Aloha what do u think about compression gear, like legs and arm compression gear
i have anterior shin splints and the muscle is flexed all the time without me flexing it I’ve tried numerous stretches do you have any advice
I’ve always had this sort of pain before, but once I started running with a weighted vest it got like 6x worst. Now it’s just horrible, I have to stretch before and after, put ice on my legs, and rest 1 day in between exercises (plus no more weighted vest). When the pain started, I had to rest with ice packs for two weeks. It SUCKS, it’s like I’m starting from scratch but with bone pain instead of muscle pain.

Hello Dr Jo i got these shin splints after doing 50 jumping jacks and running on the spot for a minute or so, i get very little exercise ( starting now) and haven’t for a few years, is that somewhat normal, simply using muscles i havent used in a while, and in your opinion will it get better the more i exercise/ use them?, I wouldnt think 50 jumping jacks would cause shin splints unless its because im out of shape.

I have rest for about a month and completed the strengthening exercise for about 2 weeks. I have started with a light jog and today was my 5th day. At times I have twitching paining but not really painful like before. Do you think I should continue jogging or should I take a break and continue with strengthening exercises. Please advise.
Thanks so much. I turn to your videos when I have a problem. When I put my foot on a chair and try to stretch my right leg, I’m getting a lot of pain at the right side of my shin, around knee and right side of thigh. I have recently had a pneumonia vaccine and an hour and half later my right leg was muscle bound. Haven’t been able to sleep without pain killers since March 26th. During day, I can get around but at night the pain in my shin, ankle and sometimes it goes high is excruciating. I was tangoing March 20th and felt a pain in my lower right back (as I often do and go to my chiropractor and get fixed). This time it was a feeling of nerve and muscle pain. Not a shooting pain like sciatica. Exray report is things a bit out of wack down there. So it’s not a shin splint…anyway, I’m trying to stretch the leg and hip to release anything that might be crunched.
“Prevention methods studied were shock-absorbent insoles, foam heel pads, Achilles tendon stretching, footwear, and graduated running programs. No statistically significant results were noted for any of the prevention methods. Stretching of the lower leg musculature has been consistently proven to not prevent MTSS.”

My pain is on the medial side, is this still a shin splint? It acts up as I’m running and after, it has come and gone pretty quickly, but tonight it was really bad, couldn’t finish my run and had to limp home. I took an ibuprofen and acetaminophen, now I’m wondering when it will be safe to go back to running. I am training for a 10k. Just a personal goal. But haven’t done any exercise in literal years so that’s why I’m guessing I got this injury. I’ve never had this pain before from running. Guess I’m getting old now
Thank you so much instant relief. I can’t believe it. You saved me time and money going to a doctor. And valuable knowledge I can pay forward.
Hello Dr, i have little swelling and dents in anterior tibia bone when touched, before that i have stress fracture later it healed and my mri report it shows normal and no sign of stress fracture,still dents are not healed????

You do not need to replace your shoes every 6 months. That is ludicrous.
I’ve just started running and my shins are hurting, how often do you reccomend doing this? And should I give running a rest until my shins are back to normal?
Thank you so much! I had a stress fracture 6 weeks ago and will do these to prevent another injury

i recently stated boot camp (exercising) 3 1/2 wks ago for the main purpose of becoming fit, tone and stronger while still maintaining my curves. however whenever I have to jog or run, my foot hurts in the same area you were showing in the vid, when I ask my PT if it is normal he said yes, if you are not use to walking, jogging or running often. Is this true? I do sit a lot during the day.
I’ve suffered for ages for shin splints and only been able to run 2-3 miles at a time then have to rest a full week before I can go again.
After doing these stretches for only one week I have made such an improvement in distance and length of time I can run.

