Return to running is not a one-time clearance decision. It is a graded process that considers tissue status, strength, single-leg function, running load and recovery response. This article uses current guidance, consensus evidence and the BAIZE framework to explain how readiness can be reassessed.
The timing and progression of post-operative rehabilitation depend on the procedure, repaired tissue, concurrent restrictions and individual response. This article uses guidelines, consensus statements, systematic review evidence and the BAIZE framework to explain how protection and progressive loading can coexist.
Normal imaging does not make pain unreal, and an imaging abnormality is not automatically the source of pain. This article explains the relationship among imaging, pain and function through current evidence and the BAIZE framework.
Training load does not automatically equal harm. Drawing on sports-injury research and the BAIZE Capacity–Load Clinical Framework, this article examines how load, capacity, recovery and context shape adaptation.
Massage may have a useful role in rehabilitation, but lasting functional recovery commonly requires active capacity building, load management and reassessment.
Passive care and active training serve different roles. This article explains how symptom modulation can be connected to strength, endurance, control and load tolerance.
Pain returning after physiotherapy does not necessarily mean treatment failed. This article examines symptom fluctuation, re-exposure to load, recovery capacity and reassessment.
Massage may create a short-term window of symptom relief. This article explains how that window can be connected to capacity building, load management and functional recovery.
