It can help to take a can of soup or veggies and roll your bare foot over it repeatedly - I do it while watching TV. You can also prevent shin splints from starting by doing stretches - after a run and your normal stretch routine, walk on your heels for 50 steps, then on your heels with toes pointing out for 50 steps, then on your heels with toes pointing in for 50 steps. Some people swear by walking backwards for a quarter mile or so following a run, but I prefer the heel-walking. Hope this helps.
