Stretches
Shin Stretches
Shin pain is common in runners and other people who do a lot of impact, and it often comes with tight calves. Until shin-specific stretches are filmed, the calf work linked below is the place to start, along with the guided routines.
When to see a clinician. See a doctor or physical therapist if shin pain is sharp in one spot, hurts when you press on the bone, continues at rest, or keeps getting worse. These can be signs of a stress fracture.
MoveWell hasn't filmed shin-specific stretches yet. More are coming. Calf work is a common part of shin-splint care, so see the calf stretches and the calf smash in the meantime.
