Shin splints refers to a nagging and dull ache that runs along the inner shin. Although, often not serious, shin splints can lead to more serious conditions (like stress fractures) if not treated properly. This is the reason why a lot of beginner runners tend to run into this problem. The impact from running creates a lot of repeated stress on our body, and the muscles and bones require time to adapt and rebuild to become stronger. When runners increase their training too q...uickly, it can cause the muscle and bone to be mechanically overstressed leading to injury. Although shin splints are common in runners, it is also frequently found in many who engage in sports activities such as: soccer, basketball, long jump, or tennis. Make sure you progress the frequency, duration, and intensity of your activities gradually to avoid shin splints. Shin splints is a tricky condition that may linger for weeks or months. Be patient, it can take anywhere between a couple of weeks to 6 months to heal. If you have pain, stop the activity do not ignore the symptoms because the earlier you receive treatment the faster your shin splints heal!

Knee pain sucks, however, the majority of issues are due to tight muscles. Grab a roller and roll out your IT-Bands. There’s a good chance you’ll see relief if you roll once them out, once a day for 3weeks.
