A member asked:
Just like night splints stretch the calf is there a night splint that can stretch the tibialis posterior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not aware of any: The tibialis posterior contracts to produce inversion & assists the gastroc/ soleus (calf) in the plantar flexion of the foot/ ankle. With that being said, I do not believe there is commercialized splint marketed specifically for the tibialis posterior, but a generic night splint may help some. You may also be able to have someone fashion a splint for you at your ortho office.
