I have long suggested that the cause of an overuse injury in runners is the cumulative load in the tissues is beyond what the tissues can take, so the management is simply one of load management by reducing the load and/or increasing the ability of the tissues to take the load. Most assumed and identified risk factors are associated with either the increased cumulative load or the decreased ability of the tissues to take the load.
