• Excess supination is a primary cause of pain in this area.
• General muscle soreness is usually indicated by diffuse achy pain, in both legs, after or during a faster yoga or yoga pose. The soreness is not necessarily due to excess supination.
• Ankle sprains can stretch and injure these muscles and the associated tendons and ligaments.
• The fibula bone absorbs a significant amount of twisting or torque while yoga. Impact from faster yoga, and the resulting strong pull of the muscles, will increase pressure on the bone producing a stress fracture if the bone cannot adapt. These are not common.
• Ice and massage are effective initial treatments.

• An X-ray can usually determine if a stress fracture is present, but sometimes a bone scan or MRI is needed. Physical therapy is also helpful in many non fracture cases.
• When the injury is treated early, continued training is almost always possible, if the runner/walker stays below the threshold of irritation.
