To perform them, sit so that you are cross-legged and one foot is elevated off the floor.Arctic Blast From there, proceed to point the foot until it's fully stretched and then make one complete circle with the ankle. Once you are back in the stretched position once again, then you are to repeat the movement, only this time moving in the opposite direction.
Aim to finish six to eight total circles and then switch legs and repeat.
Side Leaning Stretch
Finally, the third of the shin splint stretches that you should start doing immediately to put this injury behind you is a side leaning stretch. This is where you will position the foot so it's slightly behind the other, then lean in the opposite direction.
You likely will feel a slight pull on both the side of the calf as well as on the side of the thigh, indicating you are stretching out this entire muscle.
So be sure you keep these shin splint stretches in mind. If you can perform these three to four times each day, you should soon find that you're back to your normal activities pain-free.
