 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.

Stumbling around the room I grab a few random pieces of clothing that lay in a myriad of places around the bedroom. I slowly pull on the loose shirt and jeans and make my way over to the large vanity that sits in the corner of the room. Without looking in the mirror I pull the few makeup items from their places and place them on the vanity . When I look up, I gasp in surprise as I make eye contact with a pair of bright sea-green eyes , that appear to be just as surprised as I am. Taking in the face the eyes belong to I take notice of the strong roman nose that is just slightly crooked, t he thick reddish...
