Help with flat feet and shin splints

sycokid666

I also have flat feet and was heavy I would get terrible shin splints and if it wasn't chin splints my calves would start hurting I did exercises for them .. Sit on a chair or something line up your heels to your knees where there straight up and down and start tapping your toes up and down like your playing a double bass pedal for drums .. Just sit there and keep doing it until it starts to burn and you can hardly lift your toes up .. I would do this maybe three times a day and also roll a sponge thing up and down your chins massage them .. And for me I just keep running and pushing myself and once the weight came off I could run and run and run no pains anywhere's.. And I use sketchers go bionic 2 shoes to run in on dry surfaces it's basically like running barefoot and it seems to help with heel striking , you basically have to learn how to run .. I know it sounds funny but it's the truth ..

I have feet like boards - the tennis ball thing is a godsend, only I've gone back to using a soup can instead. It's more stable and I'm able to get the sides of my feet without having the ball shoot across the room

One stretch I do for calves & Achilles tendon is just to crouch down and hang out there, like I'm going to do a yogi squat even though I'm not flexible enough - I just grab ahold of something to keep me from falling over.
