5 years as an infantryman in the Marines took its toll, and I havent been able to run since getting out in 2015. I thought I'd never be able to run a mile, again, and something as stupid as this has basically fixed it... I got a little emotional, not going to lie. The world needs to see this, because the VA suggested surgery and pain management.

I serve in the US Military. I am in the army and we run at minimum 3 times a week on hardball type surfaces. I got shin splints in March of 2018 and i had tried literally everything. the month long breaks, massage therapy, physical therapy and they just kept bombarding me super strict physical limitation profiles that would prevent me from doing anything and tons of Ibuprofen but every time I started back running again.... Boom they were back i almost gave up. This literally saved my career. thank you so much for the video. I went on amazon and bought the same materials you posted about on your second video. life changing.

How long did you do one per leg?

This scraping exercise is great - but you must allow the microscopic muscle tears (shin splints) to heal to the point you have minimal and intermittent pain or the scraping is just going to aggravate the tears. While it might feel like it is helping, it is only because you are increasing blood flow to the area. To allow shin splints to heal, you must back off whatever activity you are doing that is causing your shins to hurt. If your shin splints are mild, they will hurt only during or after running; if your shin splints are moderate they will hurt during and after walking; if your shin splints are severe they will hurt pretty much all the time - even when you resting. If you're shin splints are severe (that is, they hurt even while you're resting), you need to use crutches and not-weight-bear for at least 2 weeks. The duration of crutches and non-weight bearing is dependent upon how severe your shin splints are. REMEMBER: If your shins are hurting, then they are NOT healing. Sharon, Physical Therapist

I scraped my legs this morning and felt immediate relief. I'll keep doing this and my usual stretches and hope for the best. Update week 1: I scraped for 20 minutes each day 10 min for each leg . In the past 2 days I do this routine 2 times a day while doing daily tibial and calf raises and I stretch out my whole lower half multiple times a day. The pain is gone from my left leg but its still in my right leg however I can feel the pain being a lot lighter. I'll continue on this routine and give an update each week! Update 1.5: I went to practice today and my leg only hurt due to the bruises caused by scraping itself. Update 2: its been weeks pain is completely gone i can run, jump, sprint whatever I want

It isn't just a matter of scraping. I had a PT scrape my calves 15 years ago in high school and it helped but didn't go away. You need to strengthen the affected, weak side with hip hikes, calf raises, and raise the toes/front of foot to strengthen the anterior shin muscles as well. Also strengthen hip abductors, especially on the affected side. Stretching of course as well and you can do myofascial work with a lacrosse ball.

Trying out this technique and the stretches 👍 I thought I tried everything and have watched so many videos on shin splints, but this absolutely makes sense.

missed out on a full season of playing due to painful shin splint, met over 10 clueless doctors at top hospitals and nothing worked, and then i stumbled on this video and tried it, pure miracle ,worked 100% and the pain is gone, thanks alot, the key is to really press and break down those little lumps thats causing the pain and once those tiny lumps dissolves u can actually see it melt and flow down ur legs,that right there is the devilish pain flowing away and immediately u will get instant relief.

I can't believe it, this is the only thing that worked after taking several weeks off and stretching every day. I would add that using your gua sha tool to do a self massage on the unflexed calf greatly helped in alleviating tightness and tension. Thanks so much for this insight and help!!

This has been working really well for me, thank you! Still coming back to this technique after intense workouts - it's a life saver!

this may be helpful for healing some surface scar tissue, but the root cause is a weak soleus muscle !

I did over 6 months of soleus specific training.. i increased strength in a variety of exercises by over 50% and significantly increased my work capacity.. bent knee calf raises for example I started with 12 reps at 50kg. After 6 months i did 20 reps at 90kg. I rested from running the whole time and started a graded return to running beginning with just running on the spot (I've had shin splints for 10 years and it's been one failed attempted after another with trying to get back into running).. this time was no different. The strength i gained made no difference whatsoever. A lot of clinical physiotherapy literature supports this.. that strengthening doesnt make any difference. Nor does stretching or electro shockwave therapy, ultrasound etc. Ive never tried this massage technique but seems like i have nothing to lose. Ive all but given up hope

Scrape for 15mins a day every day in the evening, ice in the morning, and do daily PNF stretching for your calves and hamstrings with 2-5mins holds (I just made a video about this type of stretching). And completely stop running until the pain is gone for at least a week. Then SLOWLY transition back into running on soft grass (low impact) every 3 days or so. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of running provided the pain isn't coming back. If you feel it start to flare up again back off on the running. Keep me updated if you can!

If you’re suffering through shin splints check out the knees over toes guy. He has a video call his ankle sprain protocol. After so many years of suffering he finally found a solution. All it took was 5 pound dumbbells, a couple Rogue wraps & tibialis raises.

