Recently I got rid of my shin splints! Nothing worked til I found 2 methods.One was kinda like 1:48 but instead pull ur toes toward urself as hard as u can for 1 minute,which strengths ur shin muscles.The other was get a rolling pan like thing, anything cylinder works and like your rolling dough, just roll it where ur shins hurt.Start off easy until ur putting an alright amount of pressure.It sucks i know but helps.Try these methods together.Trust me when I say this.IVE ACTUALLY HAD SHIN SPLINTS
