5 years as an infantryman in the Marines took its toll, and I havent been able to run since getting out in 2015. I thought I'd never be able to run a mile, again, and something as stupid as this has basically fixed it... I got a little emotional, not going to lie. The world needs to see this, because the VA suggested surgery and pain management.
Soumith Reddy Vodnala do both. I recommend buying a scrapper tool called SideKick Echo. I just bought it 2 weeks ago and it’s helped my shin pain from running so much!!!
dude dude dude, it worked !!!!!!!! I've been suffering from shin splints pain for 1.5 year and i searched everywhere literally, everywhere, and didn't find anything that makes the pain less, moreover healing it, until I've seen your video and it healed it completely, thank u soooooo much sooooooooooooooooooo much
@@TristanTriedIt in an earlier comment with a guy who did track, he said to do the scraping and wrap up your leg with something. I've stopped running for two months of this and I just started doing it yesterday. I feel like the pain is going away and hopefully I'll be able to run soon. The only problem is the bruising I got cause of it, and the pain when you touch them is a lot.
I serve in the US Military. I am in the army and we run at minimum 3 times a week on hardball type surfaces. I got shin splints in March of 2018 and i had tried literally everything. the month long breaks, massage therapy, physical therapy and they just kept bombarding me super strict physical limitation profiles that would prevent me from doing anything and tons of Ibuprofen but every time I started back running again.... Boom they were back i almost gave up. This literally saved my career. thank you so much for the video. I went on amazon and bought the same materials you posted about on your second video. life changing.
Your explanation for the how and why is the best I've heard. I have noticed when I look down at my feet when I'm running they seem to be curved inwards like you described... It never clicked until now.
There are many components to reducing shin splints naturally . One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Remedy Fixer Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the most useful blueprint i've heard of. look at all the incredible information .
Thank you..Thank you..Thank you! Over a year I've battled with this problem, I tried this for 2 days and just did my first pain free run in months! Thanks!
Man I cannot thank you enough for this.I had shin splints for the past 4 months and I tried literally so many things but nothing helped.This thing saved me. It hasn't passed even 1 week and I can already train with no pain at all.Thank you !!!
I never comment on UA-cam videos. Just had to come back to this one. I had shin splints for MONTHS, and no amount of rest would make them go away. As soon as I would start running again the pain would return. I was skeptical at first, I don't believe that there's actual "scar tissue" being broken down with this scraping exercise, but boy oh boy does it work wonders! I scraped my shins for about 30 minutes, every other day, for 1 week. Pain is nearly all gone, and I can run again! Thank you so much for this video, nothing else worked for me
I’m so glad it worked! Btw that technique of scraping tendons works on other types of tendinitis too. It’s helped me so many times over the years for different injuries
It's due to the scar tissue having a compounding effect on the pain you experience. The scarring is there as part of the healing process, but it's harder than the good muscle and tendon tissue, so it's more brittle, and when you put your shins under fresh load, all that scarring tends to rupture and break apart, causing more pain and more inflammation, and more scarring! Thus the cycle repeats. I can only imagine the scraping will force the circulation of smaller portions of scarring away from the injury site.
I really appreciate this guy . I had been suffering from shin splits for 2 years , it would even hurt when I walked . Now, i can finally run and skate . Many thanks for this video!!
Suffered unbearable splints for most of my life. Yelling at the top of my lungs pain. When they got bad I could barely wear pants. A slight touch during inflammation would feel like a hammer. I looked into surgery. This is the only thing that helped. Thank you! A debt of gratitude.
@@hectorgarcia3000 yo bro I can confirm it works!!! My shins hurt like crazy and I couldn’t even walk after track so I decided to take a break but they ended up coming right back and after trying this I was healed!!!! I kept running too and did this and after about 4 days they started to feel way better.
I passed police tests with severe shin splints , came home I could not even walk. I started to scrap my legs and after two days the pain IS completely gone. I am doing this every day, and not going to stop. Looking forward to get back to running again.
Can you please help me😢😢I have events on 08/Oct but my right leg hurts me more with shin splits... doctor said it is stress fracture....I don't know what to do 😢... what should I use for scrapping....
Dude, you are a true hero! This is the only real solution I found after suffering from shin splints for about 2 years. I did 1 up to 6 months' breaks from running, but they were always coming back on the first or second training. I have also spent a ton of money on promising "heal-shin-splints" items, with no results at all. You deserve much more views! Liked, subscribed and everything. I am going to copy this message to your other shin-splints' video as well. Truly thank you!
Thank you for this tip! I’ve had shin splints for a whole year and this is the first time I’ve been pain free! Just scraped both legs and feel better already, no doubt try this out and you’ll feel like a new person
Been suffering from shin splints for the past 2 months.I am a badminton player. I always took 2 weeks off had 1 week of painless badminton training and the pain is back again. I scraped my legs this morning and felt immediate relief. I'll keep doing this and my usual stretches and hope for the best. Update week 1: I scraped for 20 minutes each day 10 min for each leg . In the past 2 days I do this routine 2 times a day while doing daily tibial and calf raises and I stretch out my whole lower half multiple times a day. The pain is gone from my left leg but its still in my right leg however I can feel the pain being a lot lighter. I'll continue on this routine and give an update each week! Update 1.5: I went to practice today and my leg only hurt due to the bruises caused by scraping itself. Update 2: its been weeks pain is completely gone i can run, jump, sprint whatever I want
.... I am *SO* glad I came upon this video. I’ve been suffering from shin splints ever since I started running and I just cannot seem to get rid of them no matter what I do. This has helped tremendously!! Thank you 🙏🏻
missed out on a full season of playing due to painful shin splint, met over 10 clueless doctors at top hospitals and nothing worked, and then i stumbled on this video and tried it, pure miracle ,worked 100% and the pain is gone, thanks alot, the key is to really press and break down those little lumps thats causing the pain and once those tiny lumps dissolves u can actually see it melt and flow down ur legs,that right there is the devilish pain flowing away and immediately u will get instant relief.
I want to start by thanking you for making this video. I am in the process of entering the police academy and was very close to quit due to an unresistible pain I'm the exact same area and thanks to your video I was able to buy the tool to give myself the massage and now I AM PAIN FREE. I am very thankful may God bless you and yours.
Hey David I’m leaving to marine boot camp and I’ve had shin splints for 5 years non stop, I’ll run for a day and next I’m fucked and I’m going to boot camp May 6 wish me luck I read you comments and will do this an hour a day maybe two each leg and hopefully will have the result you and many others have had thanks for posting this short informative is the best videos thank you again have an amazing life!!
This scraping exercise is great - but you must allow the microscopic muscle tears (shin splints) to heal to the point you have minimal and intermittent pain or the scraping is just going to aggravate the tears. While it might feel like it is helping, it is only because you are increasing blood flow to the area. To allow shin splints to heal, you must back off whatever activity you are doing that is causing your shins to hurt. If your shin splints are mild, they will hurt only during or after running; if your shin splints are moderate they will hurt during and after walking; if your shin splints are severe they will hurt pretty much all the time - even when you resting. If you're shin splints are severe (that is, they hurt even while you're resting), you need to use crutches and not-weight-bear for at least 2 weeks. The duration of crutches and non-weight bearing is dependent upon how severe your shin splints are. REMEMBER: If your shins are hurting, then they are NOT healing. Sharon, Physical Therapist
Thank you. I have a couple questions though, do ankle band exercises help or hurt when shins r painful? Are there any preventative exercises to do? Could posterior shin splints be prevented with running shoes with more support? Thx!
My god this actually worked for me!! I have had bad shin pain since January. What helped me was strengthening the soleus and gastrocnemius, plenty of ice baths/icing the shins and slow runs. I took 10 days off running to scrap 20-30 mins a day and now I do it before my runs. Honestly an absolute game changer!!! Highly recommend this
It isn't just a matter of scraping. I had a PT scrape my calves 15 years ago in high school and it helped but didn't go away. You need to strengthen the affected, weak side with hip hikes, calf raises, and raise the toes/front of foot to strengthen the anterior shin muscles as well. Also strengthen hip abductors, especially on the affected side. Stretching of course as well and you can do myofascial work with a lacrosse ball.
Trying out this technique and the stretches 👍 I thought I tried everything and have watched so many videos on shin splints, but this absolutely makes sense.
Thank you for making this video. I play volleyball and shin splints are what kept me from improving and playing for more than an hour, even with breaks. I've had the pain for a little over a year and a half. Now I can play matches for hours straight with 0 pain and my jump has increased as well with no issues. Once again, thank you! I'll definitely show this to anyone I know that has had the same problem.
Devansh Bhardwaj I only did it when I felt pain or tenderness along my shins so more of a one time thing than a continuous one. I also use a massage roller stick on my calves (targeting the soleus) after I run to be safe.
Thanks for your video,I have been suffering for a while with posterior shin splints and scraping my legs does work!I started to do it before I go for a run too and it feels like it works!

