💥Anterior Tibialis Pain (Front of the shin)
👉 Pain on the front/lateral part of your shin
👉 More of a muscle/tendon issue
👉 Comes from overworking the anterior tibialis (lifting your foot, controlling foot strike)

What it feels like:

* More localized or tight feeling
* Often shows up with walking, running, or uphill work
* Can feel like your shin muscles are burning or overworked

Difference between Posterior Tib and Anterior Tib shin splint 👇

* MTSS = bone + load problem (inside of shin)
* Anterior tib = muscle overload (front of shin)

The treatment varies between the 2 different types of shin splints!! DM me for more info! Let me see how I can help you!!

🚨Heads up Runners 🏃‍♀️ 🚨
Hip Strength Progressions

Due to a poor mechanical advantage, the hip muscles are often over worked or under developed. This can result in hip or knee pain while running or exercising.

Please plan on doing these exercises 1-2 times per day, everyday. There will be a time to pull back on the frequency, but for now… do them!
🎯banded clamshells
Progression- banded clam with a plank
🎯 side plank
Progression- side plank with a lift
🎯curtsy lunge
Progression- add resistance: Kettlebell or dumbbell
🎯banded lateral walk
Progression- stiff leg versus bent knee, band around ankle versus band around toes
🎯 Hip Thrusts
Progression- single leg, add resistance

Do these 2 times per day!

That counterforce brace?
👉 It can help reduce strain on the tendon
👉 It’s a tool — not the fix

The real change 👇
Stop loading the elbow with your palm down all day.

➡️ Try lifting, gripping, and training with your palm up
➡️ You shift the load away from the irritated tissue
➡️ You give it a chance to calm down while still staying active

You don’t need to stop using your arm…
You need to use it better

How do you get tennis elbow and you don’t play tennis 🎾💪?
It is called lateral epicondylitis and it starts by lifting with your palm facing down! Sometimes using tools or lifting too much too soon can aggravate it too!
The pain can be assessed by testing the muscles at your wrist… this video shows 2 simple tests to rule in tennis elbow!
If you have pain at your elbow… give these 2 stretches a shot!

If your shin splint symptoms are driven by how load is being distributed through your foot and leg, a temporary orthotic can help reduce stress on irritated tissues while you build capacity.

👣 Low profile → for mild support and subtle changes
👣 Higher arch support → for more aggressive unloading when running.

You shouldn’t have to “get used to them.”
They should feel right immediately.

Let me know if you need some help!

Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) are almost always a volume vs. capacity issue—not just over pronation.

Here I’m showing a taping technique that can help offload the area and calm symptoms in the short term.

👉 Use this if:
• Pain is flared up during or after runs
• You need support to keep training with less irritation

If this has been lingering, you need to reduce the stress on the tissue while you build it back up.

That may include:
✔️ Temporary orthotic support
✔️ Smarter progression in training
✔️ Strength work for the lower leg

Taping = symptom management
Orthotic = longer lasting management
💥Progressive loading = actual fix

If you’ve been dealing with shin splints that won’t go away, it’s time to address the root problem.

Orthotics aren’t forever.

They’re a tool to calm things down—not something you should rely on for life.

If you “need time to get used to them”… that’s a red flag.
The right orthotic should feel right immediately.

Use them to reduce irritation.
But don’t forget—the goal is to build a body that doesn’t depend on them.

Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) aren’t just a “pronation problem.”

They’re a load vs. capacity problem.

If you are a runner getting ready for your “A” race and have this pain, do these things for me:
* Don’t do plyometrics
* Don’t do speed work
* come and see me

The tissue is overloaded and needs to settle down!

If you’re dealing with shin pain and want a clear plan to fix it, not just rest it, send me a message.

💥 Run Injuries 💥
Are you 2-4 weeks out of your big race of the year with an injury?
You are not alone! There has been an influx of last minute injuries coming in as people are getting ready to run Revel Mt. Charleston and Boston!
Here are my observations of the cause of these injuries in the final month of training:
1️⃣- Speed work. Speed training or hitting threshold speeds in the last month will put you at risk for an injury. Especially if you have a nagging overuse injury already. Run at tempo speeds.
2️⃣-Not doing your strength training and mobility work. You should not be doing personal bests with squats and deadlifts right now, but strengthening muscles that you rely on to get you to the end of 26.2 miles need you!
3️⃣- Sleep and nutrition! Don’t give in to carbo loading 1 month out and jack up your stomach! Rest up and sleep. Sleep is the number one “hack” to help prevent injuries!
If you are hurt or feel like an injury is creeping up on you, don’t hesitate! Get in and see me!
