RE: compromised peroneus longus and tibialis posterior

From: http://www.youtube.com/user/FetishFootageForum Hey massage nerd - my question is this..

From my internet reading.. at:
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/podiatry/myofasc/peroneals.html
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/podiatry/myofasc/tibialisposterior.html

I got the impression that a compromised peroneus longus and tibialis posterior went hand in hand in the case of ankle instability and heel pain - which seems to be the case for me.
ie 'peroneal muscles should also be examined as they often contain active TrPs when tibialis posterior is involved'. In my case, I often have mild to severe achilles tendonitis in the morning, which improves as it warms up. When running I no power through the affected calf, compared to the good leg. I've tried to find further info but drawn a blank. Can you comment on whether this makes any sense, and any further references you may suggest?

Thanks and regards
David

Thanks a million man! Yeah, I hurt my peroneus area back in 2004 sept. Man it gives me the limps sometimes it hurt so bad. Been working with those strengthening exercises for soleus, and peroneus areas. Actually able to run again (little bit) But it's taken 6 yrs. Tried the trigger point after this vid and it was SORE! WOW! Could a lot of the pain i've had be referred from this trigger point?

massagenerd- I've been living with chronic ITB syndrome from sprinting and overuse leading to weakness and imbalances. But even more painful is seemingly my peroneus and the antagonistic pairs of my calf and tibialis anterior have poor function. Can you please advise anything to help me treat this pain? If I get my IT band sorted will it improve?
