cure for shin splints?
Is there anything (stretching?) to help with shin splints? After sprinting and doing the elliptical they are sore today. TIA!
Re: cure for shin splints?
There's actually a strengthening exercise you can include in with your normal strength workout. The exercise is called a Tibialis Anterior Raise and its a lot like a reverse calf raise. You stand lean slightly into a wall (back against the wall) and you keep the heels of your feet down but you lift your toes towards your shins. On the return you don't want to let your toes go all the way back to the floor...you want to keep some muscle tension in the shin muscle itself to help strengthen them.
I would do this for at least 2 sets of 12 reps on non-consecutive days (i.e. like any other strength exercise).
Hopefully that description makes sense...if you're still unsure you can email me (jprice916@gmail.com) with your email address and I can send you a pic from work because I know the training software we have has a pic of it using a stability ball.
The thing that worked for me was getting shoes that better fit my feet. For me, that meant New Balance instead of Adidas!
I'm sure Jen's advice is about as good as it gets. She's the expert!
