3 Exercises for Peroneal Tendonitis

[@MySongs-25]

Having a pain in my outer calf and big toe more than a year! Doc prescribed drug and Ortho prescribed pricy orthopedic linings and shoes . Did 7 ostheopathic session - everything with no result. Tried many exercises from youtube- no avail. First time I feel that these exercises deal with real thing! It doesn't hurts right now!! Thousand thanks doc, what an impact!!

[@RehabScience]

That’s so awesome to hear! Sometimes, it takes a bit of experimenting before you are able to find the tissue that is causing symptoms. It may be that the peroneal muscles were the root cause of your pain.

[@LUZACK]

Oh man... Finally... After so many months the pain has subsided... Bless you good man 👍🏻🙏.

[@trevorm3181]

Which exercise(s) did you do?

[@LUZACK]

​@@trevorm3181 The second and third. But I think the third excercise helped me the most.

Could pain at the 5th metatarsal while walking/running be a symptom of peroneal tendonitis? There was no trauma like an ankle sprain. Thank you for your helpful content.

[@RehabScience]

Yes, the peroneal tendon can definitely hurt in that region. I would give these a try and see if they help.

[@Jessicamae1988]

Yes I would love to know this also! I have really bad sciatica and it feels like it radiates down to the side of my calf down into my ankle. My lower leg and ankle and it goes down into my 5th metatarsal. I can barely walk it gets so bad and I can’t walk normally. I’m having to more limp and turn my foot a certain way. I also know it hurts and aches when I sit Indian style on the sofa and that ankle is on bottom. Could this be the same thing and could sciatica be a cause?

[@darylpike5738]

Hi. I have a question. How can I tell if my issue is not peroneal, but something else, like sciatica? I've had sciatica in the past, but this feels different. I can feel the ache on the outside of my calve into my foot, even when I'm lying down, resting. I don't remember having that with sciatica. Thanks in advance.

[@mazzarati]

My issue is from a basketball rebound. Landed on someone’s foot then rolled my ankle but my ankle is fine. It’s the peroneal nerve in my knee that hurts.

[@colinluckens9591]

I don't understand why do you need the band for the last exercise? Couldn't you just as easily do exactly the same thing without the band??? Also I wondered do these exercises help pain on the outside ANKLE as well as the outside of the lower leg?? Thank you!

[@RehabScience]

The placement of the band under the big toe, helps encourage activity in the ankle evertor muscles. Without the band, people often will not raise up so that their weight is over their big toe, which means the peroneals (ankle evertors) are less active. These muscles run up the entire length of the outside of the lower leg, so they will work the ankle and the outside of the lower leg.

ive had 2 surgeries on the left ankle in 9 months. First was for an OCD and 10 mm cyst. then 8 months later mri showed a split tear in the peroneal brevis near the outside bone and had surgery on that. now in therapy 5 months and still do not have 100% stability. What else can help??. and my heel on that foot is really getting sore and tender after standing 4 hrs at work

[@Nixijokenzi]

Whooo 🤕 that 3rd one really hurt y ankle. Is there a lower impact one to do instead?

[@CrimsonWolff]

Thank you for this. The military docs just give me motrin and think this is a shin splint. I've had problems with one side and I'm 99% sure it's this muscle. I've twisted that ankle many times over the years. I will try these and take a break from running!

[@0MehLow]

Did it work?

[@CrimsonWolff]

@0MehLow the exercises help for sure. Now they think it might be compartment syndrome on my leg.

[@johnjohn1802]

Hello, I have an issue with posterior tibial displacement and peroneal tendinitis. I wonder if you’re familiar with this combination of issues stemming from minor peroneal nerve damage and a full pcl tear. I’ve made a lot of progress with rehab but these two issues are slowing me down a bit. Thank you

I have developed peroneal tendinophaty due to weakness calf. I have a bad perfomance doing exercises to strengthen the calf because I feel a lot of pain in the tendon. But I need to strenghten the calf to remove the overload on the tendon. What should I do?

[@CrocusSeal]

If I feel pain on the outer edge of my heel is that peroneal tendonitis?

These exercises have helped me a lot however I still have pain where the peroneal brevis inserts to the fifth metatarsal, has anyone has this pain ? Has anyone had any relief ?

