Shin Splints Treatment With Massage Therapy

No matter when you're affected by shin splints, massage therapy can help. Shin splints are a common injury among runners, basketball players, hikers, tennis players and anyone that tends to walk or run for long periods of time. You may feel some soreness around your shin or notice some swelling and tenderness in your lower leg. The pain might appear during exercise, afterwards, or it might be constant. 

There are many ways that shin splints can occur for people, sometimes it is when you are starting a new exercise or sport or getting back into one that you participated in previously . Tight calves can be a cause of shin splints because they increase tension on the lower leg and feet. 

Treatment for shin splints can be uncomfortable as it will recreate the soreness you feel. Through stretching and deep tissue massage we can break up the adhesions and help realign the tissues in the lower leg to get your shins feeling good as new. 

Getting you back to the activities you love and enjoying them pain free is our goal at Athletic Kneads. Book in with us today to get back in the game with massage therapy.
