Phase 1: Rest & Pain Management

Focus on the RICE method: Rest from aggravating activities, Ice the shin for 15-20 mins several times a day, use Compression, and Elevate your leg.

`; const phase2 = `

Phase 2: Gentle Strengthening & Flexibility

Once pain-free with walking, begin gentle calf stretches, toe raises, and heel walks to strengthen supporting muscles.

`; const phase3 = `

Phase 3: Gradual Return to Activity

Start with low-impact activities. Gradually reintroduce your primary sport at 50% intensity/duration, increasing by no more than 10% per week. Stop if pain returns.
