Running: examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
Remember that athletes are a special breed of person. They are usually determined and progressive in their thinking. Athletics is an essential part of their lives, and many cannot do without the activity. Do not deprive them of this opportunity. To simply say "Stop what you are doing and the pain will go away" is not sufficient. You must examine, prod, and badger the athlete for answers. Help the athlete overcome the injury and put him on the right road to recovery. This is an essential part of practice. Not only will the athlete be delighted, but it will give the practitioner immense satisfaction to see the athletes happy and running.
