However, the physio I’m seeing has considered FHL tendonopathy to be a diagnostic possibility with my foot and calf pain. It be is a running injury with speed training to be the precipitatant on and off over the last three years. Are you able to describe any clinical features (in your experience) to differentiate between TP and FHL tendonopathy? I am medical so will understand the lingo.

I'm seeing an orthopedic soon because this has gotten progressively worse. Im now feeling it on right leg now.

Walking isn’t necessarily bad. It does apply some stress to tibialis posterior, so you just need to experiment with how much volume the tissue can tolerate. Too much walking often triggers symptoms, so you just have to find the appropriate level for your stage of healing.

If someone has chronic PTTD, is it wise to just go into strengthening? My feet have flattened due to PTTD and all they can advice is braces or orthotics. I do not want orthotics as I have had them and made the problem worse in my opinion and my feet and calves become atrophied from all the years I wore them. The muscle behind the shin is swollen and very sore, should this be released before strengthening? Have been going to PT for months and they feel that myofascial therapy is necessary in resolving this issue. I feel as I am wasting my time going to PT as they don't even address this issue. I would love to resolve this pain in both feet, as it has been so problematic in my life. I do like your strengthening exercises. I have learned so much more on my own but I have no professional experience in dealing with this. Thank you for your video.

0:06 reading your comment resonated with me. I injured my ankle some years back and damaged the posterior tibial tendon. Unfortunately, it was not diagnosed at the time and I have gone on to develop PTTD or Adult Acquired Flat Foot. Tomorrow I am having an operation to realign my heel bone and tibia. In addition, the surgeon will graft a new tendon to replace the now dead tissue. Having done quite a bit of research, it would appear that damaged or ruptured tendons are very difficult to heal and can lead to deformity as described above. My advice would be to anyone who injures their ankle joint, and if the soft tissue does not recover, ensure that it is reviewed by a specialist in orthopedics and hopefully avoid, as in my case, having to have aggressive surgery at a later date.

I've been taking ballet classes for years but my ankle hurts whenever I tried to get on demi-pointe etc. My doctor told me I have posterior tendonitis and need to stop dancing for several months to let my ankle heal. But isn't the heel lift exercise the same as ballet dancer trying to get on demi pointe? So do I really need to stop dancing? I stopped for a while, but when I started dancing again, it hurts again. I don't want to stop dancing forever, so is dancing similar to the exercises and can help heal the tendonitis? Thank you so much!

@RehabScience

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are correct in that the calf raises are very similar to the movements you are doing in ballet. What you described is what we often see with tendinitis. It gets better when the person rests, but then comes back again when they resume their activities. You definitely don’t need to stop dance forever. The key is to let the tendon calm down and then strengthen it gradually over over time. Once it has desensitized and gained enough strength, you will be able to go back to activities that initially caused pain. Hope this helps!

Working with a professional running coach helped me understand that this also come at least in my case from weak hips. One thing that really helps mine is adding weight to those calf raises, icing after runs, and a massage gun. If this is a running injury, pay attention to where you’re striking. For me, I found I was over striding and not keeping my feet under me. Hope this helps. Also arch support and Altra shoes

Have you seen an orthopedic doctor to rule out a stress fracture. Being that you have had this issue for so long, it would be good to rule out other causes, like a stress fracture. If the bone is fine, then you might want to consider finding a facility with an unloading treadmill (Alter G) so that you can run with less of your body weight and slowly rebuild strength and capacity in the area. Also, running in a pool can be useful.

Hey Tom, are there factors excluding neuromuscular control that dictate the ability for a muscle to experience DOMS? I find that the propensity for my patients and I to experience soreness in muscles like the tib posterior or forearm muscles to be less than others like the glutes or pecs, thanks!

@RehabScience

Жыл бұрын

That’s a great question and I’m sure there are other factors. I would imagine some of this is associated with how many muscles are located in a given compartment and which muscles accept most of the load. With tibialis posterior (posterior compartment), the calf muscles are going to accept most of the load, so it would be difficult to isolate tib. posterior and create DOMS in that muscle. With the forearm muscles, I don’t think most people load them heavy enough or long enough to achieve DOMS. However, an exercise like multiple sets of dead hands to fatigue can definitely create soreness in the wrist and finger flexors (anterior forearm). I think so much of whether or not DOMS occurs is due to how much a particular muscle is load and can be isolated.
