Chronic sports injuries – what if you just can’t get rid of them?
Time and again, that “simple” hamstring injury forces you to stop exercising.
Or persistent Achilles tendon complaints that keep recurring, despite treatments.
Recognizable?
If an injury flares up repeatedly, there is a high probability that the cause does not lie at the location where you feel the pain.

When treatment by a (sports) physiotherapist, manual therapist, or chiropractor yields insufficient results, it can be useful to take a broader perspective. Osteopathy can then be a valuable next step.
As manual therapists and (sports) physiotherapists, Marc van Leeuwen & Sten Bierens already looked beyond the symptom by approaching complaints from a kinetic chain perspective.
As osteopaths, they go one step further: always viewing the body as a single whole. It is precisely this approach that regularly produces surprising and structurally effective results.
🎧 In episodes 26 and 27 of the Osteo Talkings Podcast, Ton Van Der Heiden and Marc van Leeuwen delve deeper into chronic sports injuries.
Using clinical cases, they discuss topics including:
• Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS / shin splints)
• Chronic Achilles tendon injuries
Do you work with athletes, or have you been dealing with an injury yourself for a long time that just won’t heal? Then these episodes are guaranteed to provide new insights.
