Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy

• Overuse injury of the tibialis posterior muscle
• Thought to be due to degeneration of the tendon rather than acute inflammation
• May cause pain on the inside of the foot that may radiate along the course of the muscle
• The Tibialis Posterior Muscle runs down the back of the leg and under the foot

Symptoms of Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy

• Pain on the inside of the foot that radiates up the leg
• Pain when rolling the foot outwards
• In more advanced cases of Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy, the arch of the foot begins to drop and your foot looks like it has “flattened”.
