Easy Taping Technique for Shin Splints

This taping technique is ideal for Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints) and Posterior Compartment Syndrome 

These conditions present as pain in the medial (inside) behind and above the medial ankle. Pain can be felt up the shin and becomes worse during sporting activity. The pain comes from the outer layer of the bone known as the periosteum. This is where it gets the name shin splints from. Using this taping technique can ease the symptom of shin splints, reduce pain and increase mobility. 

In this video I am using RockTape for this technique. If the skin becomes itchy the tape should be removed straight away, Do not use taping if you are allergic to plasters. You should not constantly re tape. You need to give your skin time to breathe between taping. I recommend a minimum of 5 days between tapings.
