Thank you very much for your help, yes i do have what i believe are quite falllen arches as did my doctor however the paediatrist didnt believe it was bad enough for specialist insoles. As it stands i was visiting a private physio which was costing me £30 a visit, and as you are questioning him putting needles along the painful area of my shins its seems stupid that i was paying so much, also as a student this was something i couldnt afford so am waiting on my doctor to get back to me as i was hoping to get reffered to a physio on the nhs. As with stretches, strengthening excercises and cryotherapy what do you suggest? I now have plenty of time on my hands and have until july before i go away on holiday (would like to get back into shape by then) then i have all summer afterwards as well to really make sure i am 100% for the start of football. Would shin supports help at all, like the compression shin supports?
