Osgood Schlatter's Disease Causes and Management
from Fit As A Physio
PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/Osgood-Schlatter's Disease is an overuse injury affecting the front of the knee, particularly common in growing children aged 9-12 who participate in activities involving a lot of running and jumping. This condition results from the body's inability to recover sufficiently during periods of rapid growth and intense physical training. It is a self-limiting condition with no long-term complications, resolving once growth stops. Management primarily involves conservative approaches such as rest, ice, improved nutrition, and adjusting training load based on pain levels, rather than requiring invasive procedures.LEARN MORE: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/blog/osgood-schlatters-diseaseSupport the show
