So I went to see a chiropractor yesterday for ART, which I've heard can really help for my particular problem. He told me that I have a super tight tibialis anterior (outside of shin) muscle, which is in turn pulling on my arch and causing hyperpronation, and stretching out the posterior tibial tendon and making it weak. He did some ART on those muscles and was pretty convinced that after another visit I would be able to run again...which sounds great, but we shall see. In the meantime I am supposed to some stretches and foam-rollering to try to keep that muscle from tightening back up. One is standing up facing the wall, with my heel on the floor and toe up against the wall and pushing down. The other is kind of like a lunge but with the toes against the floor so it looks like you are dragging your foot.