I can't believe it, this is the only thing that worked after taking several weeks off and stretching every day. I would add that using your gua sha tool to do a self massage on the unflexed calf greatly helped in alleviating tightness and tension. Thanks so much for this insight and help!!
17 years old and been experiencing absolutely awful shin splints to the point where I thought I had a stress fracture. Took off 2 weeks with constant PT and icing just to come back and have the pain return in a couple days. Hopefully this man is right because these shin splints are really taking a toll on me. I’ll edit if I feel any relief during my meet tmrw and in the future
Same. Been doing this for 3 weeks now with a few days rest in between each time because of soreness on my posterior shin muscle. Other than that, it seems to be working slightly, maybe. Will update again later
this shit is no joke, I struggled with shin splints for 3 months and literally did this ONCE (20 minutes) and my pain shifted from deep within to more of a superficial pain. Immediately sprinted on it, didnt feel any pain. Scraped a couple more times and pain completely gone. THANK YOU MAN
this may be helpful for healing some surface scar tissue, but the root cause is a weak soleus muscle ! Bent knee calf raises, really hammer those calves, remember soleus is a small deeper muscle that you can really see, so skinny people like marathon runners could have strong soleus but not big calves, hope this helps someone !
I did over 6 months of soleus specific training.. i increased strength in a variety of exercises by over 50% and significantly increased my work capacity.. bent knee calf raises for example I started with 12 reps at 50kg. After 6 months i did 20 reps at 90kg. I rested from running the whole time and started a graded return to running beginning with just running on the spot (I've had shin splints for 10 years and it's been one failed attempted after another with trying to get back into running).. this time was no different. The strength i gained made no difference whatsoever. A lot of clinical physiotherapy literature supports this.. that strengthening doesnt make any difference. Nor does stretching or electro shockwave therapy, ultrasound etc. Ive never tried this massage technique but seems like i have nothing to lose. Ive all but given up hope
Hello from Australia. I haven't been suffering from posterior shin splints for very long - only a couple months and no $$$ to see a Physio as they're pretty pricey nowadays. I came across this video as I typed into youtube "how to fix shin splints" and your miracle video popped up. I thought to myself id give this a go for a week and see where I end up. nothing else has worked obviously. the pain while scraping was excruciating but the reward was enormous. NO PAIN NOW WHEN RUNNING!! I can run again. Thank you, David. keep the videos coming!!!
I'm a few months away from 30. I have had concurrent issues with shin splints and leg pain for 15 or so years. I just pushed through everything all the time. That's how my Dad raised me: if something's wrong, I'm just being a bitch and need to do better. This legitimately might be the best 5 minutes of video I have ever seen. God bless this man.
The least i can do is say thank you!!! I'm a 100 & 200 meter runner and due to bad form i got the shin splints, i couldnt almost found info about posterior shin splints, and i discovered this video by mistake since it does not appear at the top when you search for posterior shin splints, 4 days of doing this for 25-30 mins solved the problem, any time i feel they are coming back i massage for 3-4 days and they are gone, thank you sooooooo much buddy :)
I'm in really similar spot, I'm a 100m and 200m sprinter and developed these as I began my training cycle, probably due to not working out enough and going into too much. great to see this worked for you! do you still do this and is it still working?
@@emansol9588 they did lower the pain to the point that i can run and almost do everything but they are still there, but seem to be going away slowly. I did this for like 4 days and stopped tho i'm starting to do it again on weekends, i do 30 mins each leg but one thing that help a lot is ICE, 3 times a day (about ever 4 hours) i ice my shins for 15 mins
Glad it's working for you! Since they aren't fully healed yet I'd recommend doing this. Scrape for 15mins a day every day in the evening, ice in the morning, and do daily PNF stretching for your calves and hamstrings with 2-5mins holds (I just made a video about this type of stretching). And completely stop running until the pain is gone for at least a week. Then SLOWLY transition back into running on soft grass (low impact) every 3 days or so. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of running provided the pain isn't coming back. If you feel it start to flare up again back off on the running. Keep me updated if you can!
@@davidduncan1226 currently i can jog and everything, the only time that they cause me pain is when i run on track with spikes and even it's not thar much, the problems seems that i smack the floor really hard with my feet when running but i've started to correct that :)
I had PSS after a 10km race which was mild at the beginning and eventually it got more worse and I couldn't walk down the stairs without pain. I found out this video that day and started doing it. I felt amazing the next day. No pain unless I put pressure on that spot. I am doing it every night for the past 3 days and it's getting better. Thank you for this video!👍
Wow! I have EXACTLY the SAME problem on my lower inside shin. I’ve tried get into running several times trough out my life always hitting the same wall. I will start doing this today and report back my results! THANK YOU!
David Duncan Dave I also suffer from shin splints and mine are largely caused by my elongated periods of skipping rope on concrete(I do it from home and have recently bought a rubber mat to mitigate the effect of the hard surface),with me however the pain is on the front of my shins,do I still need to apply this very method on the front of my shins and also,could you please advise as to what it is that you’re using to scrape down your leg...Your assistance will be greatly appreciated bro.🙏🏿
David Duncan wowwww bro 😳😳😳😳 it worked, I promise you,after the message I sent you,I took a box on which my brand new skipping rope is affixed on,it’s a pretty hard box,and started scraping down my right leg first and Boooom within 2 minutes the pain had virtually disappeared😳😳😳😳 I swear I thought I’m perhaps dreaming,I prodded my left leg to ensure that I am feeling the pain,even asked my nephew to press as hard as he can so I’m certain that I’m feeling the pain,thereafter scraped for like 5 minutes, bro I shit you not,it’s like I’ve just had brand new legs affixed onto my body,THANK YOU so much for this,there’s still pain(but I think it’s more of a discomfort than pain and only when I push too hard do I feel it) but it is nowhere near the what I was experiencing almost 30 minutes ago...THANK YOU Brother,I’m now gonna do this daily
Thank you so much for making this video. After trying everything after over a year of shin splints, this worked amazingly. I went to an ortho doc a few days ago and told him what I was doing. His only suggestion (mind you, he never offered this as a solution) was to do it every 2 days so it "heals" and then continue on. Thanks again :)
Here is a question: is it normal for your ankle to hurt as well? It hurts to wear hard shoes (like Docs or tall boots), rest my ankle on the bath tub, and when I walk. Is that a part of shin splints and do you happen to know a way to deal with that? Thank you!
I wouldn't say it was normal with shin splints but sometimes the pain does go down to the inner front side of your ankle. I would scrape that also and do some light stretching on wherever the pain is.
Scrape and stretch everyday and wrap your shins with something like an Ace bandage before you run. It should help, but running with shin splints sucks. Good luck man.
i hate this injury. it prevents me from jumping high and having the courage to land a high place. and it's the only thing in my body that is in total shit when i play
I’ve been battling shin splints for a year now I’ve tried everything I am praying this works I’ll get back to u after a week hope this goes well thanks for the help.
Sidhu Rocks well.... it worked for a little while but out of no where it was just excruciating pain and I was out for a week. So I stopped doing it and I was better. I’ve just learned to wear compression socks/sleeves and ice a lot. Also before u run try and activate your shins like walking on your heels, toe taps, and calf raises.
im a 20 year old, relativly activ, and have all my "cardio" goals ruined because of this problem. i have been doing many different things to fix my shin splints, and now gonna try this. i even took a full Pause from all cardio activity and that didn't even help. i am gonna update this comment in a about a week time. saturday the 1.november 2024 I am going to update with a comment on this comment, haha. (sorry for bad English, this is my 3 spoken language)
