Outside foot pain? The cuboid may be one area worth checking š
The cuboid is a small bone on the outside of the midfoot. It sits between the heel and the fourth and fifth metatarsals, helps form the lateral column of the foot, and acts as a pulley for the peroneus longus tendon.
Because of its location, it plays an important role in foot stability, transferring force, and pushing off while walking or running. Restrictions or irritation around the cuboid can contribute to lateral foot pain and affect overall foot function.
I donāt have to perform this adjustment very often, but sometimes itās exactly the area that needs attention. š¦¶
