Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction Patient Handout

Are you or your patients experiencing pain along the inside of the ankle and arch?

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) is a functional problem where the posterior tibial tendon becomes irritated, weakened, or damaged, which can lead to pain, weakness, and a flattening of the foot arch over time. While PTTD can cause significant discomfort during weight-bearing activities, the early stages are usually manageable with conservative care.

Exercise plays a central role in managing PTTD because it helps strengthen the surrounding muscles, improve foot control, and reduce pain. To support this evidence-based, conservative approach, we have released a comprehensive PTTD Patient Handout as part of our digital exercise packages.

This printable PDF is designed to serve as a practical visual aid to help you easily follow along with the exercises featured on The Health Leap YouTube channel.

What’s Included in the Guide:

·      A clinical overview of PTTD, including risk factors, pathophysiology, and expected outcomes.

·      Step-by-step instructions for proper orthotic fitting and Kinesiology Tape application.

·      Detailed, structured exercise guides covering core stabilization, pelvic bridges, and targeted resistance band movements.

·      Static stretching protocols for the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantar fascia.
