Back here to comment after watching this video a couple of months ago. Spent ages trying to find a cure but no mater how much resting/rolling, they would always come back when I got down to running at 3:50km pace. Been running pain free now for a while and the thought of shin splints rarely cross my mind now after incorporating these exercised 2-3 times per week. Out of 100 videos, this was the one that sorted it for me. Thanks

Here is a variation if you don't want to buy a band: Lie in bed, on your stomach, with your toes over the edge of the bed. Flex your foot using the mattress for resistance.

Absolutely. I definitely am of the opinion that a lot of people recommend one aspect to a solution, and then it seems the truth is sorta all of the above. Strength and good form will take you a long way

Omg this video is an actual lifesaver...the fact you can’t rush healing of shin splints is so frustrating because you’re exactly right they keep coming back and not running is simply NOT an option I’m too hooked lol...I will TOTALLY be incorporating these works outs as preventative maintenance. I don’t get them often but never want them again ever lol

Looking forward to trying this! Ran a half-marathon last year with zero shin splint issues but was strength training for a year prior and the entire time training for the run. I suspected that was what kept me from injury! Got off track for a while and now when getting back I'm having some shin splint issues. My first thought was loss of strength, so I'm going to incorporate these exercises in along with getting back to strength training 3X per week. Thank you and I will keep you posted!

This was the MOST helpful video I’ve seen on shin splints! Thanks for being clear & informative.

It means a lot to me that it helps! I honestly don't enjoy watching this video anymore; I felt/was so uncomfortable making videos. 🤣 There's a pinned comment with some more info on form too, that should help further. It's on the planned videos to make a running form video, I personally think it goes a long way to helping. Sorry you have to be watching the video if you're dealing with splints, but I promise they're not something that can't be dealt with. 👍👍👍🏃‍♀️

Oh my God it works! I love to break dance but I couldn't do it anymore because shin splints would not go away everytime I tried I had so much pain. I couldn't run or play basketball or jump or anything. I did this exercise once and I was able to dance even with sore shins after it. NO PAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER END. You are the best Take my sub my like you are a life saver. I am gonna do this every day.

Glad I found your video, Justin. Shin splints have ruined my fun for a few years now. Have had to run 5ks and mini triathlons sit zero run practice due to the onset of shin splints. The band causes pain in the exact same area my shin splints start, so being able to train that muscle up will hopefully help hugely. Thanks 👍🏻

I have been using a method similar to this for the last half a year and have found it a brilliant solution to my shin-splints. I totally grabbing this technique though as it's an improvement on my own one. Thank you for the share and educate mate...all the best.

Great video, I’m a currently recouping from shin splints and was looking for videos of why and how to fix this and your video so far is the best. I’ll will definitely gonna do this exercises. Thank you for this video !!!

This seems like some solid advice. I will definitely try this.

You are totally right about muscle failure. It doesn't matter when it occurs, it's just important THAT it occurs. Train your calves, and front shin muscle.

The only treatment that worked for me. Thank you so much!

Bruuuh this works! It’s a miracle I’ve been suffering for months taking long days off then getting back and then I get them again but I guess I found the ultimate solution now. Thank you soo much for sharing this🙏🏻

I'm a new runner and have gotten such bad splits everytime I tried...figured running just wasn't for me. I was at the point of giving up but this video has given me hope. Thank you so much!!❤ Using your tips from now on😊

I've been looking for a good exercise to do with a resistance band against shin splints.

Really hope this works, but it makes a ton of sense! Thanks for sharing.

Hope it helps a ton! Looking back, I'd also really add in that once you've got the added strength, try to put a focus on your running form too. I see a pretty strong correlations amongst the people I have run with that the people who do serious heel striking (and/or seem to keep their toes flexed up to the sky) really seem more likely to get them. I'm not the religious 'barefoot runner' type, but just broadly, keeping your foot relaxed and letting yourself land more in the middle/front of your foot seems to help. My personal suspician is that keeping your foot 'flexed' up hard and then heel striking adds a ton of stress to the front. Add strength and nail your form and you should be good. :)

Great straightforward simple tips. Thanks!

I'm going to do this! Thank you. I really want to continue to run. I shared this with my gym partner too. I hope it works for us.

It made me realize our shin is like going to war without proper preparation and training. So was our leg muscles we immediately run it so it was not ready to absorb all the impact. So i will strenghten my Tib. Ant. Got it!

Thank you, I leave for marine corps bootcamp in 9 days, so I’ve been running a lot and want to prevent injury as much as I possibly can!

