🏃‍♀️ 🥇 Shin Splints are a common issue among runners, as our pal Caitlin can tell you! The impact of running in the Los Angeles Marathon, plus all the training prior and over usage can take a toll, including the muscles which lift the toes. To get an idea what this feels like, try putting your hands on the muscles that lift up the shin bone. Then, while seated, try lifting your toes and foot up and down for a few seconds. The burning sensation sets in quickly – now imagine 26.2 miles of that! 🔥💨

Caitlin is a Professional, so we taught her some KinesioTaping for ankle support, in addition to providing stretches to stabilize the shins. Without care, shin splints can limit the range of motion in the ankle and not only does this decrease performance, but is also a safety issue, as the toes may not lift high enough to avoid tripping!

She’s a winner in our eyes! 😍

[EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES]
🛌 😴 💤

Learning the correct pillow setup can be a pain in the neck – here is why!

❌ Many of us are used to the position in the first picture, with the head and neck stretched forward. Using more pillows does not necessarily mean more comfort! It is common to be propped up like this for using our phones, but this positioning creates tension in the occipitals of the neck and upper trapezius muscles. 🤳

❌ In the 2nd picture, the neck is overly extended. If you are feeling a pinch at the base of the skull, it is likely you need more support underneath your head! ↙️

✅ In the 3rd picture , let’s split the difference to keep the spine neutral ! For most cases, having the ears in line with the shoulders will indicate optimal neck alignment! 👍🏽
