But to date, anti-inflammatory medications used to treat DMD do not appear to be effective in slowing progression of the disease....

The common denominator is often increasing running intensity (mileage or speed) too quickly. As physical therapists, we strongly urge patients to follow a return-to-running progression if they have taken an extended break from sports such as soccer, cross-country or track. Allowing for a gradual ramp up period is crucial if coming off a recent injury, or starting a new sports season after taking an extended break from running....
