Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)

A pulling pain along the shin while running? Shin splints are a typical overuse issue—and very manageable.

With medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), the tissue along the inner edge of the shin becomes irritated due to overuse. It often occurs in runners and after increasing training too quickly. The symptoms are unpleasant, but they are very treatable with adjusted load and targeted training.

A pulling or burning pain along the inner edge of the shin—initially at the start of activity, later also during and after running. The tissue is tender to pressure.

Increasing training too quickly, hard surfaces, unsuitable footwear, muscular imbalances, and inefficient running technique.

Through a movement analysis, including a running analysis, we identify the cause—often training errors and technique. We adjust your load, reduce irritation with manual therapy, and build the resilience of your lower leg and foot with targeted evidence-based training.
