Posterior Tibial Tendonitis

The following configurations target specific muscles that help alleviate posterior tibial tendonitis. Work through all configurations to discover the most challenging ones for you. Unstable and difficult exercises signal muscles that need strengthening. Focus your time most on these configurations to build strength in those weaker areas.
For levels 1 and 2, simply go through the range of motion allowed by the board. There is no time requirement, the goal is to get your body familiar and comfortable with the movement.
For levels 3+, your goal is to maintain the balanced position in each configuration for 20 seconds on both your right and left foot before advancing to the next level.

Medial Stabilizer

Enhances stabilization and balance of the inner foot by engaging the medial side with a slanted platform, correcting overpronation and boosting arch support.

A quick clarification: the long stabilizer bar should be positioned under the big toe, as shown in the setup section of the video. In some portions of the demonstration, the bar is mistakenly shown under the little toe. Thank you for your understanding!

Diagonal Dynamics

Enhances the rearfoot setup with a 30-degree angled pivot, focusing challenges on stabilizing muscles to improve proprioception and athletic agility.

Angled Agility

Introduces greater instability with a 30-degree angled pivot, requiring active forefoot engagement and adaptation, ideal for simulating athletic forces and enhancing coordination.

Lateral Stability Plus

This setup enhances lateral stability, complementing the front platform’s horizontal pivot for front-to-back balance. It effectively trains the full spectrum of foot and ankle muscles, essential for quick, multi-directional sports like tennis, soccer, and basketball.
