Cuboid Syndrome Holistic Treatment Hesch Method

[@talkwithstrangers]

student osteopath here.. this is an invaluable resource. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Thank you for the kind words the literature is still all about the cuboid whip but this approach is more thorough.

[@JeLifeCoach]

Great post @Jerry Hesch! Thanks for all your videos and taking the time to share your hard work! You are doing great things! Keep going!!!

[@marvelaturraz5405]

I whole-heatedly agree! This is the best educational demonstration of structural subluxations of the foot I've yet seen! Thank you, Dr. Hesch! People can benefit SO MUCH from this. Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you so much for the knowledge of the cuboid bone. I have suffered off and on for the past 10 years with pain. I’ve seen doctors,gotten X-rays, an MRI, cortisone shots and nothing has helped. Now that I know it is a matter of manipulation and exercise I feel that there is hope of getting to recovery.

[@jerryheschsr]

I have helped some with chronic cuboid syndrome. Balancing transverse plane movement in subtalar joint and navicular oftentimes liberates cuboid but sometimes it does need the opposite of the cuboid whip to restore pronation of the cuboid. Mine was stuck after a trauma and rather that whip it I took a few minutes to glide it upwards and the 30-oscillations, then addressed the aforementioned, "once and done"! If you ever travel to CO I am near the airport. I can't promise that this is true, but I hope so: " Now that I know it is a matter of manipulation and exercise"

Jerry, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge - helped me fix my cuboid at home after having severe pain (first thought it was a sprain, but cuboid treatments really nailed it as it seems, thanks!)

[@thecappy]

Holy shit! Thank you! 3 weeks I couldn't walk. Hobbling around every where. Wife was unable to do the whip technique. Watched the bit about manipulating the foot a couple times before I did it. Pop! I can walk again, slight strain/stiffness in the tendons from hobbling but I can walk normally now. Thank you again.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Happy for you thank you!

[@deannagreaves7544]

excellent information - I'm a physio and was so frustrated with this exact problem in my own foot and unable to work out how to treat it when everything else was not working for me. Very clear anatomical teaching and very logical. I sat and mobilised my way around my foot as you were lecturing as best I could to myself and by the end of the lecture I had substantial improvement. Now I need to sit through it a few times to learn it so I can pass on the assessment and treatment to my students.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Hi Chris, I am sorry to hear of your injury. Unfortunately it is so difficult to offer advise without seeing a person, but it is good that you are seeing someone. Please share your concerns with them and ask them if there is anything else to consider. I hope you are also following up with your doctor. I wish you the best.

[@jmcraefootdoc]

Thank you for an excellent review on cuboid syndrome and anatomy!

[@TheFrescamari]

Thank you for this video. I hope this information gets spread because I feel that it would help a lot of people out there, especially people like me who want to be able to run but encounter a stumbling block when they have a lack of mobility in these joints which results in pain or injury.

[@Paddy818]

Thank you for this video. You spoke with my wife the other day by and this combined with the info you gave her are very helpful to us in understanding the structure of the foot and placement of the cuboid.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

You are welcome!

[@tappoandpippa]

Dear Mr. Hesch, Thank you so much for this thorough video on the cuboid and related structures. I have a cuboid / ligament injury from 1986 that still bothers me. I wish the doctors and therapists I saw so many years ago could have seen this video. After watching you speak and manipulate all those feet, I am ready to fly down there for an appointment! I hope you have a following -- because no one ever gave me a fraction of the info about my injury that you just described. Keep it up!

[@NelsonBiglar]

Great video. I'm trying to figure out a talus impingement causing some lack of complete dorsiflexion. Now I think the lateral cuneiform along with cuboid may be an issue along with talus. I supinate on this ankle with somewhat a Rearfoot varus and forefoot valgus. Interesting thing is when I push/bend my 3rd toe down i get pain up that metatarsal. Not pain in Cuboid area. Mostly lack of motion or tightness. I like the way you open up the lateral cuneiform to the cuboid to get it open more. I'm now concerned the calcaneus is somehow involved with your explanation of how much it moves etc. This lack of dorsiflexion has caused ongoing issue with full hip extension of which is getting better the more I understand and can get more mobility ideas. Thank you on this.

[@KevinSmithdc]

Superb video. Thank you very much for sharing this information with the world.

