1.) Stretching the leg muscles especially the calf 2.) Loosening these muscles as well as my foot with a massage bar and ball 3.) Dipping legs in warm epson salt water 4.) Applying inflammation cream 5.) Rest 6.) Ice. These are the six steps I have taken to help bring down the extreme stabbing pains I have in my ankles. As help to support my recovery I have bought custom orthotics and shoes with arch support as well as a lace up ankle brace. Through all of my research and time this has been my approach to help repair and avoid surgery. I pray for all who are enduring this painful condition and hope this message gives hope as well as comfort for those who are currently suffering through this. I know how painful it can be, but through taking these steps and rest it has got better 4 me personally over two weeks time. Good luck and stay strong with Love and Blessings 2 All !
thank you!!!!!!
What does number 3 do?
Epson salt is good for soaking sore muscles, brings down swellings. It's good for a lot of issues, I just know this one.

Thank you!
Killed both of my PTTs with hardcore running and cycling. WORST thing I have even done in my life and have been suffering for 20 months. Can't seem to shake it....Had MRI and saw Ortho who put me in a DonJoy lace up brace a week ago. This vid was super helpful. Thank you and happy healing to all!
Glad it was helpful! I hope you feel better soon. Have you tried custom orthotics yet?
@@OrthoEvalPal thank you so much! I did get custom orthotics but they didnt seem to help. Im going to start PT in 2 weeks, doc wanted swelling to decrease first. Does this ever go away? What are the best modalities?
@@jseremak3979 How are you doing now J?
How long did it take to get back to normal? I reinjured myself walking down a twisty flight of stairs after 5 weeks recovering
@@jseremak3979did you fix it?
wish I had known the proper way to put the brace on. it might have saved my tendon from tearing
This is a great video! Could you provide a link to the brace that you use?
Can you please clarify what time frame we are looking at to have the brace on?
What brace would you recommend for sports/athletic uses?
I have not prescribed a brace yet, but this is a good thing to know! Thanks Paul!
Any time!
I had great pain relief with one of these lace up braces with crossed velcro straps along with a rigid arch supporting orthotic and medial heel wedge. It seemed to take work off the PTT. I used the ASO brace on Amazon and paid about $35. It is important to get the right size. The cross strap has to go just behind the arch and turn your foot inward a little when you put it on, like this guy describes. Ultimately in my case it was not successful, and I tried a Richie style brace that cost $700 that did no better. So I had surgery for stage 2 PTTD.
Was the surgery successful? How has your foot been since?
Was the surgery useful??
Thank you thank you for explaining how this lace up brace works.
Thank you!
What kind of exercises can I do once I’ve “calmed down” the inflammation after wearing the brace?
How do you strengthen the foot?
So when do you stop wearing the brace or do uou have like a titration type plan to slowly wean off it? I thankfully bought this and a couple days in i feel much better and id like to get out of it but dont want to be too ambitious and hurt myself again. I have congenital flat feet and suspect i just had too many days in flip flops on vacation, im not a doctor but because i can still go tip toe on that one foot and its not causing me to limp or extra wear on inner part of my shoe i caught this early and its mild 🤞
Custom orthotics always makf my feet feel worse, good running shoes and sometimes good otc orthotics always seemed to do more for me.
The dr gave me a Supinator PTT Stabilizer brace. It has laces but they don’t tie up. I’m having a hard time putting it on. Is there a video to help me?
Would you wear the brace when going back to football (soccer)? And slowly build to not wear the brace again?
Yes, that is correct
Where can I purchase this exact brace?
Are you aware of any form of light therapy providing relief to posterior tibial tendonitis pain?
K laser, Aspen laser, or Erchonia these are the most widely used cold lasers. A lot of chiropractors offer laser treatments now, it takes a few visits to see results.
@@richardwrynn824 Thank you. It just so happens I have an appointment next Wed. to explore this option.
My PTT resulted in flatfoot. The podiatrist says I need reconstructive surgery or wear a brace forever. He gave me one like what you were showing today. He’s also sending me to someone who will make me a custom one. Any suggestions for me?
If it is torn, then the recommendations are reasonable.

