Some basic infor really.
I know what they are and the main symptoms etc. I've been doing a lot of road running so could have shin splints - which is a bastard. I had Osgood Schlatters about 18months ago, it wasn't funny and don't desperately want to repeat them.
How long does/will it take for it to correct itself? I've heard rest is all that I can do? I was crap at rest while I had Schlatters :mad: :rolleyes:
My body is frail

Yeah so was I, in fact I don't remember ever not playing footy in favour of rest, but they did clear off so I got lucky You'll have to rest this time though ego, my mate got them and had to concede defeat eventually.
To avoid getting shin splints the correct strech is the back of the calf? correct...??
standing both feet pointing foward, one in front of you and one behind, lean down on the front leg keeping the back leg heel to the floor. 5 - 10 second streches on each leg.
How many repitions?
Is this just at begining and end of exercise, or during aswell?
Are there better ways of warding off the evil?
Hoping some-one can confirm this or deny it with correct answers
