The Solushin Shin Splints Brace is a shin splints treatment device that you wear before or after training, with no need to run in it. It uses Counter-Traction Technology to apply soft pressure where the calf muscle connects to the tendons, and torsional straps apply a twisting force to the calf. This reduces how much the calf pulls on the painful area. Focal compression is applied to the pain site to help address inflammation. It’s designed for at-home use on your own schedule and is sold per leg, as a left or right.
