“Excuse the expression” that just made my week
That worked so well, literally overnight. Pain gone and able to cross-train. Thank!
John thank you very much for your educative videos, I currently have an identical periostitis in this video as well as inflammation of the tendon Achilles and I run a half marathon this September 4, you are to me very precious!
Thanks for the great comments and hope the half marathon went well....
Thank you, this is a great video
Thanks for the comment, regards JG
Hi again John. You mentioned the Tibialis Posterior and other muscles as possible contributing factors to this condition. What of the Tibialis anterior and/or soleus? My understanding is that these two contribute to shin splints/medial tibial stress syndrome? Thanks again.
Started running again a few weeks ago and my legs been killing me. Gonna try this out.
Worth trying and seek some advice as well as there are many reasons why you might be getting shin pain and the tape will only reduce some of your symptoms, regards JG
Informative video. Also very relaxing to hear the lecture from John Gibbons.
blinkatreyu Thanks for the comments
I have spent months investigating treating shin splints naturally and found a fantastic resource at Remedy fixer blueprint (check it out on google)
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover lateral shin pain try Mackorny Run Fast Blueprint ( search on google )?
It is an awesome one of a kind guide for getting rid of shin splints without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
Thankyou so much. Just taped my shin up instant relief. I'm a step instructor so will try this during my classes too. I'm assuming it's no coincidence that this pain is on the same leg where the arch of the foot use to be painful (been fine for months) and weaker glute medius?
🙃 Pain is frustrating but still fascinating!
Awesome video and great explanation. I will show this to my son who is getting shin pain while running
Glad it was helpful! Regards jG
What a relief! thank you so much!

Yes, you can apply the tape to yourself, regards JG

@@JohnGibbons how do you address the cause of the problem? Are there strengthening exercises I can Do?
Is that solution for good?
I’ve been diagnosed with shin splints but since it’s summer I’ve luckily been able to rest for about a month. Is the tape still useful or should I just try to slowly get back into exercising?
U can’t get diognose with shin splints lol
hi there, is this something you would as short term solution or mid-term?
Both as a lot of athletes suffer with this condition on a regular basis - some even use it to try to reduce some of the symptoms whilst training, regards jG

Just tried this and it immediately feels firm against the direction of pain. Does the second tape need to be cut into Y? Kept as a thick J shape should still work?
2nd tape can be a simple strip rather than a Y, regards JG
Is this what I should do if I have the stress syndrome? Its a small area on the bone that hurts when I press and when I'm running and jumping
The tape will only reduce some symptoms - regards JG

Dear sir
I'm runner and I run every day 5 or 10 km but the pain of my leg is too heavy and it's shin splint ( calf down bone) Right one leg . So did it work tape ?
The ktape will only reduce the symptoms so wont physically fix anything, regards JG
Like John
What is the name of the tape used in the video? Where is best to purchase it from reasonably cheaply? I have just been diagnosed with this type of shin splints today
I use a KTape through a company called Rocktape and you can buy from their website rocktape.net as it is the best one on the market but it is not the cheapest but at least you know it will be effective as the cheap tapes do not stay on for long. Good luck, JG

