I went hiking on vacation to a mountain in Peru and then I have shin and knee pain. I can´t workout at the gym as I normally used to. I dont have a lot of pain but it´s not comfortable. I am watching all of your videos to get better. Thank you so much

[@elyurias7201]

I started jogging a five week ago because I don't have good health. I cannot do other exercises, I don't have the money. I work two day a week for two more months and in two week I have three weeks off because not enough work.The pain is in front of the tibia. I will try those excercise, I hope the pain will go away. I really want to have a better life style.

Hey! There are plenty of really great workouts available on youtube while you heal your shins. For example Move with Nicole - fantastic, short and easy strengthening pilates! And it doesn’t impact your “running muscles” in an intense way ❤

Glad I found your video! Not because it hepe me alot, but it confirmed all my theories that I'm having. I've been struggling with shin splints for 9 months since I started football again at the age of 38 (LOL) and what I found quite recently is that the solution is not massage, stretching etc, but to improve the range of stress I can put on my lower legs. Therefore, it just recently hit me, that I should perform plyometric training, because it is very similar to the motions of football. A lot of jumping, side forces on the lower legs etc. Been doing it for only 2-3 trainings so far, but the recovery time has been ALOT shorter already. My theory is also to do the excercises with low intensity at first, but increasing it along the path. Hopefully the curement is not only temporary, but persistent 🙂

[@elmehdiaoussiad2694]

[@milk__teee]

For the last two weeks I’ve been having problems with my shins since I now go to uni and have to walk to my bus station, mind you it’s probably because I have to fast walk with very unforgiving flat shoes like converse or vans since I don’t usually give myself an extra minute or two to walk. But recently I started wearing alphabounces meant for running and I go at the same time, probably at the same speed and have almost no problems in my legs anymore. It also may have been because I was exercising everyday after being super inactive since I used to drive everywhere and stopped doing any exercise in general. Maybe it was an accumulation of working out more, then having four days of rest due to homework and getting proper sleep, which allowed my body to adapt to my new lifestyle of having to walk more

[@ahmedyounis2115]

That was the best video on shin splits I’ve ever seen. I’ve been doing these exercises for 1 month, but when I spend too much time standing (like on a weekend cooking and cleaning all day), the pain returns, and it gets better with rest. When do you think I’ll be able to start the jumping exercises? When do I know I’m ready for this next step?

[@floatyseagull9472]

Do u have flat feet? Get proper inserts for your shoes. And I think plyometrix exercises are what makes your bones stronger to shin splints in the first place. Do them

[@dbs5212]

@@floatyseagull9472 I would say, go without shoes. Otherwise you're not tackling the problem, only tackling the pain.

I found using voltaren, then tiger balm helped a LOT, as well as a massage roller I didnt want to stop playing football so I just didnt, tiger balm carried the fuck outta the pain management 10/10 would recommend

My injury took a month, I took enough rest and went to physical therapy. How long do I need a rehabilitation period to return to running? Do hot compresses and massage help me come back faster? please help me🙁

Been stuck with it for 3 years, will try more of these excersizes

[@suppliers9855]

Me too for 4 years now but non of these exercises seem to work. Also been to many physiotherapist but also without any succes. Such a frustration as a runner🫠

[@DevDunkStudio]

@@suppliers9855 for me it has been going slightly better. Been doing these excersizes and a lot more. I try to do 1 workout/run a week where the pain is slightly noticable, and the rest the pain needs to be minimal. Also a healthier high protein, low sugger diet with creatine, also probably plays a role

Joined a new boxing gym and it's pre-season, I sparred some of the best guys in there and was promised a place in the squad. Told them I can't continue running with the squad during pre season (3x per week for another 3 weeks) and was told if I don't join in I won't get a place in the squad. If I join in I'll get injured and won't be able to do the very basics of boxing, if I don't join in I don't get a place in the squad - it's a lose lose and either way I can't box simply because I cannot run without getting injured. So annoying.

[@recycology5468]

After 50 yards or so as I walk my Husky, my outside left calf muscle starts to ache and the pain wraps around to my shin. This has been going on for about a year now. A cane and stopping once in awhile helps me get home. No swelling, red and warm feel to the touch and the Er cleared me of DVT. I don't work out but at my age gaming helps me keep cognitive but I get really physically active when I play to where I'll end up twisting my left leg for balance and body. English with the controller. Could that be the cause?

[@adammaik48]

Great video, very professional compared to others. However, in my case of having lower leg pain, which I don't even belief is shin splints anymore, i have it for over 10 Years now and seeing multiple specialists-physios, osteopaths, orthopaedist I still didn't find the cure. It seems the problem became not with the edge of the bone, but the tendons and just the fascia laying down in multiple direction (posterior, anterior, lateral) tendons. The closest therapy of relief I found a guy with unorthodox style which he did visceral therapy of my gut basically and it goes away for like Two weeks or more ( just half an inch on the bone pain was left, but all other symptoms gone, better sleep and Training pain free). What would you recommend and do you have any theory why any rehab & rest don't work for me and what type of injury/disease is this?

[@adammaik48]

Just to add this MRI, USG, X-Ray didn't show nothing pathological.

[@E3Rehab]

A "cure" may not exist. Pathoanatomical diagnoses and imaging findings aren't always necessary for rehabilitation. For example, imaging is not required for MTSS except to rule out other conditions like a suspected stress fracture. Also, as I mentioned in the video, shin splints aren't well understood and there's no definitive research on how to treat them. However, I created this framework based on the population who most often gets shin splints - runners. My recommendation would be to work with a physio who can help you identify your goals and reverse engineer a plan to meet those goals. In most cases, it's unlikely that there will be a "flip of the switch" regarding symptoms and function. Social media has led us to believe that there's a quick fix for everything, but that's rarely the case. I hope this does not come as negative as it's meant to be sincere. Best of luck, Adam.

the one legged lateral jump looks like a knee injury waiting to happen to be honest. and if you're landing flat footed you're probably doing more damage to your knee than good. you would have to land on your toes to absorb the shock with your ankle.
