What it is

Understanding running injury treatment

Running injuries — shin splints, runner's knee, Achilles issues, ITB pain, stress reactions — are almost always load problems: too much, too soon, or loaded through mechanics that concentrate stress.

Common symptoms

  • Pain that builds during or after runs
  • Shin, knee, hip, or Achilles pain
  • Morning stiffness in the affected tendon
  • Pain that forces walk breaks or shorter runs
  • Recurring injuries every training block

Common causes

  • Rapid increases in mileage or intensity
  • Insufficient recovery between hard sessions
  • Running mechanics that concentrate load
  • Strength deficits in the hips and calves
  • Footwear changes or worn shoes

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

We assess your running history, strength, and mechanics, then treat with a combination of load management (usually modified running, rarely full rest), targeted strengthening, and gait retraining where it matters. You'll get a clear plan for returning to full mileage.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. A one-on-one assessment is the right way to find out what's going on with your body.
