🦶🏼Where is she now?🦶🏾
Ultimately, this is an insertional tibialis posterior tendon issue. We're treating the tendon and the surrounding musculature for pain.
We've still got her working on foot posture in static and dynamic ways, and in comfortable ranges of motion.
🏋🏻♀️
Now that pain is much more under control, we're loading gently while focusing on foot mechanics and proper shoes.
Once we're satisfied with her mechanics and strength tests, we'll progress to double, then single leg hopping as one clearance test for her return to running.
🏃♀️
Once she can demonstrate adequate mechanics in single leg hopping we'll start her on our return to running protocol and slowly build volume over the following 6-10 weeks.
📅
It's not a short path, but it's the right one, and one that will keep her healthy for a long time.
