Shin Splint Taping (vid)

Hey guys!

11/20/2013

So if you follow me on twitter, you'll know that my worst enemy right now is this shin splint I've had for 2-3 weeks now. I've tried relaxing it and icing it but nothing has really helped me out as much as I need. So I found out about KT tape and looked online on how I should tape my shin. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a very good video that was super related to the area that I have my shin splint in so I ended up making my own arrangement.

Like I mention in the video, I'm not an expert or certified in Kinesiology but I figured I'd give it a-go and it seems to help me out pretty well.

Here's how I do it and let me know if you have any questions at all. 

(BTW, I apologize for being quiet--my roommates were sleeping. Also, I know the background noise is super annoying. Will try to fix ASAP)

**Update: I ended up adding another full length piece over the two horizontal pieces to close the gap. Here are some pictures of the final wrapping:

 

Again, I got my tape at Albertsons for $10 but there are many more color options on KT tape's website (http://www.kttape.com/) but you'll have to pay a little more plus shipping for it. 

Definitely feel free to follow me on twitter and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

Good luck and happy running!
