This tape job is designed to support the tibialis anterior or the tibialis posterior, which are the muscles that are repetitively strained with shin splints. For this demonstration, we will apply the tape to support the tibialis anterior. It is important to mention that leg pain could also be attributed to compartment syndrome, stress fractures, tendinitis or fallen longitudinal arch. These should all be assessed by an AT/PT if there is uncertainty about the injury.
