The posterior tibial tendon connects the lower leg to the ankle and foot. It is the anatomical part that allows athletes to walk, run, flex, and bend the foot and ankle, making it one of the most important in the body. Symptoms of tendonitis include muscle weakness, joint tightness, limited range of motion, instep pain, pain inside the foot that spreads into the leg, and even changes in foot shape. The pain area can be tender to the touch and can appear red, warm, or swollen. Posterior or anterior tibial tendonitis often has a gradual onset, getting progressively more painful over the course of a few days or weeks.
The RapidForce I Shape is designed to help reduce pain in the foot or ankle, especially pain caused by posterior tibialis tendonitis. The I Shape adheres to the skin on the outside of the foot, and is wrapped around the foot, creating dynamic structural support.
