Shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome, refer to pain along the shinbone caused by inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue. Typically occurring during physical activity, especially running or high-impact sports, shin splints can result from overuse or improper footwear.
Products commonly used to treat shin splints include compression sleeves or wraps that provide targeted support and help reduce inflammation. In addition, specialized insoles or orthotic inserts designed to provide better shock absorption and support during physical activities can be effective in managing and preventing shin splints.

The Solushin® is a breakthrough treatment for shin splints, clinically proven and backed by a study published in BMJ Innovations. It delivers immediate pain relief and reduces shin splints recovery time by up to 75 days compared to traditional methods.
Developed by three elite athletes—now a medical doctor, biomedical engineer, and medical product designer—the Solushin® uses patented Counter-Traction Technology™ to release tension in the calf muscle and directly target inflammation. Best of all, it allows users to stay active or relax while treating their injury.
What are shin splints?
Shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), is a common condition causing pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). It’s often the result of repetitive stress on the shin and surrounding tissues, particularly from high-impact activities like running or jumping.
Athletes and runners are more prone to shin splints, but anyone involved in weight-bearing activities can develop this condition. The primary symptom is a dull, aching pain that can progress to sharp discomfort, especially during or after physical activity.
Despite how common shin splints are, innovative treatments have been lacking. Studies show that the average recovery time for shin splints can be up to 110 days. Many sufferers experience prolonged pain and difficulty returning to full training due to the slow recovery process.
Left untreated, shin splints can escalate into more severe issues, such as stress fractures, making early and effective treatment essential for faster recovery.
Elite Athlete turned Doctor’s Determination to Find a Better Solution
Dr. William McNamara, now an orthopaedic surgeon in training, personally dealt with shin splints for eight years. Tired of being told to “just rest,” he realized a better solution was needed.
After narrowly missing the Olympics due to another injury-ridden season, Dr. McNamara teamed up with biomedical engineer and world cup finalist Ben Lindsay and medical product designer Rosa Miller to develop the world’s first medical device specifically designed to:
Empower athletes to effectively manage shin splints pain.
Enable faster recovery, allowing athletes to return to peak performance more quickly.
A Faster Treatment, Proven by Clinical Trials
After years of ineffective solutions in their own careers, the Solushin® team was determined to create a device backed by real science. In partnership with a leading Australian sports medicine centre, they conducted their first clinical trial.
Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Published in BMJ Innovations, the study showed that Solushin® users returned to full activity 75 days faster on average than with traditional treatments (35 days vs. 110 days). That’s the equivalent of being able to complete 10 extra Parkrun’s without shin pain!
Participants also reported immediate pain relief. In this trial, compression garments were used as the placebo, as they have no proven effect on treating shin splints.
Improving Ankle Range of Motion by 21% in One Hour
After receiving feedback from early users about how great the Solushin® made their calves feel, the team conducted a follow-up study to measure the product’s impact on ankle range of motion (ROM). Improved ROM indicates reduced tension in the calf muscles, a key factor in treating shin splints.
Results showed an average 21% improvement in ankle ROM after just one hour of use.
What about compression sleeves?
Compression sleeves are widely used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts for their ability to improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue. However, independent studies confirm that they have no significant impact on treating shin splints.
In the Solushin® clinical trial, the control group wore compression garments as a placebo. The clear outcome of the trial highlights the superior effectiveness of Solushin® over compression sleeves in treating shin splints.
Launching into Canada
The Australian team behind Solushin® is thrilled to partner with The Physio Store, Canada’s leading online shop for braces, supports, and wellness products, to bring this world-first treatment to Canadians.
