Burwood NSW · Posterior Tibial Tendinopathy Treatment
Posterior tibial tendinopathy causes pain along the inner ankle and foot — and if left untreated, can progress to a painful flat foot deformity. Early physiotherapy is highly effective.
The posterior tibialis tendon is crucial for arch support and foot stability. Overload from running, prolonged standing, or sudden activity increases can lead to progressive tendon degeneration. We treat the tendon and correct the underlying mechanics.
How We Treat This Condition
Evidence-based treatment tailored to your specific presentation and goals.
Tendon Assessment
Clinical grading of tendon health, foot posture assessment, and single-leg heel raise testing to determine the severity and guide treatment.
Learn more →Tendon Loading Program
Progressive eccentric and isometric loading exercises specifically targeting the posterior tibialis — the evidence-based gold standard for tendon recovery.
Learn more →Orthotic Prescription
Custom or prefabricated orthotics to offload the tendon and support the arch while the tendon rehabilitates — often dramatically reducing symptoms immediately.
Learn more →Shockwave Therapy
For chronic or degenerative tendinopathy, shockwave is highly effective — stimulating tendon healing and reducing pain.
Learn more →Manual Therapy
Ankle and foot joint mobilisation, calf release, and myofascial techniques to address the stiffness and tightness that load the tendon.
Learn more →Return to Activity
Criteria-based return to walking, running, and sport with load monitoring to prevent recurrence.
