Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I have seen this with other students. It is my humble opinion that if she is really grounding her thighs, drawing the muscles of the inner and outer thighs upwards, and of course grounding the big toe root, then the stress on her peroneals may be relieved. students with this problem could be holding themselves up by'bracing their feet instead of using the lengthening contractions of the leg muscles and, of course, the bandhas. sorry to get so detailed but their is also a lateral arch of the foot which can become collapsed, so by lifting that arch consciously the pressure might alleviate. --- crucesyogi <no_reply> wrote: > In Prasarita Padottasana, a student is experiencing > pain in her > peroneus longus (muscle on side of lower leg).
