Unlocking the Secret to Pain-Free Running
Shin splints are the nemesis of many a runner and athlete, characterized by a searing pain along the tibia – that's the shin bone – that can sideline even the most dedicated exercise enthusiasts. As a culprit of overuse, inappropriate footwear, and overtraining, shin splints can derail not only your running program but also your motivation to stay active. Karen, at Body By Karen in Riverview, New Brunswick, approaches shin splint treatment with a holistic blend of massage therapy, RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, Yin Yoga, and personalized training advice.

What Causes Those Pesky Shin Splints?
Before diving into the magic of Karen’s methods, let's understand the enemy we're dealing with – shin splints. The primary causes of shin splints can often be traced back to one's training regimen. Whether you're ramping up miles too quickly, failing to incorporate rest days, or not giving your body enough time to adapt to new or intense workouts, overuse is a well-known instigator. Additionally, improper footwear and biomechanical anomalies like overpronation or flat feet can contribute to this condition.
Tackling the issue head-on requires a multi-dimensional strategy, which is why Karen's approach is so effective.
