Re: Killer shin splits, please help
Thats alright mate, I was looking up this old thread because my kids got them from running,you got any good exercises or stretches for shin splints?Would it pay to use a resistance force against the feet like under a chair or something to build up the front shin muscles?

lay down and put calfs over a solid cushion. socks and shoes off. bringing foot vertical, crunch your toes down trying to put them on the soles of your feet. Then still like that drop the foot down, for 10 secs, then bring the foot up and wiggle the toes. Repeat 10 times. You might find you cramp up before 10 secs, great stretch for it there are others that, for starters ;D