Experience daily discomfort and pain from tibia muscles. I practice 5hours golf 6 days a week….I walk a lot. Only left leg….outside muscle….not like shins…..that seems inside. Why left leg only suffer is because golfswing is all about weight shift….from right leg to left. So left leg endure 50% more tension and stress.
Need help on straight out my knee so I can walk around better
Hi Docotor,
Can shin splints cause knee pain and knee tendonitis? I cant find the real cause of my knee pain and the scans are ok. I have tried to find a connection or cases that links shin splints to knee pain on the internet, but could not find any..
LOL, Love your living room. Great stretch for people at home to do for shin splints. I like roller, it seems more comfortable than a typical hard foam roller.
Shin splints got me out of doing the mile run a few times in high school.
I use to play football and I started experiencing this shin splint pain since 2017. It always disturb me during my walking, running and the course of the game.

Please help! Every time I point my toes I get a huge cramp/spasm in my big toe and it is so painful. It can last for up to 2.5 mins. These stretches help so much, but am I overdoing it?
So when I was in high school and first started track my shins would hurt so bad it felt like the bones would break from doing a light jog at warm ups. I had bumps all along both shins and it hurt to the point that even getting up in the morning hurt. Now I’m a junior in college and I still have the bumps on my shins even though I haven’t actually ran since high school. What do you think I should do?

i made a video about the best shoes to cure shin splints (nike vomero 12)
Hi doctor jo! I love your videos. I suffer from shin splints after about a week of running. The pain is usually on the inside of my shins and wont normally go away until I stop running for a week. I found some very supportive shoes that has prevented the pain from recurring. My concern is that I am gearing up to leave for bootcamp. From my understanding, the shoes they provide arnt the best. I was wondering if there are any stretches or strengthening exercises I can do without equipment to prepare my shins for almost anything. Please and thank you!
thank you so much i’m a basketball player and i get shin splints in both shins very badly to the point where i have to sit out and now i’m doing these stretches and it’s helping me so much i couldn’t be more grateful

What if the heel wants to push outward when you do the sitting stretch? And would you still recommend working out with shin splints? It started with running and I’ve cut back and started walking creating intensity with my elevations instead.

Top notch instruction as always Doc J, but I thought we were done with the creepy “chuckle” cat. Stick with the hounds DOC!!!
I’ve put on a bit of weight recently and when I try to exercise I get severe shin splints, so I stop. Gonna give this a try.
I find that doing these stretches really stretch/hurt like right above my foot, where my foot connects to my shin, so to speak. Is that the place I should feel it or?
i run with only wearing socks at home in a treadmill and now i think that’s the reason why i have shin splints
I have a stress fracture in both of my shins will sleeve compression help me I am going to rest my shins for about 6 months walking everyday I do have a very physical job too I work on the railway heavy boots and overalls moving a lot carrying heavy gear.
I love your videos Dr Jo. I’m recovering from a motorcycle accident where my tibia and fibula were severely broken. A rod was inserted in my tibia and now I’m working on rehabilitating from drop foot. I’ve been in a wheelchair for 15 months and I’m excited to start walking with help from You and PT.
How do you know what kind of shoe is the best for that? I run on sidewalk/roads and the pain is crazy. I cant run for days in a row, I can only run one or two days and then I need to take a break and it’s super discouraging.
could it be that the bone has to be stronger when you run? does it get stronger over time? I think I read online that the bone will bend a little when you run so has to get stronger before shin splints stop but there can still be other things that causes shin splints when you first start. do you know anything about that?

