Tibialis anterior tendinopathy is damage/degeneration of the tibialis anterior tendon!

The tibialis anterior muscle starts at the top of the shin bone (tibia) and runs down the front of the shin, passing the front of the ankle, and attaches to the top-inner side of the foot. This muscle enables us to bring the foot upwards and inwards

Symptoms can present as pain when pulling the foot up or when pressing on the tendon. This tendon can replicate pain with activity and promote stiffness in the front of the ankle region.

❌ Navicular stress fracture ❌

What is it?
- A break and or crack in the navicular bone

What/where is the navicular?
- The navicular bone is located on the top and middle aspect of the foot, just in front of the ankle. The navicular plays a key role as one of the sites that aids in maintaining the arch of our foot which is important for shock absorption during movement.

Causes:
- Poor footwear
- Foot biomechanics
- Poor nutritional intake
- Low bone density
- Excessive loading
- Training surfaces
- Overuse
- Direct injury to the area

Symptoms:
- Tenderness and or a vague/dull ache at the central part of the navicular bone (N-spot)
- Pain with walking, jumping, running
- Referred pain along the top and middle aspect of the foot

If you’re suffering from this, please ring up the clinic and book in with one of our podiatrists! ✅👏🏻

Exercise loading types 💪🏻

Loading types or ‘muscle contractions’ are an important part of an exercise/rehabilitation program and how we administer them will be based on the severity of the issue as well as the current level of pain, activity and capability.

Concentric: This is when the muscles shorten allowing for movement to occur
Example: raising up onto your toes when doing a calf raise

Eccentric: This is when the muscles lengthens allowing for weighted loading to occur
Example: Lowering your heel to the ground when doing a calf raise

Isometric: This is when the length of the muscle stays the same
Example: Keeping your heel off the ground for an extended period of time without moving

Retrocalcaneal Bursitis ‼️

What is it? 🤷🏽‍♂️
- Swelling and inflammation of the bursa located at the back of the heel bone under the Achilles tendon.

What is a bursa? 🤷🏽‍♀️
- A bursa is a fluid filled sac that acts as a cushion and lubricant between our tendons and muscles when they are sliding over bone.
The retrocalcaneal bursa is located at the back of the heel. It is where the large Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.

Causes:
- Overuse of the achilles tendon
- Poor footwear
- Foot biomechanics
- Direct trauma to the heel

Symptoms:
- Pain at the back of the heel
- Swelling and or redness at the back of heel
- Stiff ankle joint
- Pain that gets worse with movement

If you’re suffering from this, please ring up the clinic and book in with one of our podiatrists! ✅

Ankle rehabilitation 💪🏻✅

One of our main aims when rehabbing a patient back from an ankle injury is to develop stength and neuromuscular control.

Pictured is one great exercise we put some of our clients through to help improve their ankle stength and stability. Balancing on an uneven surface while focussing on a stimulus (basketball) allows all lower limb muscles to be activated which promotes strength, balance & proprioception.

What is “Synovitis” ?! 🤔

Synovitis is inflammation of the synovial membrane that lies within our joints. If the synovial membrane becomes irritated or inflamed it can create excessive synovial fluid which can make the joint much thicker and also more swollen then it’s normal representation. Overusing a particular joint is one of the most common causes for synovitis.

Synovitis can be very painful particularly when it occurs in weight bearing/high use joints such as your ankle or big toe joint.

Why do we 💙 calf raises?

Double leg & single leg calf raises are one of the most beneficial exercises to complete to improve lower limb, foot & ankle strength.

A calf raise is replicating walking, running and jumping; an activity we do on a daily basis. Ensuring we can do this to a high level would only make our daily activities much much easier!

A calf raise also activates all major muscle groups below the knee, therefore has an outstanding response to increasing strength and function. Calf raises are one of the more common exercises our podiatrists will hand out to their clients.
