Ever wondered how those seemingly insignificant lateral compartments of your leg and foot function as crucial stabilizers for your ankle joint? We're about to unravel the intricacies of lateral compartment pain, its unique diagnoses, and presentations. Our mission is to make you see that the key to the right diagnosis often lies in truly hearing what the patient has to say. This podcast is our way of sharing precious knowledge, aiming to contribute to the greater professional community.

Join us as we welcome the expert insights of our esteemed guest, Sophie Fitt from Fitzroy Podiatry. Sophie brings her extensive experience to our discussion, and together we delve into the realm of peroneal pain treatment and management. We unravel techniques ranging from taping, massage, dry needling, to wedges, and even modifications to activity and training for managing proximal compartment issues on the lateral aspect. Sophie enlightens us on when to consider an ultrasound referral and the magic of dry needling in releasing a tight band of skeletal muscle. Whether you're in the profession or are someone trying to understand these maladies better, this episode is sure to be an eye-opener.
