I recently had shin splints in both shins. I took a couple of weeks off practice to let them rest. I should have taken more time off, but I thought they were better, and I had to practice for a big move-up event, so I started practicing on them again. Since they didn't heal completely then, they have now come back. I still go to practice, but I sit out anything with "impact," meaning vault and floor and anything else that involves running or jumping. (Lots of conditioning - yipee. :melodramatic I have been wrapping them up with ace bandages every day. I know there are exercises to do to strengthen them, but I don't know what they are. Anyone know any good ones? Also, am I supposed to do them after my shins heal, or while they are healing? Finally, any other tips for how to take care of them/make them heal faster?
