Graduated Return-to-Running Programme
for Shin Splints
A structured, progressive return-to-running protocol following MTSS ensures the tibia adapts to increasing load without recurrence.
How it works
Graduated loading progressively stimulates bone adaptation (Wolff's Law) — increasing bone density and periosteal thickness to withstand running forces. Rapid return causes recurrence.
What to watch for
Pain during running should be ≤2/10 and return to baseline within 24 hours. Start with run-walk intervals. A physiotherapist or sports medicine doctor can design an individualised programme.
