Osgood-Schlatter’s? Here’s what actually helps 👇

If your sporty child has pain + a bump just below the knee, the goal is NOT total rest… it’s smart load management.

✅ DO

Reduce sprinting/jumping temporarily (not forever)

Keep pain during activity mild (think 0–3/10) and settling by next day

Build strength with gentle quad holds + hip/glute strength

Use ice after sport if sore

Consider a patellar strap for PE/sport (often helps)

❌ STOP

“Push through it” training

Repeated deep squats / jump drills when it’s flared

Aggressive stretching over a painful knee

Ignoring limping or next-day pain

Good news: most kids improve really well with the right plan.

Knee pain in sporty kids? It might not be “growing pains”.

Osgood-Schlatter’s is a very common condition in active children (10–14yrs), especially during growth spurts.

It happens when the strong quadriceps muscle pulls on a soft, growing bone just below the knee, causing pain, swelling and a tender bump.

👉 It’s not dangerous
👉 It’s not permanent damage
👉 But it does need the right load management... not “just push through it”

Ignoring it can mean ongoing pain, limping, and time out of sport.

The good news?
With the right approach, most kids stay active and settle symptoms well.

Being busy isn’t the same as training your body to move well.

Rehab, recovery, and injury prevention often come down to:
🔹 Activating your postural muscles
🔹 Targeting deep stability
🔹 Rebalancing patterns from the inside out

It’s not just about stretching or strengthening, it’s about retraining how your body moves and holds itself in everyday life.

✨ Form follows function.✨
And if the function isn’t quite right, form can suffer... leading to overload, discomfort, or recurring pain.

We use targeted rehab and Pilates-based movement to address exactly this.

🧘‍♀️ Pilates isn’t just stretching — it’s strength, stability, and support from the inside out.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing long-term pain, or just want to move better... Pilates can help with:

✔️ Core control
✔️ Joint support
✔️ Posture and alignment
✔️ Breathwork and body awareness
✔️ Confidence in movement

It’s low impact, highly adaptable, and evidence-based and we love using it in clinic as part of rehab and prevention.

Autumn is a reminder that slowing down is part of the cycle. 🍂

If your body’s asking for rest, movement, or something gentler... listen to it.

Is your back pain more than just “back pain”? 🤔

If you:
🔹 Wake stiff most mornings and it lasts more than 30 minutes
🔹 Feel better after movement, not rest
🔹 Get pain in your lower back, buttocks, or hips that swaps sides
🔹 Are under 45 and have had symptoms for months or even years
🔹 Have a family history of Autoimmune, Psoriasis or inflammatory conditions

…it could be more than just “wear and tear.”

📣 These are common signs of Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) — a type of inflammatory arthritis that often goes undiagnosed for years.

The good news?
With the right support, education, and early management, things can improve.
And you're not alone.

📩 If any of this feels familiar... drop me a message. I know what to look for, and I know how to help.

Back pain slowing you down? 😩

Whether it’s from sitting too long, lifting awkwardly, or just… existing some days, back pain can really take the joy out of everyday life.

💥 Struggling to get comfy at night?
💥 Avoiding certain movements?
💥 Feeling stiff, stuck or sore for no obvious reason?

You don’t have to “just get on with it.”

A proper assessment and the right kind of treatment plan can make a big difference, and often faster than you think.

📩 Message me if you’re ready to get on top of it, or if you’re not sure where to start, I’m happy to chat.
