Management would be the general management of any overuse/overload type injury or trigger point therapy if indicated.
Abductor hallucis inhibition:
This is a poorly described and understood concept that may be related and have a similar pain pattern.
Typically, a cuboid mobilization can often give a spontaneous resolution to symptoms.
