Main topic

Multifactorial injury causation

Key takeaway

Injuries emerge from a cocktail of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors plus the actual inciting event, not from one magic culprit.

Why it matters

Stops us blaming single factors like ‘weak glutes’ and forces a broader, context-heavy risk assessment.

My take

Any rehab plan that hangs the whole story on one dodgy muscle is comedy, not science, fight me.
