A new Approach To Treating Shin Splints
The Solushin® is a fast and effective treatment for shin splints. Backed by a published clinical trial in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Innovations, the Solushin® provides immediate pain relief and treats shin splints 75-days faster than current treatment methods.
The Solushin® uses patented Counter-Traction Technology™ that releases tension in your calf muscle and targets the area of inflammation and pain, while you walk around or kick back on the couch – treat your injury at home, on your own schedule.
The Solushin® is used and trusted by professional athletes, Olympic medalists and everyday runners around the world.
Backed by Clinical Evidence
In a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, the Solushin showed an ability to effectively treat medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) in an average of 35-days. This was compared to the average of 110-days for other treatment options. This clinical trial is published in the Innovations Journal of the British Medical Journal.
In a separate study to show the effects of ankle range of motion, a measure that shows the release in tension of the calf (soleus) muscle, the Solushin improved ankle range by 21% in an hour.
- The Solushin is the faster way to get back to running without shin splints – clinically trialed, easy to use and trusted by Olympians.
- Improve ankle range of motion/reduce tension in calves to also support the treatment of plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and more
- Patented design developed by a medical doctor, biomedical engineer and medical product designer
- Receive a complimentary load management program developed by multiple medical doctors to be used alongside the Solushin to get you back to running pain-free even faster.
- Trusted by the physiotherapists and podiatrists of Olympic medalists and professional athletes
- Access to additional strengthening programs for better long term outcomes.
How does the Solushin work?
The Solushin combines two approaches to treating shin splints:
- Compress the site of inflammation and pain
- Release tension in the calf muscles
Within the sleeve, the wearer will find a compressive component that is applied to the site of pain. The straps compress this down. Participants in the clinical trial and users of the Solushin noted immediate reductions in pain thanks to this component. Three parts compress the origin sites of your soleus muscle (in your calf).
By targeting these areas of tension, the Solushin effectively reduces tension throughout the whole muscle belly.
How Should the Solushin Feel?
The Solushin® utilizes patented Counter-Traction Technology™ to enable users to return back to shin splints free running 75-days faster than other treatment options.
Reduce Tension in your Calves
The patented Counter-Traction Technology™ applies a soft pressure to where your calf muscle connects to your tendons. This results in a 21% reduction in tension in just one-hour. Solushin® wearers tell us this makes their calves feel great.
Target The Site of Pain
By applying focal pressure to the site of pain, our patented Counter-Traction Technology™ is directly tackling the site of inflammation.
Torsional Force to Offload
In addition to the patented Counter-Traction Technology™, the straps are designed to apply a torsional force to your calf. This twisting motion reduces how much your calf is pulling on the site of pain and inflammation.
How Should the Solushin Feel?
The Solushin has been designed to keep the user in control of the pressure. It is made from high-quality, medical-grade materials, so it is comfortable to slide on. While wearing it, if you are tender or sore in the spots of pressure, adjust the pressure accordingly.
If you have shin splints pain, you should notice a fast reduction in pain while wearing the device. This should continue to subside in your runs over the course of a month until you are running shin pain-free. You should also notice a reduction in tension in your calf muscles with improved range of motion after wearing the device.
When Do I Wear the Solushin Shin Splint Medical Device?
The Solushin was designed to be worn for 30-minutes to 2-hours before or after running. Alternatively, it can be worn during a low-level activity such as walking. Before running enables you to improve your ankle range of motion and reduce tension in your calf muscles before you engage in the exercise while after the activity works better for pain management.
Sizing Chart
Select for either the left or right leg. Then select the sizing based on the sizing chart below.
| Size | Circumference Location A (cm) | Circumference Location B (cm) |
| Small | 30 – 33 cm | 22 – 24 cm |
| Medium | 34 – 36 cm | 25 – 27 cm |
| Large | 37 – 40 cm | 28 – 30 cm |
| XLarge | 41 – 44 cm | 31 – 34 cm |
 | Measurement: Measure circumference just below the knee A (as per the diagram) and above the ankle B (as per the diagram). If one of your measurements suits a size different to the second measure, choose the larger size. For example: If your A measurement is 35cm and your B measurement 21cm choose Medium. Similarly, if your B measurement was 29cm, but your A was 34cm, you would choose Large. |
