I’ve refrained from posting, however, due to the frequent talk of shin splints, I would like to add my knowledge to this discussion.
Back story on me, exercise Science major with a focus in physical therapy. I was a physical therapy assistant in the army and was part of the team that started the new rehabilitation program/training regimen for the army.
The causes of shin splints are due to excessive amounts of stress being put on the muscles along the tibia. However, it can be healed and even prevented prior to any injury occurring. Running form can be a main cause but with a proper gait analysis and gait training it can be corrected. Constant running without time to heal will lead to shin splints, however, a good way to prevent this is by implementing a proper stretching regimen. One where you are holding the stretches 30-60 seconds and performing the stretches 3-4 times a day. One of the main causes of shin splints is tightness in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (calf muscles ). Proper stretching will help eliminate most of these issues along with a proper strengthen regimen. Also, wearing shoes that fit the way you run is very important. One shoe style is not for everyone. Hope this helps!
