Growing feet and legs are twisting and turning in all directions and occasionally cause pain, often referred to as ‘growing pains’. Severs (heel pain), Osgood schlatters (knee) pain are particularly common in active kids.
Appropriate footwear is very important for growing feet and can change as the foot changes. Persistent problems may require additional support with orthotics. Southern Sports Podiatry has podiatrists that are experienced in this area and consult in the Sutherland Foot Clinic so ask for one of these Podiatrists when making an appointment.