Can you use the aso brace for stability playing sports. Tennis/pickelball?
Yes
I think I have an extensor retinacular tear (based on your other video). The doc proscribed PT. The PT gave me tiptoe exercises, which made it worse. Help!
don't load it when its acute. same mistake. custom orthotics first. but they only help as a crutch.
Hi Paul,
Had a biking accident last April and ended up being diagnosed with PTT after 3 months of waiting for it to heal and never did … fast forward here 9 months later after trying physical therapy and 2 different orthopedic docs and the pain and swelling is still there. I am beginning to feel it will never be back to normal again, you seem to be very familiar with this injury. Could you offer any advice on what my next step should be? It would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you!
Hey, did you manage to heal your tendonitis? How long did it took ?
Did it heal.. please share
Can you link this brace below?
The link is in the notes of the video.
It does not help me waste of time buying this brace
In what situation would you recommend a boot?
If it's painful enough to cause you to limp, swelling and loss of motion. I caution people not to wear them too long. If you think you need one then you should be seeing a medical provider.
@@OrthoEvalPal Thanks for the reply and info. I injured it 2 days ago and I'm still hobbling and limping around the house. I guess I'll have to see an ortho or podiatrist about it.
Can you wear something over that brace?
No. Not really
Hello , i have a partial tear of this tendon, is this brace a good option!???
😞 Ouch
Yes!
ممتاز
This has bothered me for over a year. I take the brace off and it begins to give me grief all over again. I haven’t seen my Dr. in over a year. Should I reach out to him again? Are there exercises I should do to help this?
Ive had issues with this tendon and my arch for years. I have a variety of stiff and flexible orthodics. My Posterior Tibial Tendon gets knotted where it ends on the side of the mid arch, about the size of a quarter. The rest of the tendon is fine without pain! Weird. I do trigger point release on it, but the tension/knotting returns quickly. Any ideas on what to do?
Check exercising health channel, can maybe help
Try distilled water for 30 days and avoid acidic foods and foods that trigger inflammation like sodas etc. Wearing the right size shoes, the insoles,and how you wear them matter. Also high top shoes worn snug but not extremely tight should help. Depends if if you still have an arch too I’d think. I’m not a doctor
I started doing light exercises with my foot in all different directions with a light kettlebell and exercise bands. Nobody exercises they’re lower leg tendons and muscles. This fixed 80% of the issue.
Sadly the link to the brace on Amazon shows this brace is no longer available.

Thank you for letting me know!
Hi! 3 months post right ankle sprain (& small left foot fractures- now healed)
Left ankle had a boot for 5 weeks, slowly transitioned to lace up brace. Posterior tibial pain persisted. PT for 6 weeks, no improvement on the tendon. Custom orthotics. Continued trying to strengthen, walking increased and some exercising but avoiding anything much on the ankle. Still angry. MRI showed fluid and significant tenosynovitis. Cortison shot in the tendon sheath 2 days ago. Now what? 😂 how much do I rest it? Just wing it and watch for pain? Brace? I’m getting mixed answers since I wasn’t following the norm. If it doesn’t resolve in 4 weeks they’ll be looking at doing the surgery to clean it out.
I think that if you have a condition in most case it wont fix with all these magic methods. Sometimes fixing the bottom problem maybe be the only solution. For example, I have really flat feet and I have tried orthotics that doctos swear they make wonders but they cause more pain than any good. I feel that at this point going to surgery will be the best option because after all when you have flat feet with all these exercises, orthotics, braces and expensive shoes all you are doing is covering up the real problem which in my case is flat feet. I have the same condition as you fluid in the shea and tendonitis aside from plantar fascitis and a bunion. All caused while wearing the recommended expensive shoes with customized expensive orthotics and a number of exercises. I guess All these remedies are just band aid for underlying more serious conditions that sometimes just need surgery or more drastic corrections.
I had an injury to this tendon while skiing like in 2015-2016 ish. It’s just flaring up again, as it has over the years.
that's very relatable. I had an injury skating 2 years back. And the pain comes and goes.
I have found that Hoka's with Powerstep Pinnacle insoles help with offloading that tendon.
Yes. I use the Hoka with Tread Labs. Great combo
My injury is on the outside of my foot. Should I reverse the side straps? Best video I have seen so far
Can you wear a shoe with this? i bartend and on my feet many hours, My PTT is pretty bad.
Can you play basketball in this brace?
How can I get this band or device
I saw an Ortho yesterday and he put me in a Donjoy speed brace for PTT. How long typically does it take for the tendon to calm down and can begin running again?
Hi Tommy, If it is quite inflamed I like to go about 3 weeks.
I have developed sores on the ankle from the rubbing of the brace on the ankle, i do wear socks first, but cant seem to get it to heal so I can go back to wearing it. Don't know what to do.
I'd use a long mesh sleeve that helps with rubbing
