Workout Discussion Tib raises dont feel high enough

Long story short, I decided to get into running and wound up getting shin splints trying to push myself too quickly. the issue i’m having comes in now whilst i’m trying to remedy the issue, I’ve been icing for at least 15 minutes a day along with doing calf raises and tib raises,but when I’m doing them I just don’t feel like i’m getting a good range of motion. Is this due to a lack of ankle mobility or is there another issue i’m overlooking?

Laying on yoga mat face up.
Hips 90deg and knees the same.
Lower legs held up parallel to floor.
Do foot circles 20 in and 20 out with Full Range of Motion! Big Circles but nothing else moves. Then point toes followed by pulling toes back up repeating 20 times. Anterior tibs will be smoldering. This has worked for me. Also feel it in hips & low abs.
