The Back Pain Podcast Kids Aren’t Mini Adults - Severs and Osgood Schlatter’s Disease with Angela Jackson
In this episode, Angela Jackson specialist paediatric physio shares great content about the common conditions and injuries for children and the best treatments
It’s the art of the therapist to help educate young people on how the journey to recovery will look and what they can do to increase their level of robustness and movement competency and Angela shares great advice
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In loads of different ways, kids aren’t adults until they are in their early twenties
- My first question is always ‘what’s changed’ when I’m treating children
- A massive part of the therapy role is helping young people to understand what contributes such as diet, sleep and exercise
- Girls skeletally mature around two years earlier than boys
- There is a finite window around when these conditions occur
- With the right management and knowledge you can stop the recurrence of the condition
- There is a role for soft tissue therapy and building the muscles up so that the child is more robust
- They need to develop movement and physical literacy, the confidence to move
BEST MOMENTS
‘Growth in the foot moves to growth in the shin and then in the thigh’
‘It’s not just about the pulling and pushing it’s also about the squashing’
‘To make them more robust and resilient you need to keep them doing as much as they can to keep the muscles strong’
