Definition: Most often caused by overuse, misalignment or muscle imbalance of the feet or legs especially during running activities. Overuse of the posterior tibial tendon or the medial part of the soleus attachment to the tibia can cause inflammation where the muscle and bone are attached.

Treatment: Rest and re-evaluation of your training regime. Treatments can also include: strapping, orthoses, anti-inflammatory drugs or dry needling/acupuncture. Active Life Podiatry will also examine your training shoes and check their suitability to you.
