Our user asked: "Saw my Doc yesterday. Pain in foot probably the result of St. George Marathon overcompensating for a calf cramping issue in right leg leading to excessive strain on the left foot. Ultra sound showed fluid around peroneal tendon and possibly a small tear (though this was not noted in the MRI report). Prescribed 4 weeks of PT an dcome see me in 5 weeks. Probably back to running light at that point. Stick to non-impact cross training (water running, cycle, etc.) until then. PT will not be available until 11/16. I found your PT videos for Ankle/Peroneal strengthening. I want to start those now. Any recommendations?"
Ask a PT Response: "For my patients who have sustained an injury similiar to yours and are able to see me right away, I would have them minimize inflammation and edema by having them ice the affected area and wrap the ankle. I would also have them perform exericses to help maintain ROM and strength at the ankle ie. ankle isometrics and range of motion exercises. Definitely have them avoid high impact activities. Would than gradually progress patient to activities which involves higher impact (ie. stationary bike/swimming, walking/treadmill, elliptical, jogging, running). Would also perform some manual therapy to help decrease tissue irritability and maintain/increase joint mobility. Best of luck with yoru rehab."