Update, i had a stress fracture and i am currently taking a break from all training that pressure my legs. Guys i really do recommend you taking MR picture early on this and not waiting, because it can tell you if its stress fracture or not and eventually what kinda fracture if it is
I recently started suffering form posterior shin splints due to increased training volume. I did a lot of research, and this excercise is worth a try. I'll start with it tonight, and I'll get back to you on Sunday after I performed a trail run (10 K) to review if it paid off.
In the meantime my problems are gone, but I don't believe your tip is a magical solution and the pain was definitely not gone in 1 week. I stopped running for 3 weeks, did core stability exercices every week, used a foam-roller regulary. Eventually I started running again, small laps. 4k, 7k, 10k,... Working towards my goals without risking injuries. I believe that the treatment you describe helps to take away some 'muscle knots', but I think a more versatile approach to address all problems is still necessary... This includes visiting a therapist if you're not sure you're doing it the right way. But I'm pretty sure your tip did contribute to resolve my issue, so thanks for that ;).
It worked! I saw this video 3 weeks ago. I started doing it. It felt like I was making more damage, since the area started to feel painful. Week after week it got less painful, and after 3 weeks I don't feel nothing at all. Before this treatment I was advised to rest, I did it for a month, and just after getting back the shin splints would get back. 1 more month of rest. And the same result. Now I'm finally running without pain, and I'm excited to get back in my previous running shape. Thanks! This is a life advice for me :)
@@gallardo7813 Does it hurt? If it does, for me the answer is no, since you are not healed and if you run you will make the healing slower. If it almost don't hurt, I believe you can start running once a week, slow paced and in the grass if possible. Don't rush into getting back. You can feel painless and still have something going on in your leg.
Trev here from Search for Everything. Been experiencing issues with the Shin Splints for about 6 months now and last week just got really bad so gonna try this and see you in a week to tell you results...😊
Been suffering from posterior shin splints for 3 years. Starting this today and I'll update in 2 weeks if anyone new to the video wants to know if it works
@THUNDERGAMING-tq7tw Ish. I still got them pretty badly on my right leg, but to be fair I haven't taken time off or slowly eased into it because of soccer. I would for sure recommend it tho because it helps ease the tension a TON even if it hurts while you do it. Perfect fix, no. Helps, yes.
Thought this wouldn’t work because of the amount of other methods I tried....But after the first session of “scraping” I already felt the relief. This method honestly helped SO MUCH!!!
This really does help,you won't feel the pain if you do it for a few days,but you could get them again if you don't strengthen your other leg muscles,I would recommend working on your calves, upper leg,and hip abductor muscles. So that these muscles take the strain of off your lower legs.
If you’re suffering through shin splints check out the knees over toes guy. He has a video call his ankle sprain protocol. After so many years of suffering he finally found a solution. All it took was 5 pound dumbbells, a couple Rogue wraps & tibialis raises.
What are we supposed to scrape wite exactly? I think you should put the exact what and how in the description of this video! Seems important enough to do! Thanks for hopefully a great tip and solution to this issue.
So once again I got posterior shin splints. After 3 days of pain, I turned again to this video. I did the same technique I did last time - so about 5 mins max in the evening, following morning and evening again, and 2 days later I'm pain free again. I'm a complete skeptic, and prefer to follow science based stuff, but this worked for me. Oh and I got a bruise at the point where most of the pain was like some other people get.
Obviously this video is older, but another option is just using oil and massaging your thumb along the track on the inner shin bone down to where the pain is. Start top to bottom and just repeat for a few minutes twice a day. Back off if it hurts or go softer. Self massage helped me a ton.
I have been doing this scraping tenique. It worked!! It took a few weeks though. I still do it. The first few times it produce bruising. But not anymore. So thank you very much!
This is pretty much Graston technique and it definitely works. I've used it multiple times to help with nagging shin issues. Works great for any muscle issues really as it really gets any of the scar tissue build up out. Hurts like hell the first few times though.
It works like a miracle even though I do it once or twice a day with less than 5 mins each. I use counterpain cool as lube. Scrape it until the gel dries out. Do it 2 times. I'm lucky to have found this video. You've saved me man.
I started yesterday, after 6 weeks of pain and active recover, and I'm really excited about it. I real feel the difference, there is so much less pressure in the shin. I'm really looking forward too the end of the 7 days en hoop to run pain free. Thx for the tip an I'll let you know if I'm free of pain after 7 days!!
if you are trying to find out can you permanently get rid of shin_splints try Fezervin_Splint _Remedy_Coach (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
It really is a miracle remedy.. I was suffering from shin splints for more than two years and no treatment was giving me any relief. After following both your videos on shin splints, I followed all the steps and did it for a week with bit of stretching post the massage. I resumed cricket from today and NO PAIN!! :) Thankyou.. :)
@SAHl no shin splints at all right now. But that's been the case before so let's see how far it goes. I also have very tight hips that I'm working on so it's likely that they will return. The shin splints are just a symptom of what's going on in my hips and upper legs. My quads and hamstrings are also very tight. I'm a computer worker so I sit long hours
I've been struggling with shin splints for months . I ship out to boot camp in 3 weeks and I'm so scared I wont be able to run over there . Gunna do this for a week and go back out and try running again . I'll be back with updates . Thanks ! Edit : I have never been so happy that my pain is gone . I was able to run a mile today without it hurting my shins at all!!!!!!!
@@chaoticchaos3978 It gives you a few bruises so instead I got a foam roller and I stretch every day and roll it out for at least 20 minutes a day and icing every day got at least 20 minutes as well . I'm gunna run tomorrow and see how it goes I'll let you kn9w
@@chaoticchaos3978 just came back from my first run. Huge improvement. I ran on grass for 5 - 10 minutes . by then I usually start aching bad. No pain on my inner shin which is my main problem. went easy so i stopped after 2 laps .
I've had shin splints for 5 months now. Had to stop running, couldn't even go on walks anymore. I tried everything, I'm 3 weeks in now having done the scraping with a gua sha and I haven't had any pain since...I'm going to try running again soon! It's interesting that neither of the physiotherapists I went to mentioned this technique. I'm assuming it's because there's no studies or "proof" on it yet. I hope they do some soon because it really works.
For any new viewers of this video wondering if it works or not, I will be doing this for an extended amount of time to test this. My story is that I have been having posterior shin splints for at least 6-7 years and I've tried resting (for months even), massaging, stretching and what not. I will return with an update
hey ,if anyone else is searching for cure for shin splints fast try Fezervin Splint Remedy Coach (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.
5 years as an infantryman in the Marines took its toll, and I havent been able to run since getting out in 2015. I thought I'd never be able to run a mile, again, and something as stupid as this has basically fixed it... I got a little emotional, not going to lie.
The world needs to see this, because the VA suggested surgery and pain management.
Wooow!! 💕🙏🏾
Scrapping alone fixed it or scraping along with stretching ? Please suggest me im suffering from an year
Soumith Reddy Vodnala do both. I recommend buying a scrapper tool called SideKick Echo. I just bought it 2 weeks ago and it’s helped my shin pain from running so much!!!
James that's amazing. Thank you for your service and best wishes.
For how long do you guys do it for?? He is saying one hour ? Isn't that a lot?

