The Moji Minute - How to Massage Your Shin Splints

Watch this video to learn how you can use the Moji Curve PRO to perform a massage to help you find relief from shin splints. There are 2 primary contributors to shin splints: the Anterior Tibialis, which runs along the outside front of the shin bone, and the Posterior Tibialis, which runs on the inside back of the shin bone. In this video, we show you how to target both of these muscles. To start your massage, focus on the Anterior Tibialis. To begin, start massaging just below the knee and work all the way down to the top of the anklebone. Use long strokes, also known as elongation massage. Elongation massage helps stretch the tissue and relieve tension. Make sure to note any sore spots while you’re doing this massage. Moji's multi-directional massage spheres allow for another type of massage, cross friction. Cross friction is a deeper massage in which you work against the grain of the muscle fiber. Return to any sore spots you noticed during elongation massage and perform cross friction. After that, you move on to target the Posterior Tibialis with elongation strokes. Isolate a single sphere behind the shinbone and work up and down. Utilizing these massage techniques you will find relief from your shin splints in no time. You can utilize all of these techniques on your shin splints before or after activity. Self-massaging after playing sports, working out, running or sitting in the office can help alleviate pain, reduce soreness, prevent injury and prepare you for the next day’s activity.
