The Peroneus Brevis tendon helps you go up on your toes (plantar flexion) and also pulls the outside of the foot upwards (eversion). Its tendon attaches to the fifth metatarsal on the outside of the foot. This muscle can get very tight in runners especially those who run a lot on roads.
Symptoms
The symptoms generally are pain at the point of attachment to the foot.
What Can The Athlete Do?
Apply ice and rest.
Gently stretch the muscle if this does not produce pain.
