A proposito di questo titolo
Growth spurts can be tough on cheerleaders — especially when knee or heel pain starts to show up.
In this episode of The Cheer Athlete Podcast, I break down two of the most common growth-related injuries in young athletes: Osgood Schlatter’s disease and Sever’s disease.
You’ll learn:
What’s actually happening at the knee and heel growth plates
Why stretching alone isn’t the answer
The difference between soreness and red-flag symptoms
When your athlete should modify practice
How crawling, core stability, and hip strength reduce pain
When it’s time to seek professional help
These injuries are common during growth spurts — but they don’t have to sideline your athlete.
If your cheerleader is limping after practice or landing differently in jumps, this episode is for you.
