Tibialis Anterior Stretch
Runners in particular are prone to overuse injuries due to the constant movement of the foot. Muscles in the shin are connected to the foot and are constantly contracting to help move the foot upward every time it is about to land on the ground. Acute injuries to the shins are rare and can occur with ankle sprains. However, repetitive motions with the foot over pronating or supinating can lead to excessive amounts of pull in the front side of the portion of the leg below the knee.
