How I got rid of Peroneal Tendonitis after 3 years of agony–naturally, without pain in 2 weeks.

You’ve already realized how much this nagging pain and tenderness is making your life more difficult.

And these are other ways it might be impacting your life:

  • You’ve cut back on the activities you love—running, walking, even standing for too long
  • You occasionally feel the pain and soreness migrating elsewhere, like the knees, calves, and top of the foot
  • You’ve tried rest, ice, anti-inflammatory patches, ankle braces—nothing really fixes it
  • You feel like you’re stuck in this frustrating loop of flare-ups and false recoveries
  • And worst of all, it’s starting to mess with your confidence and quality of life

We know this, because Peroneal Tendonitis can affect anyone—and can last a lifetime if not treated early.

Why is Peroneal Tendonitis so hard to get rid of?

Great question. First, you need to understand why it happens in the first place.

You’ve got two main peroneal tendons running along the outside of your ankle. These tendons stabilize your foot every time you walk, run, or even shift your weight.

But if the muscles around them are weak, or your foot mechanics are off—like if you have high arches, past ankle sprains, or overpronated feet, those tendons end up doing too much work.

This can also happen from overuse or repetitive movements, like running, dancing, or sports.

Over time, that constant strain can cause the inflammation, pain, and tenderness you might be experiencing right now.

And unless you get to the root of the problem, it’ll just keep coming back.

Okay—so isn’t the solution just to rest my foot and ankle, or use a brace?

Not quite. Here’s the trap most people fall into:

Flare-up hits. You rest. Ice. Maybe strap on a brace. A few days go by… then a few weeks… maybe even months.

But while you’re waiting for the pain to “calm down,” your ankle is getting weaker. Your muscles are losing strength. And the weaker they get, the easier it is to flare up again.

Rest → Weakness → Reinjury → Repeat.

When you get stuck in this vicious cycle, you’re not healing. You’re just hitting pause on the problem.

What about custom orthotics?

A lot of people with Peroneal Tendonitis are told to try orthotics—especially if you have high arches or poor foot mechanics.

But orthotics won’t fix your Peroneal Tendonitis.

They support your foot temporarily, sure—but while this may help reduce strain on the tendons, and can alleviate some pain short term, they don’t actually get to the root of the problem.

And even if they manage to, by some miracle, get rid of the pain—what happens once those shoes are off?

What about surgery? Can’t they just fix the tendon?

It’s not that simple.

The peroneal tendons are tucked along the outer edge of your ankle—threading through tight spaces, wrapping behind the bone, and stabilizing your entire foot with every step.

That’s part of why surgery is so tricky. Recovery can take months, and in that time, you’re stuck in the vicious cycle once again—the longer you’re forced to rest, the weaker your muscles get, and the more of an uphill battle you’ll have to rebuild that strength.

Plus, surgery is painful, expensive, and there’s no guarantee that the pain won’t come back.

So unless your tendon is torn or ruptured, most doctors won’t recommend surgery at all.

So how do I get to the root of the problem and fix my Peroneal Tendonitis, for good?

The quickest, most pain-free way to fix Peroneal Tendonitis isn’t by “resting it” or replacing it.

It’s by strengthening the muscles around it.

Because the real issue isn’t just inflammation—it’s overload.

Your peroneal tendon is picking up the slack for weak stabilizing muscles.

So it gets overworked. Then irritated. Then injured.

The only way out?

Build strength in the right places.

That means targeting the small, stabilizing muscles in your foot and ankle. The ones that control balance, absorb shock, and keep your ankle from rolling out.

When those muscles get stronger, your peroneal tendon stops doing all the work.

The pain fades. Your movement improves. And you can finally get back to doing what you love—with confidence.

So how do I strengthen my peroneal tendons and go back to feeling normal again?

What actually works? Physical therapy.

This kind of targeted rehab does work. The strength and mobility exercises your PT will have you do are some of the most effective ways to treat Peroneal Tendonitis for good.

