Osgood Schlatters Disease What is it ? Osgood Schlatters disease is a term used to describe pain that is in a very localised area just below the patella ( knee cap) on the shin bone where the patella tendon inserts (the tibial tuberosity). The cause of Osgood Schlatters disease is not yet fully understood. It is most commonly seen in sporty adolescents between the ages of 9-15, more often in boys and 4 times more common in those athletes who have specialised early in 1 sport, but it can also occur in the non sporty population too.

Autumn has arrived and with it a flurry of activity, kids back to school and the restarting of all their activities both in and out of school. For the vast majority of kids there will have been a period of rest away from sport, if not completely, then certainly a reduction in the quantity and consistency. The third week of September is the most common time for sporty kids to get injured.

Great weather for our final end of season throws event of 2024 and to be joined by our friends from Holland Sports, Crawley, Winchester and Southampton.