This video has been so helpful to me, thank you, you are so cool!
I’m about to leave for Air Force basic training on August 14th…I’m definitely not a runner… I can go for about 5 mins before I need to walk. Not so much because of my cardio but because my legs get tired/weak. At basic training they want everyone to be able to run/jog for 26 mins straight… LOTS of people get shin splints… I’ve never got them because I haven’t been consistent with my running… I’m pretty worried in getting shin splints:( I have really comfortable custom running shoes with custom insoles I’m hoping that will really help… would you recommend me wearing compression socks to help to prevent shin splints? I’m not even sure if we can wear compression socks at basic… I’m really worried �� any advice would be great! I definitely will do these stretches!
anyone else notice the random ass dog at the beginning of the vid?
Im a runner but today I went for a run with trainers with basic soles and my legs feel mashed around the shins and knees….moral of the story….RUNNING TRAINERS ARE NEEDED 100%
i got a onewheel and im 48 and it make all that hurt so bad….thanks im on the floor now…..my heros
is it possible to get shin splints if you are exercising barefoot?..I never get them barefoot, only when I wear shoes.
Hey, just wondering because I feel my condition of shin splints are a bit extreme, or even beyond that.
So I had shin splints since a year ago but I was never really running. I know it was shin splints because the pain always occurred on the crural side of my shin.
After Christmas day, the shin splints automatically went away.. its weird tbh but it was a Christmas miracle I guess.
Anyhow this year I got into cross country and I was running a lot, but in shoes that were made for court sports such as handball. I didn’t begin getting pain until I was hanging out with some of my team members over the summer by playing soccer. They kicked the ball directly into the spot where I always got the pain and somehow I felt a slight trigger of that familiar pain I used to have. No bones were fractured, but I don’t know if this could have caused the shin splints to come back, which it seems like it did. This happened somewhere in late August.
After this, my shin splints have been worsening and I have actually been pushing myself through it up to this day now as we speak. The pain isn’t usually there until I slow down from my race pace to my jogging pace. Once I stop running in general, the pain will spark up and elevate to an extreme state where I will remain in agony for about 10 minutes at most.
Anyhow, sorry I’m giving you this much to read, but I’m really hoping you’ll respond to this as I have spent a lot of time typing this up for you to give your answer.
My question is, with all these tips that you have given within the video, do you think it’s not too late for my shin splints to go away?
Could shin splints become permanent due to the time of dealing with them or no?
Just wondering since the pain I have to go through every day just from doing something I enjoy is a real turn off for me. However when I see your videos with you running, it sort of keeps me motivated since you seem to be an amazing runner.
Hope you respond when you can.
Thanks:D
Stupid shin splints popped out of nowhere smh, now I can’t enjoy running the mile
Im a volleyball player and i have got shin splints. I have most likely got it because of the landings after i jump and spike. It is very difficult to stop playing in the middle of a important season. I would really appreciate if someone could give me some advice.
Hello!
I have shin splints because of jumping rope (lot of mistakes)
I’m working on them and feel little bit better
When should i start jumping again?
Don’t tell me that i should never jump again:(
Because i found a lot of fun by jumping rope, but by my mistake, a lot of pain
What are shin splits? “I have no idea and no one else has an idea” amazing into I enjoyed it lol 0:10
This one doctor says the best shoes to wear is the ones with the individual toes. Because it allows your foot to stretch and adjust naturally. Also, it doesn’t matter what type of surface you run on because shin splints happen when your arch over stretches on impact, which stretches out some ligaments or tendons that are in your lower leg. And the way to prevent them from over stretching is by strengthening your muscles and stuff in your foot and calf. Arch support insoles are the worst because it weakens your foot. Like a crutch, if you use crutches every time you walk it’s going to make your legs weak.
Seems to be a fix / patch up the problem in this comment section, I tried all this rolling bs, stretching and new shoes all was shite. I had them for 14 months spent 300 odd pounds on new protective shoes, nope did not help if you have a smiller case try this. 1rest, rest till if you push deep into the pain site there is 0 discomfort ache, pain, swelling all gone this took me a long time about 8 months, don’t know why just did.2 while you are resting analyze what the problem is weak arch for me and a body imbalance from a twisted spine. 3 find solutions for me trial and error was the name of the game still I was given a book about bare foot running. I gave it a go along side strength exes, small amounts of stretching, bare foot running strengthens your foot alot fix my falling arch very fast. 4 build up, I started walking then w/ running, then just running and now I’m here it sounds easy but if you’re like me it’s the hardest part. 5 prevention is everything, keep preventing all the time Ice cool down, cold showers, str exs, change terrain and tempo, objectives, gradients, I run 6 times a week plus curcuts and bleep test, how I change all the variables each session if on Mon I do a long run, and a. 3 miler the next a circuit and a bleep test both on grass, and so o 6 Be very patient it s the bugger waiting and waiting, and it will come back again but promise you’re self it will be stronger each month.I remember I got a wrist injury from gym, thought it would never heal ever 2 years later with no assistance problems at all. Hope this helped.
Not gonna lie, was a bit skeptical when I first this suggested video on YouTube. Very informative and helpful. You my friend, now have yourself a new subscriber. Look forward to more running tips.
Would these stretches and strengthening moves aid the gastrocnemius and peroneal type strain?
I’ve taken up running again at 37.
Never had an injury or pain when younger.Heres what I’ve had so far in order.
1.Ingrown toenail
2.Sore knees
3.Sore everything in legs
4.Tight calf’s
5.SHIN SPLINTS
But my fitness away from cycling and weight loss has been excellent,I feel great.I am still getting shin splint pain when using a rubber running track.
Better shoes needed I think.����
Okay surprisingly I got them in marching band last year. Out of all things. I think it was my shoes now. Went through all of marching band that year with them and that was a really dumb decision
Ok i dont have pain in front or on the insides of my shin but there is pain on the outer side. Its right in the middle between the ankle and knee. I see a lot of videos only talking about the front of the shin and the inward facing side but nothing really talking about the outer facing side.
Do you have strengthening and prevention exercises for posterior shin splints?
Shin splints are caused by inflammation of the muscle, tendons and bone fascia by doing too much too soon or changing your routine. They can also be caused by micro fractures in the bone. Strengthening and stretching your calves and shin muscles will help to absorb the impact when running, along with good shoes and form.
I cannot wait to try this once I get home. Should I be doing this every day?

