Shin Splint Prevention

Shin Splints is a generic term that can describe a number of injuries–for example, medial tibial stress syndrome, stress reaction, tendinitis–and structures–like posterior or anterior tibialis, tibia, periosteum, fascia, and even nerves.

While shin splints are often due to training errors (running too much or too fast without sufficient running base), sometimes it is due to weakness or inflexibility.
