Forums >Health and Nutrition>Shin compression wrap: crap or useful?
2010 Goofy Trainee
I have posterior shin splint issues and chronically tight shin/calf muscles. I tried a similar technique (I used an ace bandage, but same idea as the compression wrap) and it didn't help me much. Recently had a PT appt and am getting some custom orthotics. She gave me some good information about how my tight leg muscles were exacerbating my already severe pronation, etc. If you haven't seen a PT, I'd recommend doing so. She was miles better than the podiatrist I saw for the same problem. Good luck.
Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream...
