Repetition: Treadmills require individuals to repeat the same footfall repetitively. As opposed to running in nature, the treadmill offers no variability. This leads to overuse which can lead to pain along the entire kinetic chain.

See below: The treadmill may be a soft surface cause your ankles to roll. Try using an ankle brace.
