Performing shin splint stretches is one of the the best ways to prevent and cure the shin splint injury. One of the shin splint stretches is to lean against a wall while grabbing the top of your affected leg. To make this an effective shin splint stretch, make an effort to pull on the top of the foot. Here is a picture of this stretch:
When performing this shin splint stretch, or any other shin splint stretches, 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.
