Growing pains can be a common experience for children as they develop and explore the world around them.
Simply put, they are outgrowing their muscles’ capacity to stretch. Ideally, muscles’ maximum tension should not be reached with routine activities; there should be reserve. However, highly active children with tight muscles are repeatedly causing strain because the tight muscles cannot compensate.
Their bones are growing rapidly and the connective tissue around the muscle does not grow at the same rate, so the system gets too tight. Ultimately, it is similar to overstretching a rubber band to the point of failure at a weak spot. Kids experience pain prior to this scenario, so they stop their activity until the pain goes away. As their activities continue, the tension and inflammation gets worse and worse.
At Step + Stride Podiatry, we understand the challenges that come with growing pains and are here to help you navigate this phase. Remember, it’s always best to consult a professional if you have concerns.

Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday night to enjoy an extra hour of sleep and lighter mornings. As the temperatures drop, remember to keep your feet warm, dry, and moisturised to avoid cracked heels and fungal infections. Wear wool or thermal socks, moisturise daily, avoid tight shoes, and dry thoroughly between your toes to maintain circulation and prevent chilblains. Proper foot care is essential during the cooler months.
