you recommend when wearing a brace causes pressure on the tendon and hurts more

I've been exercising and living pretty active for almost 30 years. I developed this condition about 4 months ago. It was definitely from overuse because I pushed it a little too hard the previous few weeks. Pretty amazing how debilitating it can be. I had to stop all standing cardio and switch to an exercise bike. Weightlifting didn't bother it at all except for calf raises.

For treatment I used Voodoo muscle flossing bands (check out some videos on it. It can be used for pretty much any area of the body except shoulders).

I alternated Ice, Heat, and red light therapy throughout the day.

I purchased some very high arch supports for my shoes. I also had to greatly reduce my dog walks from a few miles to just around the block (they were not happy, lol).

I also used kinesiology tape on the area daily.

Luckily I caught mine early and was able to heal it in about 4-5 weeks.
