The Shin Splint Manual: Relief and Protection

by Patrick Hafner

Shin splints. Do you wince upon simply hearing the term? It's understandable if you do. Shin splints can affect a whole range of crucial tissues in your lower leg, one at a time or all at once. The pain can hit you merely as a persistent annoyance. Or it can knock you completely off your feet and your routine completely off track. Shin splints are one of the most prevalent injuries afflicting runners, endurance buffs, and high-motion athletes. If the condition is not addressed and is allowed to settle in, shin splint soreness can stick around for a long time. And you'll know it. Getting shin splints to disappear can often prove difficult. You perhaps jump back in too soon, and the injury flares back. You use your legs in daily life, which complicates rest and recovery. Or you try recuperation methods that are too aggressive, and the shin splints worsen. Healing from shin splints is rarely easy. However, the speed at which you recover depends mostly on what you do to rectify the condition of your injured shins. You don’t want to overdo it, but you shouldn’t do too little, either. Have you had enough of the hobbling pain, the lingering tenderness, and the thwarted attempts at resuming your normal activities? Then you've come to the right place. The easy-to-follow steps contained here will both help you alleviate shin splint pain and enable you to prevent its recurrence. Put The Shin Splint Manual to work for you, and get your healthy legs and lifestyle back.
