Our user asked: "WHAT ARE THE BEST EXERCISES FOR A 9 YEAR OLD BOY W/ SEVERS DISEASE?"

Ask a PT Response: "Usually for children with Sever's disease a good stretching program is essential with a focus on the heel cord and calf. Ice and orthotics are incorporate as well. Here is a link to an informative handout with exercises for Sever's Disease: http://chortho.com/pdf/sever-disease-brochure.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://chortho.com/pdf/sever-disease-brochure.pdf . If his condition doesn't improve, it may be a good idea to have him work with a PT to address this issue."