Shin splints have decimated my footy season. Definitely trying this during my off season to get my legs right for next year

👉STRENGTH ROUTINE TO PREVENT INJURIES: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZmms496Z5nJkso.html Skip to 3:30 to dive right into the routine. :) ALSO: Running form is another thing that makes a huge impact. Really focus on your form. Here's a quick way to get good form: Stand in place. Now run in place. Run in place a little bit faster. Lean forward slowly while running in place, until you get to the point where you naturally take a step. BAM, that's actually pretty damn good run form. You don't need to be extending your foot out super far, 'lifting' your toes/front of your foot, and heel striking. Really focus on a light footstrike, quick cadence, and keeping your feet under your center of mass.

I haven't tried this exercise yet but I remember something like it with a trainer (over a decade ago) pushed down and forward on my feet (same concept) and it definitely worked. Can't wait to try this.

Funny enough, before I was running seriously, my music teacher taught me these tricks when I said my leg would hurt while I played the bass drum. Super helpful for both

I tried this and I have soccer conditioning tomorrow, I really hope this works, thank you for the advice I appreciate it

I've never done this before but I've had shin splint pain constantly when running and could only run 1km after running a marathon before that. I gave up for a year along with my plantar fascitis and ever since trying the first exercise, I can safely say that you've changed my lifestyle forever. No shin splints and it's made me realise how important strength training is in general. Thank you so much

I had chin splints a decade ago, I felt forced to stop running (doctors advice).This year I'm picking it up again but the thought of chin splits absolutely terrify me. Thank you for this routine to prevent this from happening again.

Awesome advice, thanks for sharing!

Hey man. I just want to say I really appreciated how you took the time to empathize about the struggles of getting into running and past shin splints. People seem to ignore how much of a deterrent this can really be. I am going to try out this method I was just doing it without resistance and I can already feel that area being engaged. I'll try and make sure I let you know if it helps out.

@JustinDoesTriathlon

6 жыл бұрын

Good luck man! I absolutely empathize. Looking back, I get sort of frustrated at myself for not trying to really find a solution earlier on. Really regret the years of lost progress, but it is what it is. I get frustrated that a lot of people get injured and then think that it's their fault, or that 'they're just not a runner/built for running,' etc, and then fall out of an awesome sport before they even really get to experience it. In the scheme of injuries to have, I'd argue that at least it's one you can do something about, and you can totally get through it. It's so frustrating to feel fit and want to run and then get sidelined by something like shin splints or ITBS. Ultimately, I'd just say that deep down, I absolutely think that humans are built for running. Just gotta figure out what we're weak at, fix it, and we're great.

My advice was to run through it, if your mentally strong enough to push through it works.

I have never run in my life until I turned 50 and started running and playing soccer. Mad! it took three years and no more pain on shin splint, knees, and hip joints. I think it takes time until your body fixes it. There is no medicine or therapy. My experience is, working out in the gym to strengthen knees and hips only adding more pressure and pain. Since the pandemic, I don't play soccer, i don't go to the gym. Suddenly, this past summer, I could run for an hour and felt no pain.

So excited that I found this! I started flexing my foot and can feel the muscle contracting right below where the pain is. I’m tired of the exact cycle you described of running more, getting shin splints, and resting, just to get shin splints AGAIN and end up quitting. One thing that helped in the past were ice baths, but it would be nice to do something a little less intense.

I did this exercise plus purchased Nike Structures and shin splints are a thing of the past now. I’m not positive if it was the exercise or the stability shoes and I don’t care !!! I will continue on with both. THANK YOU for this video

2 years later, I have now converted myself to forefoot running. It was THIS video that made me look into what midfoot running was. Since then, I experimented with how my feet strikes the ground when I run, and it turned out that forefoot running was the one that eliminated shin splints for me. Gosh, it was so hard to convert, but now I can’t even run midfoot anymore bcs I’ve gotten so used to forefoot running. It’s been much better on my knees as well.

@@JustinDoesTriathlon Yes it does! I’m amazed! I took your advice with skepticism at first, but now I’m really grateful I tried it out. Everything just went from there on. So thank you.

What you're doing essentially is calf raises and reverse calf raise. You can also do seated calf raises that targets a third muscle that the other two exercises don't, the soleus. The other two targets the gastro and tibia. Although the soleus I presume is more for sprinting rather than jogging. There're also the extensor muscles, and the peroneus muscles, which I am not sure how to preferentially target or even what they'd be useful for. But they're either in the calf or ankle though so targeting them all might help the shins.

