very helpful. I had shin splints two months ago, and lasted 5 weeks. I learned about the various standing remedy stretches, but not the ones while laying down. I shall engage with these immediately! i need to get a mat like yours, it seems to take up the whole room.
Love this! I had shin splints years ago when I started running. The cause... buying running shoes from Kohls! 😂I was fitted at a running store after that and haven't had an issue since!
Thank you Sandy so much for making this video! All strength exercises, especially ones for core, are super useful. I really hope I get rid of stiffness in my knees during running one day.
Thank you for sharing this, definitely does help to do before or after my run. This is a lot better than having to pay $100’s for monthly Pilates classes.
Dear Coach, thank you for your videos. Zero-drop shoes like Altra or high drop shoes like 10mm...which is better to prevent and then to treat a calf strain injury? Thank you. 👟
For prevention, that's going to be an individual thing and I can see why some would think zero drop shoes and others may think higher drop shoes. One could also argue that prevention is more about strength and training that about shoes. (My mind always goes down multiple paths for questions like this.) Personally, I like to mix it up and a lot of the Topo Athletic shoes I run in are 5mm. I do think that most people would benefit from at least walking around in 0 drop shoes (as long as they're not currently in pain). When someone is currently treating a calf strain, I would suggest starting off with a shoe 5mm or higher. Then if someone can get to 0 pain, does the strength work and wants to work their way back down to 0 drop shoes, they can.
Thank you so much for this. I just have a question, does the kind of shoes affect injury risk? I have shoes for overpronation but after doing the water test (where I step on paper with wet feet) I found out that my feet are actually neutral… What happens if a neutral runner keeps running in shoes made for overpronation?
Good video. My PTs office just told me that because I hadn't been there for 30 days I need a new referral, that it will take a minimum of 5 weeks to get in, and my regular PT may not accept me as a "new" patient. Needless to say I'm looking up all kinds of info on my Achilles pain (since my October marathon) on RUclips.
That's really frustrating. I'm all for seeing someone in person, but if it's going to take 5 weeks, I looked over Exakt Health's protocol for Achilles injuries and I think it's pretty good. They have a different protocol for insertional and mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy which is great because I know not everyone realizes that they should be treated differently. I personally know how frustrating an Achilles injury, so I'm wishing you the best!
My younger years I’ve had Osgood Schlatter disease, shin splints. My mid 30s I dealt with plantar foot fasciitis. muscle cramps in my calves. recovery can be tuff.
@@RunningWildSandi Everything that I’ve been watching is key to recovery. Now that I'm in my 40s it feels like I'm learning how to run all over again. I know I’ll never be as fast as I was or run Long distances like I use to. But I'm ok with that! Thanks Coach!
Any advice for plantar fasciitis? Ive basically quit running cold turkey for the past several weeks. I’m doing stretches every morning before I even get out of bed. It helps but I dont know that I’m actually getting any better.

Have you tried using a rolling pin to roll leg muscles?

Wow thanks! I'll look the protocols up specifically and see if it is similar to what I've found and been doing so far.

Agreed! I hope you're doing better now or this vidoe helps you get better.

I got shinsplints and then tried to adapt my style and run through them and ended up tearing my calf……I haven’t ran in over a year now😢
