I have bad shing bang, I iced my shins for 30 minutes last night, massaged them and then went to bed, this morning I massaged them a lot again. How do you stretch your shins though?

i dont think you can do anything about it. i get shin bang from landing in the backseat because it put pressure on your shins and that hurts a shit load. just ice them and take a day or two off

Maybe I'm wrong, but shin bang is from too much strain on the front of your shins. Racers get it all the time because they ski with a ton of forward boot pressure. When you land backseat off a jump, rail, etc, you get dead head toe and pain in the back of your calves. The best way to get rid of either of these is stretching, ice and massage. Point your toes to the ground and rotate your ankle...you should feel a light burn on the front of your shin. Other than that, try loosening the top buckle and strap on your boots one notch.

Whenever I get hella shin-bang, I go to my chiropractor. He puts electric-stim (basically an electric pulse generating machine) that makes my shins feel all better. Shin-bang is a mix of getiing your shins bruised, then it heals leaving scar tissue between the shin muscle-thing and the bone. As you injure it more and more, the scar-tissue builds up worse. Putting electric-stim on yer shins blasts all the scar tissue away, leaving them pain free and ready to rip.

You can buy a pocket sized stim unit, but they are crazy expensive

This is the only strecth that works for the shin muscle...you have to walk around on your heels with your toes pointed upwards until you start to feel the burn. Trust me it works. Try it out. Now.

dont ice your shins for more than 15 minuets at a time, take a 15 min. break in between.

For shin splints try this stretch. keep your heel on the ground and lift your toes up as far as possible and do 'toe taps' in this manner. Do like a 100 reps each foot. Hope that make sense.
