Shin Splint Article-Must Read

[NoNameJames]

I have been dealing with terrible shin splints for months. I read a lot of articles, got new turfs, rolled shins daily, got compression, etc. I stumbled across this article about a week or so ago and so far it has worked! Simple exercises that I do while watching tv or integrate into my work out routine. Played last night and no pain at all.

Anytime. I was very surprised that hip exercises would help with leg problems. Makes sense though, everything is connected.

Nice article for sure. He may want to mention as well that x-rays could be warranted to rule out micro or stress fractures if symptoms persist or worsen.

I had referring knee pain for a while. My knees it turns out were fine but I had IT band syndrome after some graston adhesion breaking therapy along with acupuncture it resolved.

I get both therapies periodically as maintenance. No problems with mobility since.

Correct in everything being connected. The lack of thoracic mobility will cause issues in the hips and knees which was mind blowing to me when I first saw it.
