Podiatry Treatment for Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) in Chelmsford, Essex

At Chelmsford Physio, we provide podiatry-led physiotherapy to help reduce pain, improve foot strength, and restore mobility for those with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) in Chelmsford and surrounding areas.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition where the tendon that supports the arch of your foot becomes inflamed, overstretched or torn. It commonly affects adults and may lead to flat feet and pain along the inside of the ankle and foot.

If left untreated, PTTD can worsen over time and cause long-term mobility issues. Symptoms often include swelling, difficulty standing on tiptoes, and pain during walking or physical activity. PTTD is typically caused by overuse, injury, or gradual wear and tear. Early diagnosis is important. The sooner it’s addressed, the easier it is to manage and treat.

Podiatry treatment plays a key role in managing Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. At Chelmsford Physio, we begin with a full assessment to check how your feet and ankles are moving. We may recommend custom insoles (orthotics) to support your arch and reduce strain on the tendon.

Treatment can also include hands-on therapy, exercises to strengthen the foot and ankle, and advice on suitable footwear. In some cases, taping or bracing may be used to help stabilise the foot. Our aim is to reduce pain, restore normal movement, and stop the condition from progressing. We focus on long-term recovery, helping you move comfortably and confidently again.
