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.

I never comment on KZbin 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
@scott-richardsonАй бұрын
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 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

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

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.

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

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.

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

@alidonnenwerth86288 жыл бұрын
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!
@davidduncan12268 жыл бұрын
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.

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 :)
