Tibialis Posterior Dysfunction/Tendinopathy

Tibialis posterior dysfunction or tendinopathy is a condition that affects the tibialis posterior tendon, a key tendon that helps support the arch of the foot and control foot movement. The tibialis posterior tendon runs along the inside of the ankle and attaches to the bones of the foot, playing a crucial role in maintaining foot stability and alignment.