So easy and effective Thanks 🙏🏻

Some other things you can do are lean your back against a wall, with your feet placed a foot or two away from the wall, and raising your feet to contract the shins (this can also be done on a slant board/angled surface facing downward) With the resistance band you can also step on one side to create resistance for the other foot to train with You can just do simple toe raises with lots of reps, or add some weight (5, 10 pounds, a can of soup, whatever you have) A weird one ive also seen is to go on your tippy toes, squat down a little bit to put more of weight on your shins, and try walking around on your toes slow and controlled. Holding weight while doing this intensifies it

Hope it helps! Shin splints are in my top two or three least favorite injuries [Silly as that sounds, but some injuries are easier to get rid of than others.] Check the pinned comment for my thoughts on run form too. Good run form + quicker footstep cadence + strength is basically my recipe for no shin splints. Kinda logical if you break it down: You're stronger & you're hitting the ground with less force. Overuse absolutely contributes to shin splints, but they also seem to be common in people who just SLAM their feet down. It even looks painful! I did another older video on my strength routine. Mabye check that out too. To be honest, I still don't love strength work. Just not my thing. BUT it keeps you injury free. I'm about 50 miles per week right now and don't remember the last time I was injured. It works!

@hisdud3ness93

Жыл бұрын

It helps with posterior too, but I recommend taking a video of yourself and sending to a running coach. For me I had weak core and slow running cadence, also collapsed arches and overpronated a lot. I got orthopedic insoles and good shoes for pronating runners. Then incorporated some core exercises, gradually shortened my stride and quickened my running cadence and in around 3 months my shin splints were completely gone.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

This totally worked for me. I had mild but nagging shin split pain in my upper left knee. This exercise fixed it in less than a week.

I've ALWAYS had anterior leg pain, especially as young kid. I'm youngest (by 11 + years) one in a bunch of girls, three cousins and two sisters.

How long should it take to start seeing an improvement after doing these exercises a few times a week? I've reached a point in my training/conditioning where I'm able to run 8-10 miles 3 times per week, but my shin splints are too painful right now to allow me to do that.

Two questions: Could this be a good warm up before a basketball game or would it be better to do on a rest day? And do you have any videos or recommendations on exercises to do for runners knee pain?

I have shin splints since past 6 years. I have had to cut down on all my fav sports because of it. The most frustrating thing was I would give ample rest, rehab,ice them, stretch and that would help. But, as soon as I start an activity I would get it again. Everyone takes it like a minor issue but its a major issue for me. Im gonna try this exercise which btw my physiotherapist also recommended. Hopefully, I get rid of it for good this time.

I hope so too! I spent literally years trying to get into running and failing due to splints. I'd start, they'd show up, people say to rest, I'd rest, I'd start, and bam, get them again. Repeat until I get frustrated and just stop. That was literally like.... 2 or 3 years of that. Resting is definitely super important, but I've found that strengthening is key too. I especially like the exercise at about 5:30. You can really feel it in the shins.

I an 16 years and has just started running. Run 4 km almost 4 days a week ..was suffering from shin pain but it is getting off .i just focused on making my culf stronger

nice presentation, thanks

Looks good and will definitely start doing these. I’ve been plagued with shin splints on and off for a year or so. Q is it best to do the exercises before or after a run or does it matter? Great vid.

Awesome. Thanks

I've been swimming with fins about 15 minutes a day. It's really doing me good.

Will this make it worse if done when still in pain?

Been facing shin splints on right leg recently. Not started any rehab. This one looks right. Will try and post my update. Shin splints I am coming to get ya 😀

The 2nd exercise u reccomend make sense to me now. I used to to do 1 and 2 legged tippy toes until failure ( my goal is to be able to jump up to around a roof top) recently i stopped, i started using weights did a bunch of running and core exercises but then i got shin splints 1st time i felt i said what the hell is that. Now i know to keep doing them thank you !

Ballet dancer here. I’ve been sidelined from jumping due to shin splints. I’ve suffered from them since childhood and was never able to run track in school because of them. They’ve gotten worse in the past few months when I try to jump in ballet class. Not from the impact, but from the pushing off from the floor to initiate the jumps. My tibias have also been slightly tender when pressed on. I’m hoping it’s just inflammation of the soft tissue and not stress fractures. I’m pretty sure standing for hours on end at my job is to blame for them getting worse. I already knew about the calf rises from ballet. The Australian ballet and Royal Ballet do 16 calf rises on each leg at the end of each company class to help reduce injuries. I’m definitely gonna try the thera-band exercise.

how are the shins now ? did this work for you ?

the heel walk worked for me. very simple do it with the little toes (outside) pulled up, then middle pulled up, then big toes (inside) pulled up. You don't have to walk you can march in place while brushing your teeth or doing dishes, even standing in a line at the grocery store. If your shin splints are bad you'll want to hold on to a counter or something else until the strength is built up

Thank you sir!
