OK. So on a club run last night i mentioned to somebody that I thought i had the beginnings of shin splints. He recommended seeing a physio in the first instance. then also suggested that i could use a rolling pin to massage my calves as a lot of shin issues were related to calf problems. Well i tried it last anyway but is he mad?

Rolling pin?? PMSL...
I think he means this...
The Stick
Good for ITB as well
not as directional but same logic
and if it doesnt work you can beat him with it, tell him I said so.
surely the seperate spindles have gaps which would rip all your leg hair out Nam?
LEG HAIR?
You think I'm the missing link in disguise or summit??
I might try it out on TT's hamstrings....
You come near me with a rolling pin and I will...................
Cheers guys and gals. Lots of useful advice. i gave it a go and felt much better the next day so maybe there's something in it?
The Stick and other rollers whether foam or a rolling pin will do the trick as they replicate a massage technique. I'm using a foam one for my ITBS.
A jolly bright orange colour, my roller looks like an innocuous toy that wouldn't be out of place in a kiddies' soft play area. This belies it's real purpose because it unleashes evil on my poor iliotibial band and has me practically weeping on the floor
I got mine from work but Here has them.
And Here
Try ebay too.
