I do believe he said running for in the video sir. But knowing what it is should help hou also find a solution to the issue.

Front of the shin pain from the muscle overworking is relieved by reducing the workload of the muscle. If you are walking fast for exercise, avoid fast uphill walking or slow down the pace. Running for short bursts and walking slowly is much easier on this muscle. If you are a runner, getting the foot to land more parallel with the ground is key. Start by making sure you aren’t in low drop shoes. Find out if your shoes have over 10mm drop/pitch height. When running, imagine your foot landing parallel to the ground or land ‘on the front of your heel’. You may even need to do some short burst of forefoot striking to over correct and then run normally with the foot relaxed and landing more parallel. You will also need to stay up tall and lean your whole body slightly forward to land more comfortably with the foot flatter. I hope this helps. These muscles will take up to four weeks to recover with massage and rest, so you may need to pull right back until recovered.

@@foxxrider250r I have this issue for only my right shin when running. It stiffens up and gets sore quite quickly. Is this more of a technique issue or mobility issue? My left leg is the dominant one if that matters.

[@foxxrider250r]

@@MrBrouwerPower not too sure, just copied what he said from another reply. Sorry!

[@NeilNZ]

I've had this for over well over 30yrs. That muscle after only very short walks gets hard on both legs, and makes walking impossible without stopping for 5 mins and then try again. It's painful as hell when it starts as you simply cannot walk any further. Would like to have seen some prevention to reduce the pain or ways to improve the condition.

[@malikali-vi7lz]

i have same problem. Did you find any solution or treatment?

[@NeilNZ]

@malikali-vi7lz I believe anti swelling cream can be used, never tried it though. It's an overworking muscle as the video says. I don't see any cream helping this condition in anyway. I just walk slowly and put as little weight as I can on the foot (feet). A doctor should help to advise. I don't see there's any real cure without some sort of surgery, and that may not help anyway. I just live with it and the pain it gives is unbearable when it starts.

[@suukinsin6771]

It went away once i started reducing carbs n increased mg n calcium suppliments

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

Bit of a trek from East London. But you've helped with my research as a lot of videos look at the rear tendon. Something is up with my hip, to compensate my lower back ,glute, thigh and shin are compensating. Or some variation of.

93 Ranger clutch seems to have a tearing sensation on this after use when extending it to the max. Like bending my leg to get onto my bed or put on a sock, even the big toe on the same leg. I do have a bicycle wreck injury on that same knee.

[@chimneyflinttrucking]

It hurts so bad right now 😩

[@katherineking3174]

Amen

[@pompano_jedi172]

Happened to me many times while playing basketball. I get too much stiffness almost cramp like stiffness on exactly those areas. Then I stretch it out over and over but most of the time it never goes away

[@Kirmo13]

Same. I've had it for five years now. The level of pain comes and goes, but it never truly goes away. I've been to a couple of doctors, two physios and even a chinese massage guy specialized in sports massage. Nothing worked

[@carolinepinkney1176]

I keep geting intermittent warm/burning were he's put the green no pain just random few times a day

[@uncle978]

Massage with a salt ball or foam roller!! Feels so good and loosens the muscles before a walk or run ☺️

Shin splints on the outside of the bone ? I see allways on youtube channels that the inside of the bone hurts ... so what is it ? What youi show is tibialis anterior ....

[@petercharles1482]

Shin splints is a very general, common term for pain along the edges of the shin bones. There are three muscle groups. Most commonly the inside ones become problematic as most feet roll inwards making them work harder. Some high arch feet roll outwards making the outside muscles work hard. This video is talking about the front group (anterior) muscles that pull the foot upwards. I hope this helps…

[@MK-it7wk]

I used to run four times per week but developed very painful shins and had to stop a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to get back to running. However, after about 1km the area of my leg you pointed at with the red marker began to pain again (the same area that caused me to stop before). This was heartbreaking as I really want to get exercising again. Any idea how this can be resolved?

[@bulletsedge5681]

Did you used to run on concrete or any other hard surface? I heard doing so was bad for your legs in the long term. If so try running on softer things like grass or turf

[@hedwich1476]

I hope Im not too late with my comment, I had the same issue. The solution for me was to stop landing on my heels whilst running, try to land on your toes

[@MK-it7wk]

@@hedwich1476 I’ll try this though I don’t think I run on my heels. I’ll be extra vigilant, thanks!

[@hedwich1476]

@@MK-it7wk Yeah u can always give it a try. For me massaging also helped alot, try to loosen the muscle before and after running.
