Summary

This study compares two treatments for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), a condition causing pain in the lower leg during exercise. One treatment is physiotherapy that changes how you land when running; the other is surgery (fasciotomy). The goal is to see if physiotherapy works as well as surgery, which could reduce risks and costs. The study involves 72 adults aged 18-50 with symptoms in both legs for over 3 months.
