Some of the comments on youtube are favourable but I still doubt it. I figure there must be a few people with shin splints here - anyone able to try it and update? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDwY0QFsPqs&feature=related

I've had niggling shin splints recently, and massaging calf muscles,peroneals and the anterior tibialis certainly helps. I hadn't thought about the underfoot..which he uses a golf ball for. Try it Kieren..hope it helps.

stuman Jan 2012 8:25pm, 28 Jan 2012 13 posts	Quote Pin stuman i guess it may work for some people good find though Kieren, I have also seen this also on youtube but again not sure if it works think it is more an excercise for preventing shin splints http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYtutZkRiYs&feature=endscreen&NR=1 tried the above on youtube this did work for me but may not work for everyone.
