Laura Anderson

Laura Anderson, physiotherapist and PhD researcher studying medial tibial stress, argues for renaming ‘medial tibial stress syndrome’ to Load-Induced Medial Leg Pain (LIMP). She explains why the old name drives fear and poor care. Topics include what tissues might be involved, inconsistent imaging, clinical clues to distinguish bone injury from LIMP, load-management strategies, allowable pain rules, strengthening, gait retraining risks, and prevention research.
