Severs Disease

Severs Disease What is it? Despite the name it is NOT a disease. The exact cause of Severs Disease is not yet fully understood, however it most commonly occurs in sporty children during a growth spurt which causes an increase in tension in the calf muscles at the point they attach to the heel bone (calcaneus). Pain may then develop in the heel and back of the ankle following a sudden increase in load, such as a big or sudden spike in the amount of repetitive loading that occurs during running and jumping activities.

Hello Autumn

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.