[@joepoti1117]

You're the kind of guy that if you ask him what time it is he build you a watch

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

And that is precisesly what you want when you are seeing a healthcare practitioner for a chronic condition. This comprehensive approach to cuboid syndrome is so much more than the basic "cuboid whip". Yes, sometimes the problem is more complex. Thank you for the compliment!

[@evientually]

WOW. I'm dealing with a foot injury that remains "mysterious". I feel like after looking things up--and obviously, being the one to feel it--it's obviously a cuboid something. But it's not showing on X-Ray, and after two months of being completely unable to walk on my left foot I am hoping that I'll get referred to an osteopath with as much knowledge (and obvious genuine interest!) as yourself, to figure out whatever it is. I know that when I apply any of the cuboid manipulations I've found, it seems to be exactly the right area and while it is very painful while I'm applying them, afterwards it feels so much better. I hesitate to go into an appointment saying "it's this" because I obviously don't know that. It could well be something else within the area that just responds to these manipulations. It's a complicated area within a complicated practice, and just generally, who went to medical school? Who studied this in detail? Sure wasn't me, so I try to just give symptoms as they are without being leading. I'm in a lot of pain, so whether it's the cuboid or a bone spur or a demon possession I am really hoping that I wind up in the care of someone as involved in his or her profession as you seem to be. I lived in Las Vegas briefly, but it certainly wasn't in a great time of my life and I'm not in any hurry to come back! The area gets a rep for its vices obviously, but it really has a wealth of talented medical professionals too. Your patients are very lucky.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Thank you Deanna and all. IF not included in the video, I do a "medical glide" to the material portion of the talus capturing the lateral malleolus and just inferiorly and slightly anteriorly. I like 2 minutes with a rolled washcloth under calcaneus. This is the very last hands-on thing I do after all the other sequentially if encountered.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

13:30 should be superior tibio-fibular joint, I erroneously said fibulo-talar! It is a good thing that meaning is contained contextually such that most viewers understood what I meant, in spite of my semantic inaccuracy. I hope I emphasized thet the mobilization procedures require up to 30 reps while constantly taking up the slack, hence moving into new barrier as motion is gained. Alternately a maintined force for 60 seconds or greater is ideal, for Viscoelastic creep/deformation. Not jiggle!

[@Slayerized2701]

Great video. Thanks

[@chadprillwitz2739]

Can cuboid pain cause peroneal longus strain?

[@docfreedaddy]

Can you provide a referral for someone well-qualified to address a chronic cuboid injury in the Monterey, California/San Jose/ San Francisco area?

[@gegaoli]

How do I find someone locally that understands how to treat this?

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Go to www.aaompt

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

If no success se me in Denver for details see patient section www.HeschInstitute.com

[@camoandretti2757]

This is directly my injury! Can someone assist me?!

That's the problem of my right foot. I need help huhuhu

[@carol-annelong6720]

I broken my cuboid bone back 2011 it hurts its giving me bother and problems

[@dnice4441]

Did u end up writing that paper?

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

No but in time

CI BORD CLUB LA ? EN FRANCAIS

[@BantiarnaMacRaghnaill]

I pissed off my cuboid 30 years ago and it was never properly treated. I did it again 10 years later and it bothered my for 5-6 years then stopped. Today, it suddenly started up again for no reason, it seems. This time, I'm seeking therapy. Btw, watching you manipulate that foot made me cringe. Lol

sorry I do not speak your language can you post in English?

[@jerryheschsr]

Thank you. If ever in Las Vegas you can schedule an eval if interested. If you find local help, be sure to have them screen the midfoot mobility, same for talo-crural and subtalar, and rest of joints as they all interact and can perpetuate cuboid syndrome. No follow up studies yet in literature. Best Regards, Jerry hesch

[@jerryheschsr]

Hi Saad happy to hear of your results!

[@jerryheschsr]

You could go to the AAOMPT web site and see if you find someone, or look in phone book for orthopedic manual physical therapist. However, would ask for a brief phone consult. Unfortunately, my Type II Cuboid Syndrome is NOT well understood. Typically for cuboid syndrome just the cuboid is mobilized, per literature. The way it is taught may be at fault, mobilization taught individually, I recognize and treat as complex pattern involving multiple systems, soem far away albeit inextricably linked.

[@jerryheschsr]

If you ever go to Las Vegas, I am 30 minutes from airport.

[@jerryhesch1289]

How kind! I just got a negative blast on another post, appreciate your kind words. Jerry
