How it works
Reduces the repetitive mechanical stress on the tibial periosteum that drives MTSS. Without load reduction, the periosteal stress response cannot resolve.
A 50–80% reduction in running volume typically needed. Cross-training with cycling or swimming maintains fitness without tibial loading. Return to running should be gradual — no more than 10% increase per week.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
