"My shin splints literally "disappeared" in a few days."
"My sprained ankle finally feels like it's healing correctly and feels like it's getting stronger too."
The foot & ankle complex is your first contact with ground and activates the coordinated neuromuscular process above or in non-geek words it goes a long way in determining the function of your lower leg and total body posture as well.
In general terms a functional foot "reads" the terrain and equally absorbs ground reactive forces from below and loading in the form of gravity/bodyweight from above. The ankle joint is formed where the foot and the leg meet; it's only 3 inches, or so, in circumference, but still manages to bear weight, move weight (accelerate/decelerate), and dynamic impact from all directions (stabilize). Any dysfunctional loading of the foot & ankle leads to a variety of symptoms such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, ankle sprains, Achilles inflammation & shin splints.
The good news is that you just have to follow the P.A.S.T.® Foot & Ankle Tutorial and allow the wisdom of your body to do the rest!
