  Standing Anterior Tibialis Shin Stretch

   
  

  • Stand up. You may want to use a hand on a wall or other support for balance.
  • Bend both knees slightly.
  • One foot remains squarely on the ground. The foot to be stretched is placed just behind this stable foot, with the toe of the stretching foot touching the ground.
  • Keeping your toe firmly on the ground, pull the stretching leg forward so you feel a stretch from the top of your stretching foot through your shins.
  • Once you feel a good stretch, hold it for 15-30 seconds.

  • Repeat the stretch with the other foot.
  • You can use this stretch as part of a warm-up stretching routine, or as part of a cool-down. You can also simply do it at any time during the day.
