Well after the last post i made on asking you guys if you found any methods of helping ease the tightness of shin splints, I have found one that sems to work.....
Tapping your toes!!!!!
(heels down)
I was practising rudiments, while tapping my toes and began to notice that as the muscle running parrallel with wit the tibia began to ache, the tightness on my shins inflicted earlier while skipping began to wear off. It was only temporary, but then later I did about 10 mins of tapping my toes in the same way and now I can run and skip without getting shin splints as quickly.....
Try it, don't knock it before you do so.....
Hope this helps
