Several factors try to induce laziness in our mind and body that result in stop jogging. But it is quite easy to get rid of all those laziness, and we do jog every day.

Apart from all these factors, there is one physical injury that troubles us more than all. That is SHIN SPLINTS.

What is a Shin splint?

This is the pain along the shin bone (tibia) — the large bone in the front of your lower leg.

Shin splints are common in runners, dancers, and military recruits. Shin splints often occur in athletes who have recently changed their training routines. The increased activity overworks the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue.

My personal sufferings.

I was doing jogging from the age of 15. After some years, I felt a pain in the shin bones of both legs. I was not aware of this condition. I continued with jogging. But in few months, the pain got worsen.

I feel a sharp pain in my lower leg while standing, walking, even while sitting in a chair, and all the time. I feel like I have no strength in my legs to stand and walk. I stopped Jogging for few weeks and started again. But the pain also returned immediately. It hurt more.

I was not willing to visit any hospitals. I don’t want to cure it with any medication.

I need self-recovery. So I was searching for the physical activity that helps me to recover. As usual, I made an internet search about this. But it was not helped me that much.

Finally no option for me other than consulting with a doctor. , That doctor gave me simple exercise tips to get a recovery from shin splints.

 But the doctor did not suggest me any medicine, surgeries, and treatments.

Tips To Self Recover From Shin Splints.

 1. Use the best jogging shoes.

It is important to wear the best shoes while jogging. Suppose the shoes are not strong enough to absorb shocks; the pain will be induced in your legs. Replace the shoes when it loses its sponginess in the soul.

2. Anterior Compartment Stretch.

After reaching your start line of jogging, do not start to run immediately. Before the start of jogging, do anterior compartment legs stretch for 30 seconds in each leg. Bend both knees slightly. One foot remains squarely on the ground. Keeping your toe firmly on the ground, pull the stretching leg.

3. Rotate Ankles.

The second practice is to rotate your ankles. One foot remains squarely on the ground and rotates each ankle 50 times in the right and left direction. Do not rotate fast; rotate at optimum speed.

4.Skipping (Rope Exercise).

This is the master step in recovery from shin splints. Yes, a rope exercise brings a lot of energy to your legs and neutralizes the shin pain. Do this skipping after doing anterior stretch and rotating ankles.

Do not completely bend your legs backward while jumping. Maintain a little backward bend on knees to absorb shocks while jumping. Raise and land only on toes in this position. Do not let your heels touch the ground while skipping and also on jogging. Use only toes.

 Now our body is ready for jogging. It will take only 5 minutes to do 1000 skipping. This count will produce enough warm-up to both bodies and strengthen our legs too.

I practiced only these steps before jogging. I got a great recovery from shin splints pain in a week. Real self-recovery of the body happened to me.

Now completely no shin pains in my legs, and I feel strong legs.
