The goal of this article is to examine the shift in the methodology involved in examining running injuries from a traditional foot-based, podiatric model to a pelvic tilt (specifically an anterior tilt) model. Also, this article proposes to thoroughly explain this new model of injury causation and offer a treatment strategy which combines ART® (Active Release Techniques) and DCT (Dynamic Contraction Technique) specific strength/stretching exercises which can function as both prehab and rehab for runners.
