Tibialis Posterior Activation Progression

Seated Tibialis Posterior Progression. Ask your patient/client to perform a "calf raise" while pressing ankles out into the mini exercise band (inversion). Maintain toe extension and the ball of the foot firmly on the ground from first to the fifth metatarsal head. Perform 12 – 20 repetitions through full available range of motion, with a 2:4:2 or 4:2:2 tempo, and move on to your next activation exercise. A second set may be performed if you desire and the patient is capable. Progression: This e

Tibialis anterior release . 🔺Here we are working the tib anterior in the prone position . 🔺This allows us to plantar and Dorsi flex actively and passively as well as adding tibial rotation. These active and passive movements facilitate the release and lengthening of this muscle . 🔺In the lower leg there are 4 compartments, the anterior,lateral,deep posterior and superficial posterior. The bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula), the interosseous membrane and the anterior intermuscular septu

Is a weakness of the tibialis posterior a cause of plantar fasciitis and foot pain? 🤔This muscle originates on the lower part of the leg, wraps and attaches to the arch of the foot 🦶 It’s main roles are to stabilise the arch and to eccentrically lengthen control pronation as we walk, jump, run 🏃‍♀️ This can help to decrease load onto the plantar fascia and feet, but if there is a weakness we can increase that load and potentially find pain and discomfort 😏Exercises such as this can help to s
