RT recently caught up with Ben Lindsay, co-founder of Solushin, an Australian-owned medical device designed to help athletes combat shin splints, tight calf muscles, and other lower limb issues. Solushin was developed by Ben, a former Australian national medalist swimmer, alongside William McNamara, a runner turned medical doctor, and Rosa Miller, a gymnast turned designer.
This research-backed medical device has been clinically shown to effectively treat shin splints and improve ankle range of motion by 23% in just one hour. It works by targeting the pain and inflammation associated with shin splints while reducing tension in the soleus muscles.
What makes Solushin unique is its convenience—you can wear it while going about your day. After training, simply wear it for 30 minutes to two hours while walking, stretching, or even cooking dinner (just don’t run in it). The device is already a favorite among professional athletes and teams, helping runners, sprinters, dancers, rugby players, and more across Australia, the US, and the UK.
After our interview, Ben shared an exciting moment: while in Austin for The Running Event, he was surprised to see Solushin featured on Netflix’s SPRINT, worn by Paris 2024 100m silver medalist Kishane Thompson.
The Solushin is actively recommended by leading sports physicians, physiotherapists, and podiatrists. And as a special treat for RT listeners, Ben has organized an exclusive discount—tune in to the episode to learn more.
