The pain in my shins is chronic (have had it for years now) and I'd really like to know how to tape the top of the shin bone as well? Or will taping the bottom like this also help the pain at the top of the shins?
i only had one but the leg i had it on didnt hurt as much as the one without. at the end of the 12 min run the leg without the band was in pain but the one with band only had a slight discomfort. highly recommend it. i now run with 2.
@jnewk001 Our experience- it has been VERY effective and as you may know there really aren't any great solution for shin splints. KT Tape is highly effective at preventing and treating overuse injuries like shin splints. It effectively helps 'load bear' to reduce the direct impact to the area of pain and to provide support by holding the fascia and bone together to prevent further micro tears in the muscle from occurring or getting worse.
Not a big fan of this based on the fact that the first piece of tape places her foot in a inverted position which could increase the likely hood of inversion ankle sprains.
