When viewing this video please take careful note of the action: It is not a calf raise per se. It is intended to exercise the tibialis posterior which acts as a reverse spring for the arch of the foot and reduces stress on the foot muscles, such as the plantar fascia. It is best combined with deep tissue massage of the calf and foot. I can assure you that it does work with the majority of cases of foot pain and shin splints. If it hurts, you need to do more - not less!

@iden132 I had problems with "shin splints" in soccer. I then got into intense cycling. I had EXTREME pain. I ended up being diagnosed with popliteal artery entrapment and tibial nerve entrapment. The pain was horrific...

It took 7 years to get diagnosed. My surgeon believes this diagnosis is VERY unrecognized in elite athletes, since it is usually some type of tendon inflammation that is causing the problem. Maybe you have the same problem as I did...

I had serious problems with this. Another exercise I did for myself was to walk around with my toes pointing down hard like a ballet dancer (Dont let the wife catch you or it might give her the wrong idea!) but stopping before discomfort became pain. Worked brilliantly. Just to add that all muscle/tendon injuries should be treated like you are building muscle so a high protein diet is in order. If you dont have enough protein the muscle/tendons are slow to get stronger

PEOPLE ima tell you how i overcame tibial periostitis (shin splints). I went to a physiotherapist where she used an "ACUTOUCH"- this basically uses magnetic waves to break up the inflamed area of tissue and then told me to take a 2 week break from any impact exercise such as basketball or running. This combined with simple strength exercises like heel raises and minor one legged squats which i did every night for the two weeks, completely solved the pain i previously experienced. Consider this!!

This excersize helped me with making my arches way stronger so i can go en pointe. My ballet instructor has said i have much improvement and let me show the clas the exercersize She is very happy with my ONE WEEK improvement!

fucking useless, ive had shin splints for over a year and done calve raises regularly with perfect form and they did fuck all.

[NiceAndSmooth247]

[CrunchyTwist]

@fwickenkewn22 Right. Unless I missed it he should specify that somewhere or a lot of people will be doing themselves more harm than good.

@menintro then working on specifically posterior tibialis is now where you need to be starting.