Boom they were back i almost gave up. This literally saved my career. thank you so much for the video. I went on amazon and bought the same materials you posted about on your second video. life changing.

I never comment on UA-cam videos. Just had to come back to this one. I had shin splints for MONTHS, and no amount of rest would make them go away. As soon as I would start running again the pain would return. I was skeptical at first, I don't believe that there's actual "scar tissue" being broken down with this scraping exercise, but boy oh boy does it work wonders! I scraped my shins for about 30 minutes, every other day, for 1 week. Pain is nearly all gone, and I can run again! Thank you so much for this video, nothing else worked for me
I’m so glad it worked! Btw that technique of scraping tendons works on other types of tendinitis too. It’s helped me so many times over the years for different injuries
It's due to the scar tissue having a compounding effect on the pain you experience. The scarring is there as part of the healing process, but it's harder than the good muscle and tendon tissue, so it's more brittle, and when you put your shins under fresh load, all that scarring tends to rupture and break apart, causing more pain and more inflammation, and more scarring! Thus the cycle repeats. I can only imagine the scraping will force the circulation of smaller portions of scarring away from the injury site.
I really appreciate this guy . I had been suffering from shin splits for 2 years , it would even hurt when I walked . Now, i can finally run and skate . Many thanks for this video!!
how many times per week and how much time did u scrap?
@@3doubleVpointFr Once or twice daily , 100 times per side
Suffered unbearable splints for most of my life. Yelling at the top of my lungs pain. When they got bad I could barely wear pants. A slight touch during inflammation would feel like a hammer. I looked into surgery. This is the only thing that helped. Thank you! A debt of gratitude.
In the Army and got shin splints, was getting extremely frustrated because it wouldn’t go away. This cured it, thank you so much.

