Guest thepinkfairy Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 whenever i do our jetes ordinaires exercise, i get really sore shins. I don't get this problem when doing jumps from two feet, but i do when doing from one. What could i be doing wrong? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Check yourself to see if you're taking off or landing with a rolled foot. I see that fairly frequently in students. Quote Link to comment

Guest cheeriodancer10 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I used to get shin splints and sore shins really easily. Could it be from jumping a lot on a hard surface maybe? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 And that is also possible. Quote Link to comment
Guest dancergal Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I also used to get sore shins/shin splints. My problem was that I didn't put my heels down when I landed from jumps. My teacher also suggested that I make sure that my calves stayed loose and not tight. Quote Link to comment
Guest cheeriodancer10 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Oh, are shin splints and tight calves related? Now that I think of it, it makes sense. Along with getting shin splints, my calves sometimes become immensely tight- to such a degree that I can barely walk. Thankfully that happens rarely though. Quote Link to comment
