The cause of injuries has been debated for centuries with the blame often going to:
- bad luck
- old age
- overuse
- genetics
- overtraining
- not wearing supportive shoes
- running or jumping on hard surfaces
- nutritional deficiencies
- poor technique
- not cross training
- incorrect warm-up
In cases not involving blunt trauma, injuries and pain are caused simply by dysfunctional joints. Healthy or functional joints maintain joint centration during movement and return to a neutral starting point immediately after movement.
Joint centration is another way to saying optimal joint alignment. This is the most beneficial or optimal alignment of the joint surfaces to properly support the body and external forces and allow the desired movement. Joint centration allows balanced distribution of loads on the joint surfaces and supporting structures.

Injuries are prevented, or at least minimized, by maintaining healthy joints. How do you know if you have healthy joints?
