Shin Splints

Pilates for Shin Splints – Essential Training for Instructors

Join Theo Botha for a 1.5-hour workshop designed to help Pilates instructors understand and effectively work with clients experiencing Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome). This common but often debilitating condition affects athletes, runners, and active individuals, making it essential to apply targeted movement strategies to support recovery and prevent recurrence.

In this workshop, you’ll explore:

• The anatomy of the lower leg – Understanding the muscles, bones, and fascia involved in Shin Splints.
• The mechanics of Shin Splints – What causes the condition, including biomechanical imbalances and overuse patterns.
• Effects on the body – How this condition influences gait, posture, and movement efficiency.
• Essential exercise do’s and don’ts – Learn how to improve lower limb strength, mobility, and alignment while avoiding aggravating movements.
• Practical class templates – Proven Pilates-based strategies to help reduce pain, restore function, and enhance movement efficiency.

Pilates can be a powerful tool for addressing muscle imbalances, improving lower-body mechanics, and supporting injury prevention. This workshop will provide you with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to help your clients move safely and effectively as they recover from Shin Splints.
