Mechanical Stress Quantification

Mechanical Stress Quantification

Online event
Wednesday, Apr 22 from 6:30 pm to 8 pm UTC
Overview

Free webinar: Learn how mechanical stress quantification can help prevent injury, guide rehab and support safer return to sport.

Physical activity is a powerful tool for promoting health. However, one of its most common adverse consequences is overuse injury, typically caused by excessive mechanical stress applied to specific tissues. Each year, nearly one in two runners sustains an injury — a rate that has remained unchanged for decades despite the rise of interventions such as cushioned footwear, foot orthoses, and various stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy approaches.

Mechanical stress quantification, developed by The Running Clinic, offers a simple, reproducible, and rigorous framework to guide patients, active workers, and athletes toward injury prevention, optimal rehabilitation, and a safe return to sport.

Using a clinical worksheet and practical examples, this lecture will present the theoretical and scientific foundations of this approach, alongside its real-world applications to better support tissue adaptation.