Dude, you are a true hero! This is the only real solution I found after suffering from shin splints for about 2 years. I did 1 up to 6 months' breaks from running, but they were always coming back on the first or second training. I have also spent a ton of money on promising "heal-shin-splints" items, with no results at all. You deserve much more views! Liked, subscribed and everything. I am going to copy this message to your other shin-splints' video as well. Truly thank you!
Seron256 so now r u doing good
Thank you for this tip! I’ve had shin splints for a whole year and this is the first time I’ve been pain free! Just scraped both legs and feel better already, no doubt try this out and you’ll feel like a new person
That's awesome!
What kind of tool
@@davidduncan1226 can you tell me how I. Do the exercise 1 hours continuous or spilt times of day?
How are your shins now?
how are you now
Been suffering from shin splints for the past 2 months.I am a badminton player. I always took 2 weeks off had 1 week of painless badminton training and the pain is back again. I scraped my legs this morning and felt immediate relief. I'll keep doing this and my usual stretches and hope for the best.
Update week 1: I scraped for 20 minutes each day 10 min for each leg . In the past 2 days I do this routine 2 times a day while doing daily tibial and calf raises and I stretch out my whole lower half multiple times a day.
The pain is gone from my left leg but its still in my right leg however I can feel the pain being a lot lighter. I'll continue on this routine and give an update each week!
Update 1.5: I went to practice today and my leg only hurt due to the bruises caused by scraping itself.
Update 2: its been weeks pain is completely gone i can run, jump, sprint whatever I want
Hi, what tool you used to scrap ?
@@Elcam0te back of a comb
Did you had muscle knots in the lower leg? because thats what i have and the end result of this is shin splints
.... I am *SO* glad I came upon this video. I’ve been suffering from shin splints ever since I started running and I just cannot seem to get rid of them no matter what I do. This has helped tremendously!! Thank you 🙏🏻
That's great!
the only video on the internet that explains it perfectly
I am suffering on shin splints for more than two years .. this is the best treatment.. It works for me... 😍 thanks a lot 😍
Awesome! Glad it helped you
What is the tool or what can I use instead of that?
Thanks!! My 2 months of posterior on the bone shin pain gone in a week. And i actually didn’t stop running. Just scraped the hell out.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
What kind of tool u scrap
Thank you so so much!! All I have found until now is info on anterior shin splints. This gave me immediate relief!! Thank you for sharing!
missed out on a full season of playing due to painful shin splint, met over 10 clueless doctors at top hospitals and nothing worked, and then i stumbled on this video and tried it, pure miracle ,worked 100% and the pain is gone, thanks alot, the key is to really press and break down those little lumps thats causing the pain and once those tiny lumps dissolves u can actually see it melt and flow down ur legs,that right there is the devilish pain flowing away and immediately u will get instant relief.
I want to start by thanking you for making this video. I am in the process of entering the police academy and was very close to quit due to an unresistible pain I'm the exact same area and thanks to your video I was able to buy the tool to give myself the massage and now I AM PAIN FREE. I am very thankful may God bless you and yours.
That's great! Glad it worked for you
Hey David I’m leaving to marine boot camp and I’ve had shin splints for 5 years non stop, I’ll run for a day and next I’m fucked and I’m going to boot camp May 6 wish me luck I read you comments and will do this an hour a day maybe two each leg and hopefully will have the result you and many others have had thanks for posting this short informative is the best videos thank you again have an amazing life!!
Did it work for you?
This scraping exercise is great - but you must allow the microscopic muscle tears (shin splints) to heal to the point you have minimal and intermittent pain or the scraping is just going to aggravate the tears. While it might feel like it is helping, it is only because you are increasing blood flow to the area. To allow shin splints to heal, you must back off whatever activity you are doing that is causing your shins to hurt. If your shin splints are mild, they will hurt only during or after running; if your shin splints are moderate they will hurt during and after walking; if your shin splints are severe they will hurt pretty much all the time - even when you resting. If you're shin splints are severe (that is, they hurt even while you're resting), you need to use crutches and not-weight-bear for at least 2 weeks. The duration of crutches and non-weight bearing is dependent upon how severe your shin splints are. REMEMBER: If your shins are hurting, then they are NOT healing. Sharon, Physical Therapist
Thank you. I have a couple questions though, do ankle band exercises help or hurt when shins r painful? Are there any preventative exercises to do? Could posterior shin splints be prevented with running shoes with more support? Thx!
i’ve been off running for a year and still have shin pain when i run, what can i do?
My god this actually worked for me!! I have had bad shin pain since January. What helped me was strengthening the soleus and gastrocnemius, plenty of ice baths/icing the shins and slow runs. I took 10 days off running to scrap 20-30 mins a day and now I do it before my runs. Honestly an absolute game changer!!! Highly recommend this
Man it really worked straightaway after i tried it. Magic. Thanks for sharing it
Awesome!
This has been working really well for me, thank you! Still coming back to this technique after intense workouts - it's a life saver!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
David Duncan can you tell me which tool you are using?
Should I still be running while doing this massage method?
@@gallardo7813 No, take a week or two off from running. Do this everyday for about 5-10 minutes or more if you want, for the best outcome
It isn't just a matter of scraping. I had a PT scrape my calves 15 years ago in high school and it helped but didn't go away. You need to strengthen the affected, weak side with hip hikes, calf raises, and raise the toes/front of foot to strengthen the anterior shin muscles as well. Also strengthen hip abductors, especially on the affected side. Stretching of course as well and you can do myofascial work with a lacrosse ball.
Hey man what did you use to scrape and for how long do I do it on each leg please help
Trying out this technique and the stretches 👍 I thought I tried everything and have watched so many videos on shin splints, but this absolutely makes sense.
Thanks brother. I tried it and the Shin actually feels better.
Best video on yt for curing shin splints, what a life saver!
Thank you for making this video. I play volleyball and shin splints are what kept me from improving and playing for more than an hour, even with breaks. I've had the pain for a little over a year and a half. Now I can play matches for hours straight with 0 pain and my jump has increased as well with no issues.
Once again, thank you! I'll definitely show this to anyone I know that has had the same problem.
Phenom what did you use to scrape the leg
@@cassadybarrett3582 I used one of those Jade 'Gua Sha' tools. Ordered it on amazon, looks sort of like a fin off a fish.
Hey bro ! So like did you continue to scrap after the pain went away or was it like a one time thing and it never came back.
Devansh Bhardwaj I only did it when I felt pain or tenderness along my shins so more of a one time thing than a continuous one. I also use a massage roller stick on my calves (targeting the soleus) after I run to be safe.
Thanks for your video,I have been suffering for a while with posterior shin splints and scraping my legs does work!I started to do it before I go for a run too and it feels like it works!

