What Are Shin Splints?

Shin splints massage works by reducing inflammation in the connective tissues around the tibia. Shin splints and treatment plans often include rest, a calf release tool, and physical therapy massage tools. A common symptom of shin splints includes mild swelling, tenderness, and shin pain that worsens with high-impact exercise or normal activities like walking or standing for extended periods.

What Causes Shin Splints?

Understanding what causes shin splints is essential for prevention and healing. They’re commonly triggered by:

• Excessive pronation
• Wearing worn-out or unsupportive shoes or poor footwear
• Rapid increases in your exercise routine or activity level
• Running on uneven terrain or engaging in impact activities
• Weak or tight calf muscles

Wearing supportive shoes, athletic shoes, or proper running shoes with shock-absorbing insoles, along with using orthotic devices or arch supports, can help prevent shin splints.

How to Use the Shin Massage Tool

Our shin massage tool offers targeted pressure relief to accelerate healing. Here's how to use it effectively:

1. Place the short edge of the tool under your shin.
2. Add a towel or cloth for cushioning.
3. Move your ankle to stretch shin splints-affected tissues.
4. Gently rock side-to-side to reach deep muscle compartments.

The innovative design allows the tool to be used on all myofascial regions of the body that can succumb to tightness and pain.
