Massage Tutorial: Tibialis Anterior (SHIN SPLINTS!!)

In this video I explore the different methods to work the tibialis anterior muscle - one of the main muscles involved in ... drum roll ... SHIN SPLINTS. Help lengthen this muscle and free is from it's unhealthy/co-dependant relationship with the tibia.

Great video. Why am I now just finding this? I really appreciate your knowledge of the lower leg anatomy and genuinely understanding what you're doing.

[@donnaaddy7265]

Seriously exactly what I need! Now if only I could find a therapist who could duplicate your technique.

LOL!

[@ellychavez198]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about can you still workout with shin splints try Mackorny Run Fast Blueprint ( search on google )? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for getting rid of shin splints minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.

[@gailmciver1440]

Brilliant, thank you x

[@2danandrews]

Gonna send this to my personal torturer, I mean massage therapist.

Lol!

[@LydellAaron]

Wow, I could use this. Sitting here with my "muscle hook" trying to self trigger the same areas in this video. Trying to hit those trigger points yourself is just not the same as having someone work on you.

[@EvolutionWendy]

I really love the measured pace of your voice here. Recent videos (2019/2020) your voice speed is increased to pack more information in. Since the videos provide two-tracks of learning - visual and voice - if your words are too fast, I cannot process both tracks of information. This video has a perfect pace of voice information, to visual information. Thank you for listening. Much love to your work. Our teacher is using these as teaching videos, by the way, at Skyline College in San Bruno.

[@macccerkiddd]

So I do sport massage and I have to say this is probably the TA is probably the most painful deep tissue massage I've had.

[@davidneuberth3734]

It is. But i love it

[@hectorheath9742]

Why d'you start your sentence with 'So'?

[@hibiscusangel7376]

My favorite muscle.

[@anatduiev]

As someone with a bunion, I immediately recognized that your patient has one, and it is a muscle that is even more noticeable to those with foot problems!

[@Bart-Did-it]

It may be 6 years old but thankyou you for this video .

[@basquiatpicasso4766]

satisfying...

[@jenniferlouie5310]

Do you or can you create a video to assist with increasing flexion at the knee. Those who have genu valgum

[@gomo8523]

I really love your videos. Can one do this in the acute stage? or is it only after 48 hours of the injury?

[@RebelMassage]

Shin splints is usually a gradual onset dysfunction. If someone is in severe pain I will usually make sure they are under the care of a PT or Dr. and wait til it subsides.

[@annasahlstrom6109]

I remember all my classmates who got shin splints from track and cross country.

[@hallehconger823]

My pain is the side of my knee lateral.. i'm bone on bone but I still think my problem is the tightness on the lateral side of my knee all the way up and all the way down

[@joeyh5325]

why dorsiflexion can soft the TA? I thought it's contraction when foot is in dorsiflexion, so the muscle TA might be hard?

[@ian-hm6cx]

god why did i choose track as my sport

[@pleasantsville]

Now to find someone that will do thins on my shin splint.

[@anitashamachurn2092]

Are there any drug to alleviate the psin?

[@junaidaslam1263]

I have pain in Tibialis muscle what is the treatment

[@marthacarranza4512]

Correction: Tibialis Anterior's action is inversion, so if you want to stretch you need to do the opposite action. The insertion of this muscle is at the medial side (base of the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform).

[@Hobbyist387]

I love these videos but I was also looking for a comment like this - isn't it fully lengthened when in plantar flexion and eversion?

[@marthacarranza4512]

@@Hobbyist387 it's a yes to your question.

[@stpaulphillip]

I need this

[@TheMusicTimeMachine.]

Is this good for Lace bite?

[@warrior_9726]

Not me sitting up here waiting for Johnny Cash to play in the beginning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Godisnotjesus1967]

Im not sure my pain is caused by common reason. I had fusion on L1, L2, L3..... discs....1987.....military injury, compress fractures. The pain seems related to fatigue, much golf practice. Also I suspect nerve block. Innitially my hips gave problems. That ia gone now. Only left leg tibia......outside is sensitive to walking......lie on back and hitting golf balls.

[@ashleytaylor994]

Can a nerve in the back be causing the anterior tibialis to be overactive?

[@GoSummitSolo]

Your videos are so good I learn a lot from them but the only thing I get Confused at from your technique is why do you massage downwards? From my research and studies I believe it is safe to do that on the back but going against the blood flow on the other limbs can be risky can't it not? For blood clotting, going against 5hw blood flow.??

[@vini0555]

Pure Professional Fitness Training Exercise good question for most massage techniques you want to work downward to circulate the blood and warm the tissue to gain some laxity and then work up. That way the massage has flow and function. When it comes to blood clots you have to be careful and avoid those areas because if you work upwards near those areas you can push said clots toward the heart and cause fatal problems. Building your foundation knowledge is key here to know where and how to work the body.

[@donnieavant2512]

Shouldn't you massage towards the heart,though?

[@Johncena-yj7pe]

Heaven

[@maggienoffke7360]

I think a better stretch would be to plantarflex and evert, not invert, the foot. Thank you for video!

[@tjgrafiks]

I started developing lumps in the tissues of the anterior muscle. they never bothered me until now. 2 days ago they suddenly became tender and sore. I used to stretch and foam roll these areas before with no issue but now I can't even put any pressure or weight. the muscle feels extra tight. It's extremely painful to fold my legs under and sit on my knees. a stretch I did every other day to stretch out my quads shins and fix ankle mobility. the whole area seems to be hot to the touch also. I hope it's nothing serious. it starts about 1-2" from the top of my ankle right up to about 4" short of my knee. I didn't have any injury and wasn't doing any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. what do u think is possibly happening?

[@darvit2]

Maybe a vericose vein issue? I'm not a doctor and it sounds like you should go see one.

[@tjgrafiks]

@@darvit2 no these are not vericose veins. I know what they look like. what I have are just straight up lumps. about 3 or 4 on my shin area of my left leg and 2 small ones in the same area of my right leg

[@devinpickell3928]

The comments on the music are hilarious

[@brando.r97]

i’ve had this for almost 2 years, i play basketball once a week. If i go for 2 days in a week i can’t even run or jump. Idk what to do at this point i feel like i’ve tried everything

[@michaelphillippi3582]

The good pain

[@shabamflam]

If i want to give a full body massage, do I do the front then have them flip over and do the back? Or should I go bottom to top and have them flip each time. Like start with feet and shins, flip over, massage calves, massage hammies, flip over, massage quads, and so on?

[@RebelMassage]

There is no right or wrong answer here. Different therapists subscribe to different schools of thought on this. Personally I take the information the clients is giving me about any focus they may have and choreograph from there. Hope this helps!

[@onamiilove777]

Place client in prone position(face down) back, arms, finger and legs. Turn over to supine(face up) position, legs, arms and lastly neck is traditionally a good start and finish... Good luck

[@SpencerLowe-kg4rg]

That is a nice shin

[@op54581]

hi

[@narangah8707]

Nice video but.. can you get rid of this annoying music? It is very hard to follow what you are saying.

[@cariwilliams2657]

The music is very distracting.

[@snipper1ie]

Aye! I keep expecting Harry Potterfield to be working on a gun. Then again, it might be there to drown out the clients screams. For if she was working on my shins, I'd be screaming

[@Nvilla22]

Loved the video, hated the music
