WHAT ARE SHIN SPLINTS?
“Shin splints” are a condition where you develop pain in your lower leg along your shin bone. They can be anterior (along the front of your shin) or posterior (along the back of your shin). For this video I’ll share the best home exercises for anterior shin splints.

WHY DO YOU GET SHIN SPLINTS?
There is a muscle in the front of your shin called the tibialis anterior. Shin splints are an overuse injury (tendonitis problem) in this muscle. I often see this shin splint problem in people who are very active individuals including runners, football and soccer players, track athletes, aerobics participants, and weight lifters.

ACUTE (LESS THAN TWO WEEKS) VS CHRONIC SHIN SPLINTS
Now it’s important to discuss how long you’ve been experiencing your shin splint pain. If it’s been less than two weeks, you’re still in an “inflammatory stage”. Your pain will respond best to rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and gentle stretching per the recommendations in this video. If it’s been longer than that, you should add some gentle massage as well as some strength training exercises as tolerated.

THE BEST HOME EXERCISES FOR SHIN SPLINT PAIN
The best home exercises for effectively treating and eliminating your shin splint pain include massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises. This combination can help you not only feel better immediately, but keep pain away during future activities.
