If you listen carefully, while reflecting on how your training got you shin splints, this video is an absolute gem on explaining how to prevent them 🙏🏽
I started jogging a five week ago because I don't have good health. I cannot do other exercises, I don't have the money. I work two day a week for two more months and in two week I have three weeks off because not enough work.The pain is in front of the tibia. I will try those excercise, I hope the pain will go away. I really want to have a better life style.
Hey! There are plenty of really great workouts available on youtube while you heal your shins. For example Move with Nicole - fantastic, short and easy strengthening pilates! And it doesn’t impact your “running muscles” in an intense way ❤
@@KiwiihSan thank you so much. I will try them. Pain is gone, but I didn't do any exercices since the start of july. I got too sick. Feeling better bit by bit. I'm looking forward to start again with the recommendations
I've been having troubles with shin splints for several weeks and feel so blessed to find this video. So much research-based info at one place, thank you!
I went hiking on vacation to a mountain in Peru and then I have shin and knee pain. I can´t workout at the gym as I normally used to. I dont have a lot of pain but it´s not comfortable. I am watching all of your videos to get better. Thank you so much
Glad I found your video! Not because it hepe me alot, but it confirmed all my theories that I'm having. I've been struggling with shin splints for 9 months since I started football again at the age of 38 (LOL) and what I found quite recently is that the solution is not massage, stretching etc, but to improve the range of stress I can put on my lower legs. Therefore, it just recently hit me, that I should perform plyometric training, because it is very similar to the motions of football. A lot of jumping, side forces on the lower legs etc. Been doing it for only 2-3 trainings so far, but the recovery time has been ALOT shorter already. My theory is also to do the excercises with low intensity at first, but increasing it along the path. Hopefully the curement is not only temporary, but persistent 🙂
I’m a beginner track runner and I got this for the first time like last week and it won’t go awayyy I wasn’t sure what else to do but the exercises helped reduce the pain a lot so highly recommended 👍👍
I'm a ex boxer and started training for a charity fight I have bad shin splints and doctors said I have mtss today. Literally stopping me from doing all the training I need to be doing grrr
I found using voltaren, then tiger balm helped a LOT, as well as a massage roller I didnt want to stop playing football so I just didnt, tiger balm carried the fuck outta the pain management 10/10 would recommend
For the last two weeks I’ve been having problems with my shins since I now go to uni and have to walk to my bus station, mind you it’s probably because I have to fast walk with very unforgiving flat shoes like converse or vans since I don’t usually give myself an extra minute or two to walk. But recently I started wearing alphabounces meant for running and I go at the same time, probably at the same speed and have almost no problems in my legs anymore. It also may have been because I was exercising everyday after being super inactive since I used to drive everywhere and stopped doing any exercise in general. Maybe it was an accumulation of working out more, then having four days of rest due to homework and getting proper sleep, which allowed my body to adapt to my new lifestyle of having to walk more
That was the best video on shin splits I’ve ever seen. I’ve been doing these exercises for 1 month, but when I spend too much time standing (like on a weekend cooking and cleaning all day), the pain returns, and it gets better with rest. When do you think I’ll be able to start the jumping exercises? When do I know I’m ready for this next step?
Do u have flat feet? Get proper inserts for your shoes. And I think plyometrix exercises are what makes your bones stronger to shin splints in the first place. Do them
Thank you so much for this video. I thought it wasn’t a shin split since it was in the middle of my lower leg. Now that I’ve figured it out i gotta start doing these strengthening training.
Bro i also play football and started feeling pain in my left shin few days back I think it happened because I played too much after a long time from 2 3 days i am doing rest what should I do to recover! Help me M8
Me too for 4 years now but non of these exercises seem to work. Also been to many physiotherapist but also without any succes. Such a frustration as a runner🫠
@@suppliers9855 for me it has been going slightly better. Been doing these excersizes and a lot more. I try to do 1 workout/run a week where the pain is slightly noticable, and the rest the pain needs to be minimal. Also a healthier high protein, low sugger diet with creatine, also probably plays a role
My injury took a month, I took enough rest and went to physical therapy. How long do I need a rehabilitation period to return to running? Do hot compresses and massage help me come back faster? please help me🙁
Joined a new boxing gym and it's pre-season, I sparred some of the best guys in there and was promised a place in the squad. Told them I can't continue running with the squad during pre season (3x per week for another 3 weeks) and was told if I don't join in I won't get a place in the squad. If I join in I'll get injured and won't be able to do the very basics of boxing, if I don't join in I don't get a place in the squad - it's a lose lose and either way I can't box simply because I cannot run without getting injured. So annoying.
