My 10-year-old daughter, who is competing Prep-Op, is having a lot of problems with her knees (both). I have taken her to see her pediatrician and to get x-rays (we don't have the results yet). Next Monday she meets with a Sports Medicine specialist to see if she needs Physical Therapy.
The pediatrician thinks she has Osgood-Schlatter's in her knees. From what I've read, it sounds like that it what it is. Has anyone had experience with this? Are there strengthening or stretching exercises that my daughter can do to help her get through this? Right now she has cut back to only practicing 4-6 hours/week and she ices her knees whenever she has pain.
The coaches seem to know very little about this condition and have had her doing exercises which I have read are very bad for knees (like frog jumps). Anything anyone can share with me about dealing with this condition would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
