Sever’s disease is another type of traction apophysitis.

🦶All growing children have growth plates, soft areas of cartilage where bone growth occurs, in their heels and at the ends of several other bones.
🦶The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the growth plate in the back of the heel.
🦶Because bones often grow faster than muscle, especially in the bones of the foot, the Achillies heel can be prone to tightness
🦶Sever’s disease occurs when activities like running/jumping cause the already tight Achilles tendon to pull on and irritate the heel bone growth plate.
🦶This causes pain and inflammation in the heel.

Physiotherapists have the knowledge and skill in the management of Traction Apophysitis.