I have been getting wrecked by posterior tibialis tendonitis / shin splints for almost a year now, I'm going to give this routine a try. For how long do you recommend doing this routine for before some results might be seen?
I've also been dealing with posterior shin splints for about a year, including two full months off from my impact sport. What were your results with this program? I'm worried I'm never going to properly fix this and eventually it's going to take me out forever.
I had a question in regards to the progression of exercises. Should I start with resistance exercises? If so, when should I progress to adding plyometric exercises? And when should I start a graded running program? Otherwise, great video! Very informative!
been running all my life i di dayly easy 8km runs, bought a new shoes, adidas duramos speed, went for that runagain on my way back at 6 km I got plantar fasciitis runnker knee and shin spints on both legs at once, did nothing d=ifference
Also make sure yall are getting in your electrolytes! You know peeing and sweating you loose them. I was low on potassium. Thought I was getting enough in and maybe it would have been true but I sweat a lot at work during summer and didn’t take that into account. Ptoba wouldn’t have got one in the first place for me
Hello sir I am a high school track runner I have been shins splint for 5 months and I still have it, I did a physical therapy I still have it I really really!! Hope your exercises helps me. Nevertheless when I perform plyometric exercises it hurts so bad it's like I am running I hope you will take one minute from your precious time to answer me thank you
Thanks for a great video! Question: can (and should) I do the jumping excersises when I have shin splint pain or should they be done in a pain-free period as prehab?
Great video, very professional compared to others. However, in my case of having lower leg pain, which I don't even belief is shin splints anymore, i have it for over 10 Years now and seeing multiple specialists-physios, osteopaths, orthopaedist I still didn't find the cure. It seems the problem became not with the edge of the bone, but the tendons and just the fascia laying down in multiple direction (posterior, anterior, lateral) tendons. The closest therapy of relief I found a guy with unorthodox style which he did visceral therapy of my gut basically and it goes away for like Two weeks or more ( just half an inch on the bone pain was left, but all other symptoms gone, better sleep and Training pain free). What would you recommend and do you have any theory why any rehab & rest don't work for me and what type of injury/disease is this?
A "cure" may not exist. Pathoanatomical diagnoses and imaging findings aren't always necessary for rehabilitation. For example, imaging is not required for MTSS except to rule out other conditions like a suspected stress fracture. Also, as I mentioned in the video, shin splints aren't well understood and there's no definitive research on how to treat them. However, I created this framework based on the population who most often gets shin splints - runners. My recommendation would be to work with a physio who can help you identify your goals and reverse engineer a plan to meet those goals. In most cases, it's unlikely that there will be a "flip of the switch" regarding symptoms and function. Social media has led us to believe that there's a quick fix for everything, but that's rarely the case. I hope this does not come as negative as it's meant to be sincere. Best of luck, Adam.
Hey can you guys please direct or make a video about Duck Feet. I've been embarrassed for years and I'm not expecting knee pain now but I'm trying to protect my future
While dealing with shin splints, I was told to get compression sleeves. I'm wondering , is there any science or evidence showing the benefits of compression sleeves for shin splints, and when during the recovery process, should they be used, if at all?
thanks a lot for a video. How to treat this sh***t before starting the rehab..? one month I'm trying to fix it...after 2 weeks of non-running I start running slowly and...I got back to day 1. please help. I have Ironman event in 6 weeks
Hello, yes I run around 20 to 25 mi. Per week. I'm 60 yrs old but fit. I first noticed when I showered as I would wash the area of medial tibial. It's been 3 months since I stopped running however I do stationary bike and squats ect.... I'm frustrated I even got custom made orthotics. I only feel it when I rub or palpatate hand in that area. I don't feel anything when I run or anything. I didn't want to risk getting a stress fracture. Not sure what to do. If you have any thoughts. Thanks!!
the one legged lateral jump looks like a knee injury waiting to happen to be honest. and if you're landing flat footed you're probably doing more damage to your knee than good. you would have to land on your toes to absorb the shock with your ankle.
I have right leg interior and posterior shins pain . if i do elevated split squat for my left leg my right leg shins start hurting me is that ok ?or i should do only the injured leg?
My pain is the outer side of the shin. Does anyone know what that is? It sounds like other physical therapists say there’s two different types of Shin splints the inner or the outer but this video says it’s not shin splints if it’s on the outer side of the shin

the one legged lateral jump looks like a knee injury waiting to happen to be honest. and if you're landing flat footed you're probably doing more damage to your knee than good. you would have to land on your toes to absorb the shock with your ankle.
