Lots of clinicians struggle to get good results for runners with shin pain. One study found it took over 100 days to build to just 20 minutes of running! This is because the common approach that works well in many running injuries doesn’t work for common causes of shin pain.

We’ve seen this in our case study that we’ve followed through our shin pain series – the problem hasn’t improved in 2 years with multiple therapists.

So what does work then?… Find out in Part 3 of our Solving Shin Pain series.

In this final part of the series we’ll cover how to get great results in the 3 most common causes of shin pain in runners, including:

  • How treatment of bone stress injuries and MTSS is different from other conditions
  • Load management to reduce pain
  • Exercise prescription that will address rehab needs
  • How to develop a bone loading programme
  • Shoe selection for shin pain
  • Gait re-training options
  • The role of massage and taping

We’ll also continue the story of our runner with shin pain, how we treated him and what the final outcome was…

**Plot twist** he chose an ambitious new goal halfway through treatment!…
