San Francisco Podiatrist and Marathon Runner Explains San Francisco, CA - March 31, 2010 The vague stinging and burning sensation emanating from a blister can easily detract from your focus during a marathon. The more you think about it, the worse it gets. The next thing you know, your pace is off, you speed up and slow down because of this unpleasant distraction. When you walk through a water station, it just gets worse, and you start to limp. After the race, running is out of the question. You may even limp for days while back at work. This is almost always preventable. |

Posterior Tibial Tendonitis and Tendinosis for Runners By Dr. Christopher Segler When you run, your foot hits the ground, you pronate to absorb impact and then you supinate to push off again. All of this is possible because of a muscle in your leg call the tibialis posterior. This muscle deep in the back of your leg forms a tendon call the posterior tibial tendon that attaches to your foot. It attaches to the navicular bone in the instep of your foot, right at the top of your arch. In the very simplest of terms, this tendon helps to hold up the arch. It is really much more complex than that, but we won’t bore you with the details. All you really need to know about this is that when you get posterior tibial tendinitis it can quickly progress and become a surgical problem. |
