Ep 381: Tibial Bone Stress Masterclass Part 1 (Shin Pain, Shin Splints or Stress Fracture?)
About this episode
This episode discusses the differences between shin splints and tibial bone stress injuries, providing insights for runners and clinicians.

Brad and Tim walk through the physiology of bone loading, the palpation tests that separate a "safe to keep running" diagnosis from one requiring an MRI, and the loading tests used to stress-test the tibia safely in clinic.
