Lower limb tendon pain

Isometrics can be a great way to help tendons, they’re not the only solution but a good area to look at

Yielding isometrics - holding against gravity/weight
GOAL - reduce pain

Overcoming isometrics - holding against an immovable object
GOAL - tendon stiffness

Ever wondered what might be included in an assessment?

Here’s who has ran 12 marathons in 12 days last year…… and is planing a backyard ultra marathon as well as many other crazy things.

We looked at:

Range of movement
Maximal isometric force
Rate of force development

These will dictate some of his training routine and injury prevention work

Shin Splints or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

Marathon season is soon approaching and I’ve seen a big influx of shin related pain in the past few weeks.

1. Manage your load - you may be running further or harder than usual, and your tibia and surrounding area simply cannot adapt to it. A temporary reduction or evaluation of training load will help

2. Running mechanics - there isn’t a perfect stride length, however a temporary change to shorten the stride length with less heel strike may help to improve symptoms. Once under control, the previous stride can be implemented again

3. Look above and below the chain - there may be more load placed on the tibia due to other issues above (knee or hips) or below (ankle). Strengthening/loosening surrounding musculature or other structural changes may help

As a note - It’s important to get checked asap and rule out stress fractures which ultimately will mean you’ll have to stop running completely and rest.
