How To Beat Cuboid Syndrome From Home | Ed Paget

Lateral foot pain that comes from the cuboid bone not moving properly is commonly called Cuboid syndrome. If you are sure that your cuboid bone needs help getting back into optimal position this video is for you.

Here’s the obligatory disclaimer: obviously this is not medical advice and should not be taking such. if you have foot pain please get a diagnosis from a qualified professional.

You will need a yoga strap and am AA size battery.

First familiarize yourself with the location and shape of the keyboard. A quick Google search can help you do this. If there is a painful area exactly over the bottom of your foot then try this.

Lie facedown and put a yoga strap around your thigh and foot.
Tighten it so that when you go to straighten your leg you feel the pressure increasing over your cuboid.

Now for more focused pressure you can slide the battery underneath the yoga strap.

Simply just straightening your leg will be enough to provide the adjustment to the bone, but if you want more you can use your hand to add leverage to your heel.

Sometimes this can be painful, other times you may simply hear a small click in your foot and then a sense of relief as the bone adjusts back to its optimal position.

I’ve been unable to walk for 2 months and unable to get an appointment with podiatrist, none of the pt exercises worked until this. Thank you so much!

[debrac]

I would like to thank your videographer. Excellent you got the ideal angle of for the shoot. Thanks!

Hey Ed, Thank you for producing this instructional. This is the first time I've tried something that works this well for moving the Cuboid.

[crischalk]

Thanks, Ed, could hardly walk yesterday, pain came from out of nowhere, found this, used a ratchet srap as I don't have a yoga band and almost instant relief.

[jenniferjones]

Brilliant! Bravo! and yes, many thanks to your vidographer.

[BrentUMD]

Thank you for this. I used two yoga resistance bands and I felt significantly better within a few hours.

[Drstephenstokes]

Extremely helpful and pleasant video to watch. Thank you.

[cam.actual]

Thank you!! I just used my Jiu Jitsu belt and got instant relief after a couple of weeks of pain!!

[Tego]

Trying this soon as I wake up. Been in pain for weeks

[zailkhalsa]

Thanks Doc. I'm a chiro and I couldn't find anybody to do the cuboid whip to me.

[Christian]

I'll try this next time, great instructional, thanks!! My cuboids (both) sometimes dislocate (i have menieres disease, and i think the balance issues has affected my gait, causing it), and its soo painful and my foot just locks up almost completely. For some reason it tends to start in the day, but then get really bad while i sleep, causing me to wake up in pain

[nolayd]

Thank you for this demo. I’m going to go try it. Fingers 🤞

[takecareboii]

Can you link to where I can buy a band like this on Amazon??

[fjori]

Thanks to this exercise, I don't have pain when I walk

[tracyleach]

Do you have any ideas for when the cuboid is fixated in the opposite direction, ie not dropped but stuck more dorsally?

[reqen]

i also have a lump where my cuboid is it that normal?

[takecareboii]

Also if I’m having bad pain to where I can barely walk after my 10 mile run how long should I give it before running again

[holiholly]

Is it possible for the Cuboid to be up instead of drop... I have tried self-adjusting and using my activator (chiropractic tool) and when I push my fifth metatarsal down it really hurts between the proximal end and the cuboid. Can't get any relief with other physical therapy including ultrasound, ice, shoes, KT tape etc... x-rays clear.

[rameezadams]

Hey thanks for this if I don’t have a yoga strap can I use a Belt perhaps ?

[davidrichards]

This is great thanks. However my cuboid has popped ‘up’, not down. Do you have any suggestions for how to fix that by any chance? Thanks
