You can foam roll shin splints??? I've been reading up on at as I'm battling some IT band pain in my knee. Sounds like it could be painful for major muscles. Can't see rolling on my shins and it not being very painful.




Indeed, sir. Hands on ground underneath shoulders, position leg so that anterior tibialis is on the roller, then cross your other leg onto your calf. I start at the top and roll down and back up 10 times. Pain gets really bad at about the 4th or 5th roll, then eases towards the 10th.

It hurts like a mofo, but helps a shite load.

ETA: several videos on the you tubes.

Stretch your calves. Soleus and gastroc muscles. Google it.

Weight with belt as strap. Lift with toe. Flex front of calf while sitting in recliner. Ice, lots of ice.

I'm just really confused as to why an NCAA runner is consulting TD instead of his coach or team physician or athletic trainer or even a sport specific message board.
