In many industrialized countries, musculoskeletal conditions have become a national priority in recognition of the major health and economic burdens, they place on the community. While bone and cartilage have been at the center of these developments in recent years and in previous ESB workshops, the other tissues in the musculoskeletal system have received less attention from a public health point of view. However, during any type of movement, especially during sport, soft tissues within the human body are loaded too. An immediate response to such loading can be stimulation, pain or injury and long-term physiological processes can include mechanical adaptation.
