The Tibialis Posterior is one of the most underrated muscles for fixing knee, ankle, and foot pain.
Weakness here shows up in countless injuries - yet most rehab overlooks it. Let’s break down why it matters & how to train it 👇

If your hamstrings always feel tight and you keep stretching them…
…you might actually be making the problem worse.
Here’s why - and what to do instead 🧵
McLean HS ATC retweeted
Here’s a simple drill to try instead:
✅ Lie on your back in a 90/90 position (hips & knees at 90°)
✅ Feet on a wall or shelf
✅ Gently drag heels down the wall to engage hamstrings
✅ Slightly posteriorly tilt your pelvis
✅ Breathe: in through nose, out through mouth, 5–10 breaths

There’s more to it than just stretching or “resting it out.”
You can’t just avoid impact as a runner—you have to train for it.
Our Running Prehab program helps you do exactly that. No fluff. Just what actually works.

Training foot “strength” (or foot exercises in general) can look different for someone who just had surgery or is currently non weightbearing compared to a healthy athlete.
