In todays video we talk about what Peroneal Tendonitis is, what causes it and what we can do to help facilitate rehabilitation for this condition.

What is Peroneal Tendonitis?

Peroneal tendonitis is an irritation to the tendons that run in a groove, behind the bony prominence on the outer aspect of the ankle. The two tendons involved are the Fibularis longus and Fibularis brevis. The tendonitis usually occurs because these tendons are subject to excessive repetitive forces during standing and walking. Certain types of feet (ex. high arched feet or feet with misaligned heels that are inclined or tilted inwards) tend to increase the repetitive forces that the peroneal tendons are exposed to, and predisposed these individuals to the risk of peroneal tendonitis.

Why Stretch?

Controlled stretching is known to increase collagen synthesis and improve muscle fiber organization. Better organization may result in stronger muscles and tendons after recovery.

The goal of stretching is to prevent problems due to adhesions, shortening, or improper healing in the tendon.

Check with your therapist to see if these stretches can help to decrease symptoms and maintain flexibility in the ankle and calf following peroneal tendonitis. Once over the acute phase of the injury you can start to focus on strengthening the foot and ankle to prevent the injury re occurring.
