Cover Story: SHORT INTRODUCTION: Running is one of the most popular sports worldwide and a way to stay in health. However, the literature data report that most recreational runners have at least one running-related Injury each year. Indeed, the repetitive loads given by running can cause multiple concomitant injuries, such as Low Back Pain, and often it is not easy to correctly frame each one in the differential diagnosis process of possible concurrent diseases. Since Haglund’s syndrome is a painful musculoskeletal condition caused by an exostosis of the posterior superior part of the calcaneus, coupled with Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis, its diagnosis is a challenge for physical therapist in direct access settings. Therefore, this case report highlights the central role of PTs working in direct access environments that are able to properly manage and refer patients beyond their scope of practice.
