Shin splints are one of the most common overuse injuries affecting runners, walkers and active individuals, yet persistent symptoms are often the result of predictable patterns of mechanical dysfunction that have never been fully addressed. Understanding and correcting these underlying patterns is the key to achieving lasting clinical results.
This Corrective Manual Therapy micro module provides a focused, practical approach to assessing and treating shin splints. You’ll learn the relevant anatomy, accurate assessment techniques, an effective treatment sequence, and practical home-retraining strategies that help patients maintain the improvements achieved during treatment and support lasting results.

In this presentation, we demonstrate the predictable patterns of muscle imbalance at the heart of this painful condition. Through observation and muscle resistance testing the nature of the condition can be quickly identified. A treatment plan is then formulated and applied to address the underlying cause as well as treat the specific nature of the client’s symptoms. Then simple, targeted home retraining is demonstrated to maintain the benefits of treatment.
There are multiple conditions that can cause Shin Splints symptoms, such as, tibial stress syndrome (periostitis of the medial margin of the tibia), a stress fracture or posterior deep muscle compartment syndrome. However, in the majority of cases, this common overuse condition is the result of a Dynamic Compartment Syndrome, brought about by a predictable pattern of muscle imbalance in the lower leg.
In this presentation we demonstrate practical steps for getting to the heart of this painful condition, and achieving lasting resolution of symptoms.