Sidhu Rocks well.... it worked for a little while but out of no where it was just excruciating pain and I was out for a week. So I stopped doing it and I was better. I’ve just learned to wear compression socks/sleeves and ice a lot. Also before u run try and activate your shins like walking on your heels, toe taps, and calf raises.

THANK YOU!!! I know it's been more than a week. When my lower posterior shins were still hurting from the scraping for the first 5 days (as was warned so I wasn't concerned), I knew I had to give it more time and keep going. Also, I skype dance lessons from up north and they've had some snow storms, cancelling classes plus Thanksgiving... Monday and today (Wednesday) I was actually able to go all out, elevate, and land on my toes. No pain. NO PAIN!!! I can actually FEEL the posterior part of my shins now, whereas before (for over a year) they were numb to the touch but still hurt on the inside. I now do this technique 5 minutes before practice, do a couple stretches that give the lower posterior part of my shins a good pull, and then do the technique after practice. The past two weeks there hasn't been even the slightest dull ache. Thank you so much. I was watching my dream/goals fade with this pain. Now they are a reality again. :')

This really does help,you won't feel the pain if you do it for a few days,but you could get them again if you don't strengthen your other leg muscles,I would recommend working on your calves, upper leg,and hip abductor muscles. So that these muscles take the strain of off your lower legs.

Thought this wouldn’t work because of the amount of other methods I tried....But after the first session of “scraping” I already felt the relief. This method honestly helped SO MUCH!!!

Obviously this video is older, but another option is just using oil and massaging your thumb along the track on the inner shin bone down to where the pain is. Start top to bottom and just repeat for a few minutes twice a day. Back off if it hurts or go softer. Self massage helped me a ton.

Run 25 miles a week for many months. Definitely recommend trying this I felt immediate relief. I also did bent knee calf stretch on stairs and straight leg calf stretch 3 2-3 minutes at a time a couple times a day. Also would find the specific spots and press on it to loosen it up and did dorsiflexion with band lying down. I still have mild discomfort over the last 5 days doing 40-50 min runs with speed work and easy days for 800m but I had a breakthrough today where my the bent knee and straight leg calf raises like 12-15 minutes a day that loosened up. Overnight from scraping I could feel the results. Definitely had bruising for the first few days. Feel very happy right now and definitely believe scraping and bent knee calf raises are a good plan a fight shin splints. I like alternating shoes with lower flats on speed days and higher arch inserts for easy days. I just used the back of a comb to scrape my calves any lotion should work. I think icing could help too much you only have so much time in a day and found getting rid of the tightness in calves was what helped me feel 80-90% at the end of day 5

Tightness must be dealt with in calf that’s what all my pain was. Will update a month or so from now or if I end up getting pain again. Took it easy on scraping a few days ago cuz it was very tender but these last couple days have made me believe I’m 90-95%

In the meantime my problems are gone, but I don't believe your tip is a magical solution and the pain was definitely not gone in 1 week. I stopped running for 3 weeks, did core stability exercices every week, used a foam-roller regulary. Eventually I started running again, small laps. 4k, 7k, 10k,... Working towards my goals without risking injuries. I believe that the treatment you describe helps to take away some 'muscle knots', but I think a more versatile approach to address all problems is still necessary... This includes visiting a therapist if you're not sure you're doing it the right way. But I'm pretty sure your tip did contribute to resolve my issue, so thanks for that ;).

So once again I got posterior shin splints. After 3 days of pain, I turned again to this video. I did the same technique I did last time - so about 5 mins max in the evening, following morning and evening again, and 2 days later I'm pain free again. I'm a complete skeptic, and prefer to follow science based stuff, but this worked for me. Oh and I got a bruise at the point where most of the pain was like some other people get.

That's great! The science of it make sense, it's just not something most doctors and PTs know about for some reason.

It worked! I saw this video 3 weeks ago. I started doing it. It felt like I was making more damage, since the area started to feel painful. Week after week it got less painful, and after 3 weeks I don't feel nothing at all. Before this treatment I was advised to rest, I did it for a month, and just after getting back the shin splints would get back. 1 more month of rest. And the same result. Now I'm finally running without pain, and I'm excited to get back in my previous running shape. Thanks! This is a life advice for me :)

Best video for shin pain

Multiple years of severe shin splints were gone in maybe around a week I would say. Then a little had come back, maybe 10 percent of what I used to feel. Which is honestly good enough for now, they seem to still be getting better. I scrape every time after I run, not for an hour though, just until the pain of doing just become unbearable. And I push hard when I do this scraping method, I sanded down an old credit card plastics ice scraper for this, works great. Use fine sand paper if you do this however. Anyway thanks a bunch! At first this sounded fake, however now I know this works great!
