Shin splints cause pain along the shinbone from repetitive stress, often seen in runners or those who suddenly increase activity. Physiotherapy helps reduce inflammation and correct movement patterns that overload the shin.
When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor if shin pain is severe, localized to one spot, or does not improve with rest, as this may need imaging to rule out a stress fracture.
