In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, co-hosts Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, explore the common issue of shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome, prevalent among runners and those engaged in high-impact activities. They emphasize the importance of foot health, the benefits of barefoot shoes like Vivo Barefoot, and the necessity of maintaining strong muscles in the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Key points include understanding shin splints, load management, strengthening exercises, the importance of cross-training, seeking professional guidance, and preventive strategies. They also introduce a barefoot mini-course for improving foot and ankle health.
