 Managing shin splints

By: Olivia Pernesky

What are shin splints in the first place? Shin splints are inflammation of the muscles, tendons and bone tissue around your tibia. They can be caused from a number of activities but it is all due to vigorous sports- like activities. Most commonly running. This small routine will help ease pain, move along recovery and get you moving. Ideally it would be good to do this before any type of exercising. 

Text Box: Second: Heel walking: For this you pull yourself up onto your heels and walk around on just the heels of your feet. Do not let your toes hit the ground while walking. Do this for 2-3 minutes. Text Box: First: Holding toe drag: During this stretch you keep one foot on the ground while the toes on your other foot curl behind. Hold this for 15 to 30 seconds on one foot then switch over and do the same on your other.

 

Text Box: Lastly: Kneeling stretch: This is another holding stretch. Your front foot should lay flat on the ground while only your toes on the back foot should be on the ground. Hold this for 15-30 seconds and do the same thing for the other foot. Text Box: Then after this switch onto your toes for toe walking: you lift up onto your toes and walk around on just the toes. Do not let any other part of your foot hit the ground. Do this for 2-3 minutes.

Trans Identity - O. Passmore

  The Trans Identity By: Olivia Passmore   I yearn for the days in which I will feel at one with myself. What am I to do when I cannot even look myself in the eye? How do I accept myself while knowing this is not the earthly body in which I am meant to occupy? I stare and stare and receive nothing but contempt in return. My hair is too short. Lips too pursed. Eyes too wide, cheeks too flushed, forehead too long. How am I meant to change these things in which cause me restlessness When I am stuck in a society that persecutes my very existence? I know who I am. I know what I am meant to be. So let society persecute me if I dare to destroy all that is holy and let myself be reborn. Let society scream in the name of its foreign god and strike me down with the weight of heaven. I will make peace with myself one day, And I will leave society behind me.
