I'm a novice runner, and I'm really concerned that if I don't do more than RICE, I'll end up with orthotics. Also, my shins are screaming at me!

I generaly do two cubes per shin. A quick and easy tip for iceing is to just use the ice cubes from your freezer and rub these quite hard up and down your shin. I generaly do two cubes per shin.

I have pretty much done all off the above and if you are persistent you can get on top of it. It's just a matter of keeping up the stretching and strengthening exercisies, not over do the running and regualr iceing when they flare up.

Also, in my experience, standing in a bucket of ice water for about 5 minutes is more effective than ice massage. A contrast bath is even better.