I can't believe it, this is the only thing that worked after taking several weeks off and stretching every day. I would add that using your gua sha tool to do a self massage on the unflexed calf greatly helped in alleviating tightness and tension. Thanks so much for this insight and help!!
17 years old and been experiencing absolutely awful shin splints to the point where I thought I had a stress fracture. Took off 2 weeks with constant PT and icing just to come back and have the pain return in a couple days. Hopefully this man is right because these shin splints are really taking a toll on me. I’ll edit if I feel any relief during my meet tmrw and in the future
Update?
Same. Been doing this for 3 weeks now with a few days rest in between each time because of soreness on my posterior shin muscle. Other than that, it seems to be working slightly, maybe. Will update again later
@@Foxxyownzupdate
Is this helpful?
Not cured yet huh?
this shit is no joke, I struggled with shin splints for 3 months and literally did this ONCE (20 minutes) and my pain shifted from deep within to more of a superficial pain. Immediately sprinted on it, didnt feel any pain. Scraped a couple more times and pain completely gone. THANK YOU MAN
You were just able to fix it just like that? What did you use to scrape and what oil?
this may be helpful for healing some surface scar tissue, but the root cause is a weak soleus muscle ! Bent knee calf raises, really hammer those calves, remember soleus is a small deeper muscle that you can really see, so skinny people like marathon runners could have strong soleus but not big calves, hope this helps someone !
I did over 6 months of soleus specific training.. i increased strength in a variety of exercises by over 50% and significantly increased my work capacity.. bent knee calf raises for example I started with 12 reps at 50kg. After 6 months i did 20 reps at 90kg. I rested from running the whole time and started a graded return to running beginning with just running on the spot (I've had shin splints for 10 years and it's been one failed attempted after another with trying to get back into running).. this time was no different. The strength i gained made no difference whatsoever. A lot of clinical physiotherapy literature supports this.. that strengthening doesnt make any difference. Nor does stretching or electro shockwave therapy, ultrasound etc. Ive never tried this massage technique but seems like i have nothing to lose. Ive all but given up hope

