ByAdam Steinhardt 21 February 20255 March 2025

🦶Are you experiencing pain on the inside of you 🦶Are you experiencing pain on the inside of your ankle or foot? You might be dealing with Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), a common condition that can lead to flatfoot if not addressed early.🦶

💥Below is a gait analysis video from a client today who has been diagnosed with PTTD💥

What is PTTD🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

The tibialis posterior tendon plays a crucial role in supporting the arch of your foot and maintaining ankle stability. When this tendon becomes inflamed or injured, it can cause pain, swelling, and even a collapse of the medial arch, leading to flatfoot deformity.

 

Symptoms to Watch For:

✅Pain along the inside of the ankle and foot
✅Swelling around the ankle
✅Heel pain
✅Difficulty walking or standing on your toes
✅A noticeable change in foot shape (flatfoot)
 

Why Early Intervention Matters:
If left untreated, PTTD can progress, leading to more severe complications like arthritis and chronic pain. Early diagnosis and management can significantly improve outcomes and may prevent the need for surgical interventions.

 

Treatment Options:

✅Rest
✅Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises tailored to your needs.
✅Orthotics: Custom shoe inserts to support your arch.
✅Medications: Anti-inflammatories to manage pain.
✅Surgery: In advanced cases where conservative treatments fail.
 

👣If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait! Consult with us today to explore your treatment options. Your feet deserve the best care!👣

 👊Arch Support: Archies Thongs provide up to 2.2 cm of orthotic support. This support helps maintain proper foot alignment, reducing strain on the feet, ankles, and knees.

👊Comfortable Material: Made from high-quality, closed-cell foam, these thongs mold to the foot for added comfort.

👊Durability: The one-piece design is ultra-strong, minimizing the risk of breaks or blowouts, making them suitable for everyday wear.

👊Tighter Strap: The design features a tighter strap that prevents the toes from gripping excessively, allowing for a more natural walking motion without overworking the muscles in the feet.

👊Lightweight Design: Their lightweight nature promotes optimal foot function, making them ideal for long walks or travel.
 
👊Pain Relief: Ideal for individuals suffering from conditions like plantar fasciitis, Archies Thongs provide a supportive environment that can alleviate pain compared to walking barefoot or in traditional flat thongs.

👊Alignment Support: By encouraging proper posture and alignment, they may help reduce leg strain and discomfort throughout the body.

👊Versatile Use: Suitable for both casual wear and active lifestyles, many find them perfect for use around the house or during outdoor activities.
 
👊Sizing and Availability
Archies Thongs are unisex and available in various sizes that run true to standard US shoe sizes. They come in multiple colors to suit different styles.

👊Conclusion
