@physio_tash: Here is one of my favourite ways to use taping to help support and desensitise shin pain in runners, using @RockTape kinesiology tape. Taping can be a useful short-term tool for symptoms associated with conditions such as medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) and tibialis anterior-related pain. It may help with symptom modulation, provide additional sensory feedback and make running or rehabilitation exercises feel more comfortable. However, taping shouldn’t be used in isolation. If you have persistent shin pain, it’s important to identify why the area is being overloaded. Rehabilitation may need to address calf and lower-limb strength, running load, biomechanics and running gait to help address the underlying cause. Persistent or worsening shin pain should always be appropriately assessed to rule out a tibial bone stress injury.