[@NoahTomlinn]

So good ❤

[@RehabScience]

Thank you 🙏

[@zazenforever4940]

Im going to try these. I will get soreness spasm under my ankle from time to time. Its my non dominant leg where it happens and my balance isnt great on this leg. It often happens when I am walking around a corner, or extending my leg to get out of a car. Is streching the calf useful for this as well, or dorsiflexion as in your ankle sprian video? Should these be done daily? Thanks.

[@gabrielsotomayor2703]

How often should you do these exercises if you're having moderate pain? I've been having recurring flare-ups for the past couple months each morning the day after going on a run, but they go away after a day or two of not running. I'm trying to train for a marathon that's in about 3 months, so really hoping that I can run about 4 days a week.

[@RehabScience]

What you are experiencing is very common with tendon pain. The pain will reduce with a couple of days of rest, and then return when the tissue is loaded again. I would recommend trying to perform these exercises 3 to 4 days per week to strengthen the tendons. It would probably be best to do these on non-running days, so that you aren’t loading the tissue too much.

[@gabrielsotomayor2703]

@@RehabScience Thank you so much for this video, these exercises worked amazingly for me, my pain that had been there for weeks totally went away after doing them just for about two days, so I've just been doing them about once a week since just in case.

[@joelanglois325]

Do I have to avoid hack squat and leg press when I have this?

[@RehabScience]

Not usually. However, if they cause your pain to flare up, then you may need to modify or temporarily remove them from your program.

[@drheshampt]

When will complete pain lectures series ??

[@RehabScience]

I will try to do more soon. Sorry for the long gap between lectures.

[@Amansingh-oc5dx]

I think never because pain doesn't won't leave you alone....

[@Kirankumar-pi3tg]

hey for the second exercise is it must to sit back and move sidewards or just straight back will do the job?

[@RehabScience]

For the lateral squat walk, you really want to move side to side to challenge and strengthen the peroneal muscles.

[@nelsonortiz9617]

My pain is not anywhere near my ankle but higher up near the knee. Extreme tightness along my peroneal tendon near the knee whenever I attempt knee over toe. Will these exercises help that?

[@RehabScience]

Yes, these exercises can also help with pain at the other peroneal attachment near the knee.

[@davidkenny4264]

Can you do this with mild discomfort in the Peroneal tendon? Or will that worsen the condition

[@RehabScience]

Yes, with tendon issues, it’s OK to experience mild to moderate discomfort during the exercises as long as it doesn’t flare your pain up afterwards.

[@95AP]

Randomly came across this video. I may have missed it but any chance any of these exercises can help strengthen this area? Example if you’re kickboxing and get calf kicked. May be completely different but was just curious

[@M_Editz11]

I'd doubt it

[@nekonori9603]

Hello, I wanted to ask what type of ankle issue I have. When I press my heel it hurts a lot, I haven't done any sport for two months and I thought it would be better but it's getting aggravated when I jump. Please help, thank you.

[@RehabScience]

Is the pain on the bottom of your heel or the back side of your heel? If it’s on the backside of your hill, then it’s probably related to where your Achilles tendon attaches.

[@nekonori9603]

@@RehabScience I did a bit more research, it's around the calcaneus bone. I feel like my heels aren't strong enough for the weight of my body and the area around the calcaneus is tender. Is there a way to strengthen my heels?

My tightness/pain is at the top the fibular head and the calf muscle beside almost concaves. I can't recall an injury except a rolled ankle years ago (I do have overpronation in the foot on that side). Do other people get the pain near the knee?

[@anneis8319]

I do close to the knee

[@Papayacoconut1234]

I bad the same, both the muscles as in the video bit also in the fibula head. Try to search tib fib adjustment, dont recall the video now. Basically an inward twist in the joint by the fibula head, could be the bone getting stuck and not moving as it should

[@lydiadugan8368]

Is an ordinary strap from yoga okay?

[@RehabScience]

It just needs to be an elastic strap, so that you can strengthen the muscles.

[@juvecrow7995]

What about stretches

[@RehabScience]

There aren’t many stretches for the peroneal muscles. Inverting the ankle (pointing the foot and turning it in) can be used to stretch these muscles a bit.

You do these after you heal from peroneal tendonitis or before in order to strenghten and stabilize those muscles-tendons so you don't get injured again
