SHIN SPLINTS WRAP

The formal reference for shin splints is medial tibial stress syndrome. Constant tension damages the inner (medial) section of the lower leg (tibia). A shin splints injury frequents an individual who overworks their legs (ex. runners and gymnasts). Protracted tension provokes overworked legs. Pain in the inner portion of the lower leg is aggravated by running or weight-enduring workouts.

The following are instructions how to wrap a strained shin with tape:

Shin Splints Wrap

  1. get broad tape, particularly trainer’s tape. It should be about 1.5 inches wide
  2. shave the portions of the leg that you’ll be taping
  3. swathe the shin. Assure that you don’t envelop the calf muscle because it can induce a cramp. Wrap the shine once above the ankle and cut, so that the shin is only taped once
  4. remain taping, each time wrapping the shin once, progressing upward the leg. The layer of tape should somewhat overlap
  5. inspect the taping procedure. Stand up and walk. If the wrap is cramped then restart, unwrap and re-tape. If the calf is painful or cramps, cut a small opening in the top of the back of the taping for more leeway
