Thank you in advance!

For Parents - Heel pain(severs apophysitis ) with increased training hours

Hello all, first post here! Just took my young gymnast(6yo) to the sports medicine doc with heel pain. She recently increased her training hours from 4 to 9 since joining the gyms level 3 team. I was told she is experiencing “severs apophysitis” or basically pain in her growth plate area...

What is better tho? The tape is helping but it's really expensive

There isn’t a better… it’s whatever works for each individual.

Taping has been a lifesaver for my daughter. We use this method. It’s expensive with three kids of tape, but without it she was in tears in pain. This almost completely takes it away. We also do icing, massage and stretching.



You need strapping tape - elastikon 3inch
It’s like sticky ace wrap

And then you need tape to wrap over it - power flex
Amazon product ASIN B003JJ5RC0
And regular sports tape for the anchors

OK Thanks

For what it's worth, my kid swears by KT tape for her knee pain. We've found cheaper alternatives on Amazon. Works just as well, but sometimes doesn't stick as well.
