MUSCLES OF LATERAL COMPARTMENT OF LEG

THERE ARE 2 MUSCLES WHICH ARE

• Peroneus longus
• Peroneus brevis

 STRETCHING EXERCISE

Turn the focus away from the calf muscles and toward the peroneals by turning slightly to the side, rolling the outside of the lower leg rather than the back of the lower leg. Roll the tender area of the peroneals for at least 30 seconds.

STREGTHENING EXERCISE WITH THE HELP OF RESISTANCE BAND

• Tie your resistance band to a sturdy object such as a sofa leg.
• Place your foot in the loop and evert it against the resistance while keeping the rest of the leg as still as possible.
• Perform 10-20 repetitions before switching sides

EXERCISE FOR PERONEAL MUSCLES

To do calf raises, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, lift up onto your tip toes and hold for a full second. Slowly lower yourself back down and repeat. To increase the resistance with this exercise, place a weighted barbell across the top of your shoulders or hold a set of dumbbells at your sides.