My shins hurt so badly that walking every day hurts my shins but this happened last year it lasted for about 2-3 months of horrible pain. I’m over weight but not noticeable and I’m really tall. My shins hurt badly when I do pe and I do a cardio activity every Wednesday that is a intense work out at school. I cry barely walking up and down the stairs, what should I do because the pain hurts soooo much. And my parents think it’s a minor problem and I haven’t been to the doctor for anything. What should I do???
I lost 60 pounds in 2014 by running 10 miles every day, but I gained it all back when I was preparing for university entrance exams, and now I am trying to lose it again. but the problem is that I developed shin splints when I started running again for a month so went to the doctor who performed blood tests and told me that I have vitamin D deficiency. so I sat under the sun 1 month 1 hour every day and took the medicines that he gave me and started cycling for a week but still the shin splints still developed. They got so bad that i couldn’t sleep due to pain. I want to lose weight and I have the motivation to do it again, but my feet doesn’t obey me and I am depressed can somebody please help me.
Being able to play football (soccer) literally saves my life and helps me get out of my life for a few hours and gives me something to take my mind off of troubles I’m having. I eat, drink and sleep football so when my shins started acting up and wouldn’t go away I knew what it was and it fucking killed me inside because I wasn’t confident with managing said injury but this video will hopefully help a Lot. Thank you for uploading. Any other tips from anyone else who’s struggled with splints before feel free to chime in as I could use all the help I can get
1. Shoesinsoles, new
2. Terrainsoft, no concrete, grass good
3. Warm-up before hand, walk and stretch especially calves
4. If pain stop and stretch/walk
5. Gait, shorter and lower when running
Doing a standing calf stretch was was hurt me to begin with. So no thanks on this one

