Growing Pains & Sports Readiness

Achy legs in the evening are common in growing children and are usually harmless. For active kids, fast-changing bodies and rising training loads can bring niggles of their own. We assess flexibility, strength and movement patterns so your child can keep doing what they love.

Growing pains

Growing pains typically show up in both legs, in the late afternoon or at night, and settle with rest, warmth or a rub. They do not usually cause a limp, swelling or pain during the day. Where the picture fits, we assess flexibility and movement through the hips, knees and ankles, and give you stretches and routines that help.

Young athletes

Children in sport are still growing, and growth plates, tendons and muscles adapt at different rates. We look at how your child moves, where they are tight or weak, and how their training load is stacking up — then work on the movement patterns that keep them comfortable and playing.
