Book Free Consultation →Shin splints — clinically known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) — is one of the most common running injuries, accounting for 13–17% of all running-related injuries according to a systematic review published in Sports Medicine (2009). It is characterised by pain along the inner border of the tibia during and after running — and while it often starts as a manageable ache, it can progress to a stress fracture if not addressed appropriately.
At Interlink Physiotherapy we help runners across Ancaster and Hamilton address shin splints with an evidence-based approach that identifies the underlying drivers of tibial stress — not just managing symptoms but building the capacity to run pain-free long-term.
