- Excessive loads in training
- Training errors

- Tight posterior chain (calf muscles, hamstrings
- Poor footwear

Ankle Injuries
Ankle pain usually develops due to injury to the ankle bones or soft tissue and in most cases, it occurs due to an ankle sprain or wear and tear. The best way to treat ankle pain is to get professional advice from a podiatrist.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
PTTD is a condition caused by changes to the tibialis posterior tendon impairing it’s ability to support the arch of the foot. This results in flattening of the foot over a period of time.

Bunions are deformities of the great toe, where the big toe migrates towards the second toe. Not all bunions are painful and some people may never experience pain but if you experience pain or discomfort, reach out to a podiatrist for assessment and management.
