Understanding Osgood Schlatter

Osgood-Schlatter Syndrome is a common condition among adolescents, particularly those who are active in sports. It's characterized by inflammation and pain in the area just below the knee, where the patellar tendon attaches to the shinbone (tibia). This condition typically occurs during periods of rapid growth, when the bones, muscles, and tendons are undergoing significant changes.

Symptoms can include:

  • Pain and tenderness below the kneecap, particularly during physical activity or when climbing stairs.

  • Swelling and inflammation over the tibial tubercle (the bony bump just below the knee).

  • Tightness and stiffness in the quadriceps muscles.

  • Difficulty bending or straightening the knee fully.

Our Services

  • Our skilled physical therapists will use hands-on techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mobility.

  • We'll create a personalized exercise program tailored to your specific needs and goals. These exercises will focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving flexibility, and correcting any biomechanical issues that may be contributing to your symptoms.

  • As your symptoms improve, we'll work with you to gradually reintroduce physical activity and sports in a safe and controlled manner. Our goal is to get you back to doing what you love without fear of pain or injury.

  • We believe that knowledge is power when it comes to managing Osgood-Schlatter Syndrome. We'll educate you about the condition, its causes, and strategies for preventing flare-ups. We'll also provide guidance on modifying activities to reduce stress on the knee joint.

“We just completed a 90 day therapy treatment for my 9 year old son and we absolutely loved it. He actually looked forward to going in which is such a joy for a parent. We would very much recommend this company! It's a small business which makes the experience feel personal, and the customer service was excellent!!” -Joana S.

“I highly recommend Premier for any athletes, especially those who are competitive and dedicated to their sport. Don't go to a generic physical therapy facility. Go see Greg and Kaitlyn if you want to get back to playing. My entire family including my two kids have seen them for various injuries. Their personalized approach to treatment ensures that each athlete receives tailored care designed to meet their specific needs and goals. More than that, it's really like we are family to them. Our family has benefited immensely from their care, and I have no doubt that others will too.” -Aaron
