Shin Splits
As a Physiotherapist and Osteopath, I recommend trying these exercises to prevent and treat shin splints. Various factors can cause this injury, such as running too many kilometers before your body is ready, wearing inadequate shoes, excessive uphill and downhill training, and muscle weakness. Identifying the cause is crucial to avoid recurrence. You may need to rest from running or switch to cross-training for a while to heal before gradually resuming running. Apply ice to the painful area for 10 minutes daily, and use compression socks for added support. Consult your Physiotherapist or Sports Doctor if you experience pain to get an accurate diagnosis and start a personalized rehabilitation program.
