Answer 1

extrinsic and intrinsic factors

Question 2

Extrinsic factors that contribute to overuse

Answer 2

equipment
surface
load
recovery

Question 3

intrinsic factors that contribute to overuse

Answer 3

biomechanics (alignment, flexibility)

other (nutrition, injury baggage, bone health)

Question 4

what can PT do for overuse injuries

Answer 4

even though equipment puts you over the injury line, the extrinsic factor of training load we can do
