I took my two boys to the podiatrist. My older son (L5, age 11) has been complaining of pain after gym in his heels. SEVER'S, and he has flat feet, tight Achilles tendon, and hyper mobile ankles. A really bad combo!!
My younger son (L7, 9 yr old) has extremely hyper mobile ankles, and if he continued without strengthening and support, she said he would damage himself. No flat feet. He was also DXed with the first stages of Sever's, but said his super flexible calves along with really strong feet has saved him. Along with his balking.
I have no idea yet what to do for my older son, but a team mate brought in a cheetah support, and my younger son tried it and loved it. He was so excited and he felt great tumbling in it. The coach wants him to have shoes, not the cheetahs. They would have to have inserts, but no one seems to have any idea what to get for inside the shoe. Or what specific shoes I should get.
Ideas? Any ideas....
I went ahead with coach approval and bought some cheetahs I found for a good price for YDS until we can figure out the shoes. I will probably get some for ODS too, but they are really hard to get on, and ODS will not like that at all. He has wide feet, too. Is there an alternative?
