Ankles and knees hurting

[Anonymous]

NP. Our child is going through the same thing and the sports orthopedist and PT will recommend exercises to strengthen different muscle groups along the whole leg that will create more stability in the ankles and knees.

They really help.

My ds had horrible pains at 8/9 from buying cheaper cleats and I had to start buying expensive ones which made an immediate overnight difference.

What do more expensive cleats do/have? Do you recommend a brand?? What is an example cheap cleat price vs example expensive? I’m sorry we are fairly new to all this.

I don't think it's an expensive versus cheap cleats issue but you do have to make sure the cleats fit. If they don't fit right the child and the feet are sliding around or if they are too tight they may cause the child to be landing on her foot in a way that creates extra pressure in the wrong places.

Try insoles, take away some of the impact