But while PT can be effective, it’s also:

Expensive. A 30-minute session can cost upwards of $100, so maxing out your insurance can happen quicker than expected…

Time-consuming. It can be tough to squeeze in weekly appointments into your hectic schedule, and move things around last-minute to accommodate a sudden flare-up…

Slow progress. Often, you end up only going about once a week, which means recovery takes a lot longer than if you were doing a little bit every day…

It’s no wonder so many people give up before they ever finish the full rehab process.

If PT is too expensive and time-consuming, what should I do?

You really have 3 options:

Option 1. Do Nothing

We don’t recommend this. Peroneal Tendonitis won’t go away on its own—the problems you face now will only get worse.

Option 2. Start Going to PT

The biggest problem here is price, but also time and convenience.

You’ll have to keep up with weekly appointments…

Shell out hundreds—more likely, thousands—of dollars…

Only to lose all the progress you’ve made once life gets busy and you miss a few appointments!

Option 3. Solve The Problem Yourself

There is now one affordable, at-home solution for people with Peroneal Tendonitis to fix their problems for good.

It’s called the AxisBoard balance board.

What is the AxisBoard?

It’s a compact, single-leg balance board designed to help you rebuild strength and stability in your foot and ankle—right from home.

In just 3 minutes a day, you can strengthen the muscles around your tendon for pain relief from Peroneal Tendonitis, and to avoid risks of re-injury.

It’s like having your own PT… at home!

There are no bulky frames, no complicated setups. Just a sleek, low-to-the-ground board that lets you target the exact muscles responsible for keeping your feet and ankles pain-free.

How does the AxisBoard fix my Peroneal Tendonitis?

The AxisBoard works by introducing controlled instability.

This forces the small stabilizing muscles around your peroneal tendon to activate, strengthen, and relearn how to support your movement.

It also comes with a 120-page manual developed by a physical therapist which teaches you the exact configurations and exercises to perform to overcome Peroneal Tendonitis—and avoid plenty of other common foot and ankle injuries!

Useful, targeted strengthening
I’ve had a bad ankle resulting in a very severe sprain many years ago. Recently the ankle has painfully frozen up (perineal tendinitis among other things), and I got the balance board as a way to supplement my current regime of stretches and strengthening exercises — because none of them can really get in the ankle and foot to work mobility, flexibility, and strength.I’ve had the single leg balance board for about a week, and it is simple yet effectively targets my foot, ankle, and lower leg that nothing else has done. It also does it in a way that limits the actual range of motion in the exercises to what is appropriate. So far, so good, and I’m going to let my PT know about it, as they were interested.

Rehab and Prehab Tool!
The AxisBoard has been a great tool to support for my recovery from chronic peroneal tendinopathy. I've been dealing with this issue because I returned to sport too quickly, but the AxisBoard has allowed me to go back to the basics and strengthen/activate those intrinsic muscles that will prevent future ankle sprains.

As Seen On:

Pain relief in as little as 2 weeks, just 3 minutes a day

With the AxisBoard, all it takes is a few minutes a day.

Start with the seated exercises, then work your way up to the standing ones—just 3 minutes is enough to activate the muscles that support your peroneal tendon.

As those stabilizers get stronger, the tendon gets a break. And that’s when real healing begins.

Once an exercise starts to feel easy, it’s time to level up to a more challenging configuration!

Most people start noticing relief in just 2–4 weeks.

How do I use the AxisBoard?

What’s the difference between the AxisBoard and a balance board I can get on Amazon for $30?

Great question.

There are four main differences between the AxisBoard and just any regular balance board you can find on Amazon, or build yourself with some extra pieces of wood.

  1. Effectiveness at treating Peroneal Tendonitis. Each board comes with a 120-page guide of strength and mobility routines designed by a PT, including ones specifically for overcoming Peroneal Tendonitis, so you never have to worry about guesswork or injuring yourself further.
  2. Targeted approach to pain relief. The AxisBoard comes in different configurations that let you adjust the pivot point and angle to target different muscle groups, which makes your training far more specific, speedy and effective.
  3. Quality. The Axisboard is built to last, unlike the cheap ones that can snap or crack after just a few uses.
  4. FSA/HSA eligible. Yes, Sidekick qualifies—check your benefits!
