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.
