Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy
for Shin Splints
Deep tissue massage of the posterior tibial muscles and calf reduces the fascial tension on the tibial periosteum that contributes to MTSS.
How it works
Releases tension in the tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and soleus fascia that attaches to the tibial periosteum. Reduces the fascial pull that drives periosteal microavulsions in MTSS.
What to watch for
Deep tissue work over the inflamed tibial periosteum itself should be avoided during acute phases. Focus on the surrounding musculature and posterior compartment.
