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!

I can’t believe that I just watched this whole video thinking you look so familiar, only to google you and realize we went to college together! You don’t remember me but we were lifeguards at UVM together! You look exactly the same and this video is saving me a trip to the podiatrist so thanks Kristie! And so great to see you! 😂

[luzhinojosa]

This is the information I’ve been wanting to hear for a long time, this is exactly what I have ..thanks for your time to share such as an Amazing information.

[stryder]

Thanks Doc! Perfect timing. Inside arch pain is exactly what's been bothering me the last month or so (during the run and a short time after). Looking forward to receiving my derma edge and getting to work on recovery.

Got this now. Too much too soon. Did 10 minutes on hill climber and then 10 minutes on bike then walked around gym for twenty laps. A few days later the pain. Tendon by inside ankle feels like shin splints. Now must rest ice ect. Won’t do exercises yes until I allow it rest. Great video.

[AHinton-fi]

This is great information in an easy-to-understand presentation. Thank you, Doc!

[abdelghanitassi]

Thanks you doc
I spent the whole summer on the bed because of Posterior Tibial Tendonitis
Now i'm healing slowly and i don't want to do anything wrong

[curlysmith]

That is so helpful, doctors and physics have only recommended orthotics for me for———years! You are looking at the whole picture, thank you.

[abhinavghute]

Exactly what I needed to know, nothing missed! I went on a 7km run after having rested for about 3 months and I did it on roads. You mentioned how both of them could cause it. Thanks a lot, love from India!

[tattersaildiamond]

Thank you so much. Very helpful! Immediate relief of pain and i appreciate the tips that will strengthen and stabilize.

[stephanierunsthrough]

Glad I just found this. I've been having an issue and the doctor just gave me a walking boot and told me to take ibuprofen. I'll be doing some gentle massage!

[BNEATHTHEUNDERDOG]

The best Doc talk ever. Informative and thorough with treatments we can perform at home! Awesome

Hi Dr Christy, I have flat feet. I didn't realize it until I started having a problem with pain in my right foot. Anyway, this all started with playing in a very long weekend of pickleball tournaments. Feet take a beating in the games because of so much lateral moves. Anyway, I been going to PT for 5 weeks. But, recently I ended the treatment. I got a good hold on doing the right exercises. I actually was already doing most these exercises on my own. Also, a lot of stretching before my first went to pt treatment. So my range of motion was excellent. It was the pain and periodically swelling running under the ankle bone and up a little that made me decide to go PT route. Between arthritis and this problem it was deep aches and sharp pains. I had to drop my pickleball Play down to 10 to 12 hours a week from 14 to 16 a week. That's helped a lot and I'm getting better ontop of taking amino acids to make collagen and amino acids to aid in healing tendons. Slowly, I'm healing. But my feet are becoming stronger which is what is needed. But, you video explained a lot of why I do these exercises. I really look learned a lot. Thank you

Derma edge is wonderful. Has saved me with my planter fasciitis. Thanks for another great video!

[kay_to_the_J]

THANK YOU!!!! ❤. I have been struggling with ankle pain after running a few days ago and it was almost unbearable. Found your video and did the scraping showed and have immediate relief 🥲 Thanks for the tips to avoid in the future! Prob need to change my shoes!

[MrPallingo]

Great video, Doc ! While my ankle pain is in another area (front, upper), your instruction encourages me to explore other movements and ways to address this. There is some swelling. No more jumping off the back of my truck. I'm 74.

[russhennessy]

Great video! Can you tell me if an MRI can detect an injured or inflamed PTT? Thanks!
