What type of workout do you do? Because I’m having problems exercising without foot pain.

this is super helpful. I've just started jogging again 2 weeks ago, and I got a case of Tibial tendonitis. It was pretty worrying coz I didn't know what it was - I thought it was just run of the mill muscle soreness. These simple exercises give me instant relief. I hope I can run again soon. Thank you for putting this video together.

AskDoctorJo Is there benefit to walking on tiptoes along the swimming pool? Im a bit on the heavy side and the pool makes more things more possible. I just hope it helps my muscles get stronger, too.

I completely rested, ice packs and the usual, but didnt seem to get much better. did these excersises and the next day it was 50% better.

I have tried to continue with my dancing well into my senior years. I once taught ballroom, and also dabbled in ballet for about 15 years. Plantar fasciitis reared it's head at age 40, and I've had to address that from time to time. I've bee able to get over it with the right stretches. These may help, but my toes are calcified to the point where demi plies are not comfortable, so I may have to skip walking on the toes. This posterior tibial tendonitis is a new development for me in the past 4 or 5 months.

Thank you! These were very helpful! I have plantar fasciitis and tendonitis and I am having a very rough time right now. I did physical therapy for 4 months last year but that didn't seem to do much. I tried the band stretches you showed tonight and they felt good when I was done.

How many times should i repeat these in one day?

how many sets of these exercises should I do each time? and how often should I do these? my PTTD has been going on for 5 months now.

How often and for how many days/weeks do you suggest doing these?

Do you not consult individuals privately? I’ve looked at your page, but haven’t found a link to consultations.

I'm in the Army, so I obviously run a lot, for a long time I suffered with pain in my lower leg when I would run. So much so that my body would screaming at me to stop long before my lungs or the rest of my legs wanted me to. I went to the doctor thinking I had stress fractures and they found nothing, which I couldn't believe because I didn't even know that tibial tendonitis existed and the pain was that bad. I talked to a physiotherapist on Instagram and he gave me a quick rundown of the condition. After that I found your video and I feel confident saying that this is exactly what I need. So thanks for possibly prolonging my military career and helping prevent me from permanently injuring myself by continuing to push through the pain with anti-inflammatory drugs

I have Posterior Tibial Tendonitis. I like your exercises for this and for the most part I can do them. However, it is very painful on my arch when I do the modified runner stretch. Any other way I can do this that isn't standing?

I love your energy! Do you recommend doing the standing exercises with shoes, without shoes, or does it not matter?

@AskDoctorJo

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Usually without shoes is better for stretching, but if you have any balance issues, sometimes it's safer with shoes on.

At what point after the initial injury should you start these exercises? When I try them, I can still feel tenderness but not pain. I’m just really leery of reinjury.

Thank you for your video!! Can’t wait to try the menu. I only have tendonitis on my left foot. Should I use these stretches on both feet or just my left foot?

@AskDoctorJo

4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! If you have time to do both sides, I would do both.

I usually hurt after a long walk on the outer side of my ankle.. any good exercises for that?

Are these stretches/exercises also appropriate for tendonosis or are they designed exclusively for tendinitis? Thanks!!

Thank you. At least you did not say to run out and get orthotics which does nothing but take away the foot natural ability to get stronger but actually makes it weaker. Your exercises will help tremendously because I can feel the weakness.

Hello Doc, many thanks for all your input and efforts to make us feel better. I wonder : can I do a jumping rope programme landing on my front feet during my rehab for my tibial tendonitis ? I already started thai boxing as it has been 9 months without sport and I couldn't bear it anymore. It is going OK and I am careful and following your programme of stretches and exercises. I am also trying to walk barefoot as much as possible. Thanks again

Thank you! I am currently beginning to wear a brace and excited to do these exercises/stretches. I also have a lightweight wrap which feels great when it aches. How much time should I spend without wearing anything? It mainly hurts at the end of the day when I'm most active. Can I wear the wrap/bandage overnight?

@AskDoctorJo

4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! I would mainly just use the brace with higher level activities. Wearing a brace too long can cause the muscles to get weaker. As for sleeping with the wrap, only if you are having increased swelling.

What else can be done? Ultrasound? My right ankle is in a boot so I can't walk on toes, but can do most of the others!

Is it normal to have some pain or discomfort when doing the exercises?

will this stop my popping everytime i move my ankle up and down?

Hi, i injured my left foot 3 years ago and i didnt go to the doctor and now 3 years later i still can turn my left foot inward just a little and then i feel pain in the inside of the foot. Will visiting a doctor help because i had the injury 3 years ago and will these exercises help me? Im 13 so im really worried about having problems with my foot in the future.

This doesn't relate to the exercises, but can you still do your daily activities with ptt? My doctor told me to rest. She knows I have to work. I teach and we're back in the classroom now and I have to run errands every so often. How do I go about doing that if you're just supposed to rest and not go to any stores or anything like that??

What do you suggest for the navicular additional bone attached to tibialis posterior? I have pain in the area of the bone plus flat feet i do not want surgery . They suggested surgery because 3.5 months always in pain. If you advice i ll be glad . Thanks in advance

Doctor Jo, I am a US ARMY Disabled Veteran living in the Philippines> I went to the Dentist office and tripped on his elevated Door Jam, and hyper extended my right foot to keep from falling, I went to the Bone Doctor here and YES I have posterior tibial inflamed tendon/ I am supposed to go to Therapy, But it hurts so bad as I am having a hard time standing up let alone go to the Bathroom. The other night I had a Massage Therapist work on it, but today it is really sore and inflamed, when I tried to stand up it felt like my tendon was tearing away from the bone. The day before the Massage my foot felt better and I could actually walk on it gently. Now after the Massage IT IS SCREAMING PAINFUL to just stand! I watched your Video and I might be able to do the 1st stretching exercises but as for the rest it is a NO GO ! so what do you think ? I need to get this healed up ? Is this what the Therapist is going to have me do ?

There are many things a therapist can do to get the pain and inflammation down. It would probably be much different than this to start, and then more of this later after the pain has calmed down. I strongly recommend going. Good luck.
