Personal experience supports the concept that running injuries can be treated in many different ways. The most appropriate and efficient way to manage these injuries is through respecting the healing tissue, retraining the tissues to perform a function, and then making those tissues stronger and more powerful in order to perform at one's best. This path is easily demonstrated through sport-specific strength training for running injuries.
