Strengthening Posterior Tibial Tendon:
Known as Shin Splints with front toe rises using the Squat Sponge 18 long, 3.5diameter Olympic Barbell Pad!
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is a problem with the tendon connecting one of the lower leg muscles to the foot bone; It can cause pain, swelling, and a flattened foot and may require surgery if left untreated. Normal treatment includes physical therapy and exercise. In treating similar conditions in the lower leg, exercises that are active, like toe rises which strengthens the area, seem to have better results than just stretching. Adding strengthening exercise like the toe curls is very beneficial to runners cure of Shin splints. All runners at point fall to this pain Jesse Owens, Carl Lewis and Olympians.

Toe curls Description:
Proform strengthening exercises progressively longer each time for up to 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 30 repetitions twice weekly. Sit on the end of a bench feet about 12apart, rest a barbell on top of your toes (I recommend using the Squat Sponge barbell pad) curl your toes up hold for one count return it to neutral and repeat. By Strengthening the Tibialis Posterior will help to fully develop the Calves muscles for Bodybuilders and Runners alike. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu and Cory Everson all used the front toe raise to fully balance their legs.

The squat sponge can also help Develop a stronger grip by squeezing the squat sponge. I discovered this after I tore my bicep, after a few weeks no left arm exercises my grip get very weak. By squeezing the squat sponge pad it helped me to recover from my weak hand grip. Squeezing the squat sponge not only keeps your hands firm it strengthen your fingers and the tendons and muscles running the length of the forearm.
