Self massage of the lower leg (inside, outside, back & front) is easily done and will not only reveal the tenderest areas, but will help immensely in addition to the rest, icing, stretching, strengthening and NSAIDs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549901859704549607.post-26681000142712240052008-06-05T12:49:00.000-05:002008-06-05T12:49:00.000-05:00Hi,I experienced years of severe shin splints when...Hi,<BR/>I experienced years of severe shin splints when I was very active in Soccer. A few things I found that worked...<BR/>Warm compress just before you work out helps to loosen up the muscles. <BR/>Put an ankle weight around your toes when you're watching TV and point and flex your foot, it helps to strengthen those shin muscles.<BR/>The BEST thing I have are some neoprene "sleeves" that my trainer gave me. They're basically sleeves that you wear over your shins when you're exercising. It holds the muscle close to the bone so that 1)the jarring is much less painful, and 2)the mainted contact of muscle to bone allows it to actually heal. I still have these years after my splints healed, but every now and then when I feel a flare up, I put them on for a couple work outs and have no problems!! <BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549901859704549607.post-67358652422352397322007-09-15T10:50:00.000-05:002007-09-15T10:50:00.000-05:00Ditto!Thanks for the comment.