Hi Anil, it is best to see a physical therapist where you live as it is hard to comment without looking at you. I have a private practice in Oxford (uk) that you are welcome to visit. Regards JG
Anil bhai uk gye kya.. Shin splints theek hua..? 🤔
I have medial tybial stress syndrome from playing football(soccer). I did a month of running and sprinting before training again but that was on grass. My first training was on turf, but I only felt it the day after. I think the change of surface might have caused this, because I was already accustomed to my soccercleats. Apart from strengthening exercises for my calf and a great warm up before practice, Is there anything I could do.
Try the taping as will help, regards JG
It's very common to get injuries like this, I still have 1 more year to become a physio, but my professor who specialises in sports injuries said the easiest way for football player to get an injury is train hard during the week and on the weekend play indoor football. Its most likely for you also the case, that the change in training variables doing too much or too soon and your body needs time to adapt, so keep that in mind, still train but be a bit more careful of the volume especially if you change training surfaces.
I have shin splints as well but also a big reason why its worse now is the colder weather, since its more difficult for blood circulation so thats also why warm ups are really important, also some stretching would probably help for the entire lower extremity and if you've less time then stretching the tibialis anterior specifically should help a bit as well.
Hope this helps !
I’ve been training with k-tape and a heel cushion in my footballcleats, and only have stiffness after training. Now the day after it is better then a couple of weeks before. I’m not sure which of the 2 helps the most. Apart from that still training al parts of the calf.
The remark on the cold weather makes sense, maybe I should look into compression sleeves?
Also thinking about personalised insoles.
If I can play till april/may without major problems I’ll keep playing football (injuries really are demoralizing :/ )
@@hozze8597 Getting insoles from a podiatrist could help a lot especially if they can look at the biomechanics of the lower extremity and suggest specialised insoles, if you need too could be useful.
Haven't read much about about compression sleeves for shin splints, probably wont hurt, I saw during the world cup all football players had them so maybe helps a bit.
Injuries suck, but the stiffness is probably just muscle fatigue and DOMS. If you see that your body doesn't feel very good and you're playing worse for around 2 weeks (if theres nothing else affecting you like sleep, diet etc...) probably need some rest and build up again.
Also we (me included) can forgot that sports is about exercising and having fun and not everything needs to be perfect, paralysis by analysis... its easy to focus on all the wrong things and forget everything positive. Unless of course you depend on the sport then it's a different story.
@@kris3733 how to stretch the tibialis anterior?
what if it is already a stress fracture on the tibia?
The tape will help reduce some of the painful symptoms only, regards JG
I'm having severe on shin area. I m not athlete but why my shin pains? when I touch my shin.
My shin area have tight muscle is it's the reason? Plzz reply sir
Sounds like a type of shin splints so try the taping as helps, also look at your footwear as generally a lot of shin pain is caused by incorrect footwear, regards JG
I'm in my senior year of football can't miss it been waiting 4 years for this and now I have real bad shin splints possibly stress fracture , I can play through the pain , I've tried tape but it does nothing. Will it do any damage , could I possibly break my tibia by doing so, by the way it is in both legs on the interior
I doubt the tape will cause any issues and sounds like there is a possibility of developing stress fractures due to the activity, then again lots of athletes have it and carry on exercising as that is what they love doing. Your choice and good luck, regards JG
Hello did you recover from this? Im in the exaxt same position
Glen Lane never fully got arid of the shin splints, I found the best thing to do was to roll them out every day and use ice packs. If that helps
I have medial tibial stress syndrome since 10 years.Some treatment modes and surgery to , doesnt fix this.
I stopped competition sports for it.
That normally works but hard for the athlete to understand that as they want to continue playing - regards JG
Hi, i am not sure you gonna answer me to or not. I have very serious shin pain. I cannot even walk in incline or decline positions for more than 5 minutes. I don’t run, just walk and shin pain starts killing me. I’m very disturbed with my pain.
Sorry to hear that and its rare to have shin pain on its own - most of shin pain is caused by footwear or the terrain too are walking on so look at changing footwear first and see if that helps, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Thank you for the reply, I have almost all types of shoes except runner shoes. I feel the same pain with all of them. The reason I don't have runner shoes is that I do not run, my daily routine has a small walk or sometimes long distance walk. I also do not have a flat foot. I can barely walk for 2 minutes in incline pathways. Since I live in a hilly town, I have to walk on an incline and decline more often.
Where can I get this tape
Rocktape.com regards JG
Hi John, thanks for the video. How long am I supposed to leave the tape on?
Nvm, saw the answer in another comment 3-5 Days
My pain is located right on the front shin bone. How do I do this then ?
I have a video for taping anterior shin pain, so teach my site, regards jG
Thank you so much!
Bros been flipping me off this whole vid 😭
what tape do you use
Rocktape, regards JG
How long should I have the tape on for?
Between 3-5 days

Okay thanks
Same I have had shin splits for a long time... I know this was written two years ago but since then have you recovered? If so how?
@@meggiemorris what about you lol how is it so far
8D Tracks i’ve gotten a lot better actually i used compression socks that really helped! Also with this whole quarantine thing I haven’t been on the track everyday so there’s been no pain but when i was using compression socks was the way to go!
What do I do if I have leg hair?
Use a trimmer rather than shaving the leg, regards JG
Where can I buy the strips??
From a company called Rocktape, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thanks!
I think I have a shin splint but idk how can I tell.
It hurts
Why they are different in colour..??..different function provide?
Hi, the colours make no difference, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons ohh..today i bought one..hope to prevent shin pain ..it really hurts..and annoying around friends while running
What if the pain is in the front of the Shin??
I have a technique for the anterior shin, regards JG
Sir I am running for police recruitment my leg very badly pain and I have pain increases to bipolar bone so I am very demotivate of this condition pls sir suggest me
Police physical entrance tests is easy so you shouldn't have to much of an issue if you are fit, regards jG
Just paid 17 quid for some tape! Hope this works 😂
Did it work bro lol I got a game today, I got shin splints in the muscle front it gets crazy swollen and on the side it hurts allot like the video
Thats expensive, try the rocktape as a lot cheaper and the best you can buy, regards JG
Worth trying and remember the pain is typically activity related, the tape will help reduce some of your symptoms, regards jG
@@JohnGibbons it actually helped! I put it on like the video and whenever I felt it building up I slowed down and stopped and continued but this helped me soo much !! Thank you! I played my best again 😭
@@JohnGibbons it seemed to reduce the pain whilst running but the day after the leg was still tender, maybe its my footwear?
Hi sir I don't know if I have a tibial stress fracture, I can bear heavy weight on it or run long distances, play soccer but it's tender when I touch it. Pls I'll appreciate it you could offer some advice.
It doesn't sound like a stress fracture if you can play football and run and it could simply be a standard type of shin splints through a lot of exercise, try and see someone like me if you can. Good luck regards JG
John Gibbons thanks for the advice sir.
exactly what i’m dealing with
DUDLEY JACOB did you manage to recover , if so how ?
I have hairs in my legs the sticky tape hurts
I know how you feel, regards JG
wish i was good at Latin
Don't we all as pretty hard, regards JG

Sir i have that issue. Now. I have only 9 days only for my running competion. My leg side leg shin place had little bit swelling and pain. What i do now?.. pls answer it sir... i dont have time. And i dont take rest.. 9 days only is my life.😭
If you are competing then you will have a therapist that looks after you so i would ask them as not much i can recommend via a text, regards JG
yo dude how was the competition
Is there actually any scientific evidence that this tape even works? 🤔
Not much research in reality to prove how it works, the results are through the athlete / patient wearing it and giving feedback, regards JG
I am indian, please injection
No idea what you mean...injection for what? regards JG
