after about six months of running I developed shin splints and had to stop running for a couple of months. I then went to a Physio, who had some orthotics made up for me. (the soft variety, somewhat thicker than an insole.) The relief was almost instantaneously. This was the only time I got some quantifiable benefits from a physio.
I was at the recent marathon Expo in dublin, and talked to this lady who had a stall there selling "foot correctors". I am toying with the idea of having some of them fitted in an effort to alleviate the pain and discomfort in my toes, when I am running.
has anyone any experience of these? If I get these fitted and take out the old orthotics , will the shin splints return?
Also, they are quite pricey (€350), which would be a worthwhile investment if the issue was sorted, but would obviously be a waste of money if not
your thoughts
thanks
