Summary

This study tests a 12-week individualized rehabilitation program for youth athletes aged 10–17 with Osgood-Schlatter disease (knee pain) or Sever disease (heel pain). The program includes education, pain monitoring, and tailored exercises. Researchers want to see if it's feasible and if it improves pain, function, and sports participation. 45 participants will be enrolled, and all will receive the same rehab framework.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, non-surgical way to manage pain and help young athletes return to sports safely.
