If you’re dealing with personal tendonitis, taping techniques for the ankle and foot can help with the healing process and the return to normal activities. Keep reading to learn about the benefits of taping, how it works, and both kinesiology and athletic taping techniques.

Tendonitis pain to the peroneal tendon is most often caused by overuse or a quick increase in activity level, leaving the side of the ankle, foot, and lower leg feeling sore. However, peroneal tendonitis exercises that strengthen the foot and ankle can relieve pain and promote better muscle endurance. Keep scrolling to learn more the best exercises to relieve peroneal tendonitis.

Peroneal tendonitis stretches are the first line of defense for pain in the outside of the shin, ankle, and foot. This pain is commonly caused by muscle overuse, secondary to faulty biomechanics or a sudden increase in activity (particularly with running). Having a good stretching regimen can provide relief and possibly prevent further aggravation or injury. Keep reading to learn about stretches for peroneal tendonitis.

With overuse, poor footwear, or a variety of other reasons, the peroneal muscles along the outside of the foot and ankle become inflamed and irritated. Luckily, the majority of peroneal tendonitis treatments can remedy damage to this tissue, providing lateral stability to the ankle and foot. There are a lot of options for treating and recovering from tendonitis. Keep reading to learn how to treat tendon problems like peroneal tendonitis.

Running is a great way to stay active and healthy. However, when managing peroneal tendonitis, running can cause pain and frustration to your feet and lower leg. While inflammation of the peroneal tendons is less common than other running injuries, it should be taken seriously to ensure a healthy recovery.

The medial collateral ligament, or MCL, of the knee provides stability to the inner knee with weight bearing activities.

If you’ve suffered a MCL injury, treatment will be determined by the severity and focus on reducing pain and stabilizing the knee.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) provides stability to the knee joint and helps prevent excessive lateral movement that could compromise the structures of the knee.

What’s the difference between MCL vs ACL injuries? There are four ligaments of the knee designed to stabilize the knee and keep it functioning optimally with your daily activities.

The shoulder is the body’s most flexible and mobile joint, making it susceptible to dislocation—generally after a collision or hard fall. You can often diagnose a dislocated shoulder yourself and will want to seek medical care quickly.

If you are a contact sports athlete, have fallen hard on your shoulder, or just had some back luck that results in shoulder pain, there is a good chance you’ve dislocated your shoulder.

After a shoulder dislocation, exercise is a great place to get started with the recovery process. Shoulder dislocation most often requires a period of immobilization to allow the over-stretched tissues of the shoulder joint to heal and resume some semblance of stability.