I came across this video as I typed into youtube "how to fix shin splints" and your miracle video popped up. I thought to myself id give this a go for a week and see where I end up. nothing else has worked obviously. the pain while scraping was excruciating but the reward was enormous. NO PAIN NOW WHEN RUNNING!! I can run again. Thank you, David. keep the videos coming!!!

I'm a few months away from 30. I have had concurrent issues with shin splints and leg pain for 15 or so years. I just pushed through everything all the time. That's how my Dad raised me: if something's wrong, I'm just being a bitch and need to do better. This legitimately might be the best 5 minutes of video I have ever seen. God bless this man.
To clarify, this is the very first time I have ever heard of shin splints. As a grown ass, college educated man
The least i can do is say thank you!!! I'm a 100 & 200 meter runner and due to bad form i got the shin splints, i couldnt almost found info about posterior shin splints, and i discovered this video by mistake since it does not appear at the top when you search for posterior shin splints, 4 days of doing this for 25-30 mins solved the problem, any time i feel they are coming back i massage for 3-4 days and they are gone, thank you sooooooo much buddy :)
I'm in really similar spot, I'm a 100m and 200m sprinter and developed these as I began my training cycle, probably due to not working out enough and going into too much.
great to see this worked for you! do you still do this and is it still working?
@@emansol9588 they did lower the pain to the point that i can run and almost do everything but they are still there, but seem to be going away slowly. I did this for like 4 days and stopped tho i'm starting to do it again on weekends, i do 30 mins each leg but one thing that help a lot is ICE, 3 times a day (about ever 4 hours) i ice my shins for 15 mins
@@emansol9588 btw if you can take a week off do it, but keep icing
Glad it's working for you! Since they aren't fully healed yet I'd recommend doing this. Scrape for 15mins a day every day in the evening, ice in the morning, and do daily PNF stretching for your calves and hamstrings with 2-5mins holds (I just made a video about this type of stretching). And completely stop running until the pain is gone for at least a week. Then SLOWLY transition back into running on soft grass (low impact) every 3 days or so. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of running provided the pain isn't coming back. If you feel it start to flare up again back off on the running. Keep me updated if you can!

Hi, sounds interesting! I wonder which tool you use for scraping
Thank you so much for making this video. After trying everything after over a year of shin splints, this worked amazingly. I went to an ortho doc a few days ago and told him what I was doing. His only suggestion (mind you, he never offered this as a solution) was to do it every 2 days so it "heals" and then continue on. Thanks again :)
Awesome, glad I could help!
Here is a question: is it normal for your ankle to hurt as well? It hurts to wear hard shoes (like Docs or tall boots), rest my ankle on the bath tub, and when I walk. Is that a part of shin splints and do you happen to know a way to deal with that? Thank you!
I wouldn't say it was normal with shin splints but sometimes the pain does go down to the inner front side of your ankle. I would scrape that also and do some light stretching on wherever the pain is.
@@alidonnenwerth8628 can you describe where exactly on the ankle?? If you're still having this particular pain let me know.
I can't take a week off of running. I'm in track. I'll get kicked off of the team. I can't compete.
Scrape and stretch everyday and wrap your shins with something like an Ace bandage before you run. It should help, but running with shin splints sucks. Good luck man.

Sidhu Rocks well.... it worked for a little while but out of no where it was just excruciating pain and I was out for a week. So I stopped doing it and I was better. I’ve just learned to wear compression socks/sleeves and ice a lot. Also before u run try and activate your shins like walking on your heels, toe taps, and calf raises.
straight up did it for like 1 minute and it felt so much better, thanks so much, only thing that has worked for me.

