Shin splints are the bane of many athletes, whether they re runners or just forced into running for conditioning (ahem, football players). But fear no more, there are many steps you can take to relieve the painâÂÂor prevent it entirely.
According to Dr. Matt Stevens, physical therapist and owner of Pure Physio (Strongsville, Ohio), shin splints are typically a compression injury to the shin bone. Shin splints can stem from poor footwear, inefficient running style, insufficient warm-up, muscle imbalances, overuse and fatigue, to name a few.
