As its a posterior tibial tendon problem, then its there because the load in the tendon is greater than the tendon can tolerate.Therefore the only way to fix it is to reduce the load in the tendon. I fail to see how strengthening the muscle attached to the tendon is going to help. Its just nonsense. The muscles is already working hard (that how you got the tendonitis!), so is probably already strong. Plantar Fasciitis; A New Take on Custom Orthoses I feel they made a glaring error in not distinguishing between acute and chronic PF. Would anyone argue that acute PF exhibits an inflammatory component and that one of the primary goals of treatment in acute PF is reducing inflammation?