Thanks v much for this I have been doing the limber 11 and workouts 3 times a week I had plantar fasciitis (recovered now thanks to stretches) and also mortons in both feet largely due to excess weight I am now in process of losing with an online trainer guy and 3 workouts a weeks bodyweight resistance my issue is that I recently went to a trampoline park with 2 young relatives age 9 and 7 and was ok for a while jumping after my morning workoutthen I got a pain in my right shin and my right side generally felt a little painful but not terrible. I am a lot stronger than I was, and building up every week gradually My training is generally good. I am 55 and mildly hypermobile and dyspraxic so I have some muscle tone issuesbut I am getting there! I love how you have the exact same colour ball and a guitar in your picturepretty much my living room too! Thanks again:)
Doc could you please help me out what stretch should I do for my calf bone and the bone!!
im a 23 yr old fairly fit hiker… love it, been doing it for years, 5 months ago i even went to new zealand for a walking holiday… but with 2 weeks left before coming home, the dumbest thing of the trip happened, i lost my glasses and miss judge the height of a top bunk… i fell 6 feet shin first onto a table edge, one massive yellow lump, skin tear and 5 days on my arse later, and im back doing a 15k bush trail… but as i said its almost 6 months later… and im getting shin splints on the leg (not even walking that far really) i have a slight scar on the skin tear still however, anybody got any tips? should i even bother seeing my doctor about this? any advice is much apreciated.
Insoles is a great idea. Never actually thought of that. Thanks.
Can you be born with it? What would that be called. Nothing to really do with running i guess, but ive come to realise that one of my shin goes out more than the other one. Would this help too?
What has and is working for me is doing a workout just balancing on one leg (this will work muscles in your feet that you never use), increasing mileage slowly, and using a stick after runs. This is coming from a guy that would get shin splints after a mile of running.

Your shoes lasted SIX MONTHS?!?! Mine last two if I’m lucky!!!
I had serious pain in my shins and i stoped from workout for about 3 weeks and i used some gel for cooling the muscles
Now i still feel them but just sometimes (at work, when walking…)
But now when i start my workout (jumping rope) i feel them less (when muscles gets warmed up)
Is that small pain common or it is warning?
Maybe i have to go through it.
I mean, should i wait more or i can workout normally
Btw nice video!:)
this doesn’t help when at XC practice you run on pavement this is pointless
How long should you wait to run again if you have shin splints? It’s mainly my left shin but I’ll eventually get pain in my right maybe after 1-2 miles. I’m just realizing my love for running and I’d hate to not be able to do it. I know to rest and not overdo it as well. I’ve been working out for 15 years but I’d love to incorporate running into my routine a lot more.

It is a great exclusive guide for getting rid of shin splints without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbor got amazing success with it.
I can’t point my toes or sit in “hero” pose in yoga. (It hurts my knees as well as my feet). Whenever i point my toes I get cramps immediately in my foot. My feet don’t seem able to go backwards like trying to sit on my heels with my toes flat. What would I need to stretch to increase my flexibility and be able to do this pose.
I just started running daily and oh my good ness the first day was great I ran 3 miles no problem, 2nd day in I ran 3 miles but like 10 mins quicker, at that point I was at 35ish minutes for 3 miles, and then the 3rd day in I got this pain in my leg and now I can’t run as much and it takes me almost exactly one hour to do 3 miles. This makes me wanna quit but I can’t stop running cause I need it to pass my summer school PE class. And I can’t find anything that works I have one week left to go and I really hope this video helps me
Good basic tips for runners, very poor tips for shin splint sufferers. Shin splints are typically caused by muscle stress along the tibia. As you perform activities like running, walking, etc. these muscles are tightening as they contract. To alleviate tight muscles, they need to be stretched. The best way to alleviate shin splints is to stretch not only the calf muscles but the posterior and anterior calf muscles….here’s how: lean against a wall with one or both legs straight as you would normally stretch your calf, now slowly bend at the knee. As you bend your knee you will feel the muscles in the front of your shin stretch. Do this regularly and your shin splints will disappear and you will wish you knew this sooner!
Stop heel strikes; start ball strikes. No splints. Use five fingers.