+AG Punkrunner How'd it work?
In the meantime my problems are gone, but I don't believe your tip is a magical solution and the pain was definitely not gone in 1 week. I stopped running for 3 weeks, did core stability exercices every week, used a foam-roller regulary. Eventually I started running again, small laps. 4k, 7k, 10k,... Working towards my goals without risking injuries.
I believe that the treatment you describe helps to take away some 'muscle knots', but I think a more versatile approach to address all problems is still necessary... This includes visiting a therapist if you're not sure you're doing it the right way. But I'm pretty sure your tip did contribute to resolve my issue, so thanks for that ;).
Glad you think it at least helped some. haha
It's incredible. Thank you from my heart.
It worked! I saw this video 3 weeks ago. I started doing it. It felt like I was making more damage, since the area started to feel painful. Week after week it got less painful, and after 3 weeks I don't feel nothing at all. Before this treatment I was advised to rest, I did it for a month, and just after getting back the shin splints would get back. 1 more month of rest. And the same result.
Now I'm finally running without pain, and I'm excited to get back in my previous running shape. Thanks! This is a life advice for me :)

Thought this wouldn’t work because of the amount of other methods I tried....But after the first session of “scraping” I already felt the relief. This method honestly helped SO MUCH!!!
Awesome, that's great to hear.
Holy crap you are kidding me! I’ve put up with shin splints for years and it was this easy!? Done this for two days and already so much better!
For everyone asking: Use a GUA SHA for scraping. It’s smooth at its edge, has many uses across the body, and is the traditional tool for this method.
This really does help,you won't feel the pain if you do it for a few days,but you could get them again if you don't strengthen your other leg muscles,I would recommend working on your calves, upper leg,and hip abductor muscles.
So that these muscles take the strain of off your lower legs.
If you’re suffering through shin splints check out the knees over toes guy. He has a video call his ankle sprain protocol. After so many years of suffering he finally found a solution. All it took was 5 pound dumbbells, a couple Rogue wraps & tibialis raises.
can vouch, kneesovertoes guy is amazing for all injuries

So once again I got posterior shin splints. After 3 days of pain, I turned again to this video. I did the same technique I did last time - so about 5 mins max in the evening, following morning and evening again, and 2 days later I'm pain free again.
I'm a complete skeptic, and prefer to follow science based stuff, but this worked for me.
Oh and I got a bruise at the point where most of the pain was like some other people get.
That's great! The science of it make sense, it's just not something most doctors and PTs know about for some reason.
It worked... Thanks.... U made my day ... Thank u was struggling for 7 days

Bro what was that thing which he scratch the leg
Obviously this video is older, but another option is just using oil and massaging your thumb along the track on the inner shin bone down to where the pain is. Start top to bottom and just repeat for a few minutes twice a day. Back off if it hurts or go softer. Self massage helped me a ton.

This is pretty much Graston technique and it definitely works. I've used it multiple times to help with nagging shin issues. Works great for any muscle issues really as it really gets any of the scar tissue build up out. Hurts like hell the first few times though.

Thankyou..
:)
Happy to help!
Kunal me suffering since 4 years still no cure do this really works please suggest
I've been suffering with shin splints on and off for about 9 months. Currently following your gua sha technique. will try this as well. Thank you!
How do you feel now?
@SAHl no shin splints at all right now. But that's been the case before so let's see how far it goes. I also have very tight hips that I'm working on so it's likely that they will return. The shin splints are just a symptom of what's going on in my hips and upper legs. My quads and hamstrings are also very tight. I'm a computer worker so I sit long hours
@@NotYourDud3 Still no shin splints?
I've been struggling with shin splints for months . I ship out to boot camp in 3 weeks and I'm so scared I wont be able to run over there . Gunna do this for a week and go back out and try running again . I'll be back with updates . Thanks !
Edit : I have never been so happy that my pain is gone . I was able to run a mile today without it hurting my shins at all!!!!!!!
Update?
@@chaoticchaos3978 It gives you a few bruises so instead I got a foam roller and I stretch every day and roll it out for at least 20 minutes a day and icing every day got at least 20 minutes as well . I'm gunna run tomorrow and see how it goes I'll let you kn9w
@@xxplosiivee2653 Ohhh ok man... Thanks alot... Let me know how its goes bro. Hope it goes good.
@@chaoticchaos3978 just came back from my first run. Huge improvement. I ran on grass for 5 - 10 minutes . by then I usually start aching bad. No pain on my inner shin which is my main problem. went easy so i stopped after 2 laps .
@@xxplosiivee2653 Thats awesome dude... Which foam roller do you use bro?
I've had shin splints for 5 months now. Had to stop running, couldn't even go on walks anymore. I tried everything, I'm 3 weeks in now having done the scraping with a gua sha and I haven't had any pain since...I'm going to try running again soon!
It's interesting that neither of the physiotherapists I went to mentioned this technique. I'm assuming it's because there's no studies or "proof" on it yet. I hope they do some soon because it really works.
For any new viewers of this video wondering if it works or not, I will be doing this for an extended amount of time to test this. My story is that I have been having posterior shin splints for at least 6-7 years and I've tried resting (for months even), massaging, stretching and what not. I will return with an update
Hey man, are there any household items that I can use as an alternative
Did it help?
Update???
It's been a year and no update... Looks like it's fatal guys.
Any updates bruh?
This method worked with me. Many thanks for this video.
