One of the best ways to stretch the shin and quadricep muscles is to lean against a wall while grabbing the top of your affected leg. To effectively stretch the shin, make an effort to pull on the top of the foot. Here is a picture of this stretch:
When stretching, make sure that you don't pull too hard because this lead to further problems with your quads and shins. You should only feel a light pull. Additionally, make sure that you hold the stretch long enough to really loosen the muscle. I recommended holding the stretch for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds, then hold for an additional 30 seconds.
