severs

So, i'm looking for advice I have sever's disease and it's pretty bad right now. I have two options, 1) switch gyms to go to a gym with tumble trak because mine does not have a tumble trak or tramp. or 2) stay at my gym and don't progress Where should i go?

I have been experiencing some heel pain in my left heel after a growth spurt. What is better, KT tape or a brace. Thank you in advance!

Hello all, first post here! Just took my young gymnast(6yo) to the sports medicine doc with heel pain. She recently increased her training hours from 4 to 9 since joining the gyms level 3 team. I was told she is experiencing “severs apophysitis” or basically pain in her growth plate area...

Anyone have any experience with Severs? My daughter was just dx'd yesterday with it.. Basically we were told gel cups and ice and rest.. I read about Tulis Cheetah Heel cups, just curious do you wear one on both feet or just the affected foot? Any tips, suggestions etc I'd love to hear them!

Has anyone had a kiddo with Sever’s disease? If so, I’m curious as to what your treatment path was. DD1 has recently been complaining of pain to the heel/arch area of her foot. She says it is worse when she points her toes and has been pronating her foot when she walks. There is no known...

Hi, My daughter is once again having heel pain from severs. We have heel cups for her shoes, supportive shoes, cheetah cups for when she is in gym. She ices her heel and stretches often. I'm looking for advice on a supportive slipper or birkenstock type shoe that she can wear around the house...

Has anybody had any success from taking oscon to help with severs? My daughter has tried pretty much everything else for the last 2 years! Physio, ice, rest, no rest, x braces, heal cups etc... Any feedback good/bad would be greatly appreciated!

My daughter seems to be going through her major puberty growth spurt right as competition season begins. Heel pain is pretty significant, initially she was limping and there was swelling. She was diagnosed with Severs. We have completely rested- no gym, iced, stretched, for 2 weeks. Swelling is...

Over the last week DD (11) has been complaining of some heel pain. She says it's not too bad (about a 4 on a 1-10 pain scale), but I'm suspecting it could be Sever's and want to do whatever we can to nip it early. Obviously, if it gets worse I'll take her to the doctor, but for now I'm having...

Looking for a sneaker recommendation for gymnasts suffering from Severs or Achilles tendinitis....TIA! Also any recommendations for orthodontic inserts (not custom made). Thank you!!

Has anyone got any tips for severs? my daughter has it back again and is due to trial for a new gym on Tuesday! . She is on crutches and I have bought the cheetah heel support which was recommended for gymnasts but as she dosent walk from heel to toe(she lifts and puts feet flat down!) it is not...

Looking for any feedback on Sole Impact gym socks (previously called the Shock Sox, I believe). Are they slippery? Are they better than the Tuli Cheetah? Would you recommend? https://www.soleimpact.com/shop/#!/Open-Toe-Gymnastic-Sock/c/21681041/offset=0&sort=normal

My DD has Severs pain in one heel-- first time, started a week ago. Her good friend had this a year ago, trained in runners, and the pain went away after two weeks. My DD saw a PT last week who said let pain be her guide. DD says it doesn't hurt to train with the Cheetah Cup, so she is still...

Has anyone tried the Strassburg Sock or any similar contraption for Sever's? It's marketed for plantar fasciitis, but I'm wondering if keeping the foot flexed at night could help lengthen the muscles and tendons that pull on the growth plate in Sever's.

Hi! I suspect my 11 year old dd might have the start of Sever's pain as her heel has been hurting while vaulting. I read through the thread at the top of this forum. It was really helpful. I also read through the protocol that involves massage, stretching, icing, and compression. For those...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering what your experiences with increased training and Severs Disease? As some background. My DD started Rec classes at age 6, when she turned 7 she started complaining of heel and ankle pain which we kind of ignored (I know, I feel horrible) for a while. She also has...

Munch has gotten to the point where she is asking to be casted....She's coming out of practice with A LOT of pain....I just don't think casting is the solution since it will come right back after she's back tumbling.... I am going to give PT a try first. Anyone have ANY experience with PT and...

Not looking for medical advice! DD had her first experience with training pain in January of this year. At the time, she attended a gym with a trainer on staff and he would tape her ankle and off she would go. He didn't diagnose her, just said she has tight ankles (we knew this from her...

PT says my 9-year-old has Sever's, but her coach thinks she is awfully young for it. It sounds logical to me because her feet have been growing more quickly lately, but I am not a medical professional. Is Sever's common at this age, or does it usually crop up later on?

HI all-- I know I need to get medical advice from doctors :) but wanted to see with all other posts about severs, if anyone has a gymnast who had severs but the pain was mostly in the ankles not the heels. DD having severe ankle pain (both ankles) and is limping around-- has not tumbled or done...
