Invented by former elite athletes turned medical doctor, biomedical engineer, and product designer, the Solushin® orthosis is designed to treat medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints). Designed to be worn before or after running, for 30 minutes to 2 hours, it works by compressing the area of pain and inflammation and reducing tension in the soleus with patented counter-traction technology. The user can expect a reduction in pain and release of tension in their calves in the short term. Over a more extended period, the sufferer can expect to return to running with no pain with consistent use. This is typically 5 weeks, as reflected in the clinical trial. It is recommended that the Solushin® be used as an adjunct therapy to strengthening exercises and load-management programs provided by a healthcare professional.
