Hi there! Hoping for some good tips 😉
My problem: On my right foot my arch tends to collapse in. As a child I had hip dysplasia on the right side, my right femur is always more internally rotated (since I can remember), for 7-9 months I’ve been doing exercises to strengthen the foot arch, tib anterior and also for the hip ext rotators/glute med. For the tib ant mostly thera band stuff, for the glute med also banded exercises as well as things like step ups that force the glute med to stabilize.

I have a desk job but try to sit for max 2-3hrs (for 4 days/week), but when I make an effort to stand more during work I get Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome on my left foot. My arch is way stronger on the left side than on the right. I recently introduced calf raises in my training, normal standing and bent knee for the soleus – which felt good. A few wks ago I added weight – and it feels like every since, with more standing at work and weighted calf raises the front part of my shins on the left side has gotten noticeably worse.

Any tips or help would me much appreciated!
I’m thinking of returning to calf raises without weight, keeping up with the banded work on tib anterior, foot arch exercises and with stability work for the glute med? Anything else or anything that I’m off on?
PS: How long does it take to actually build a decent foot arch? My right side still wants to collapse every chance it gets!

Thanks Michaela
