Found this helpful. My U13/rising U14 daughter sent this link to me We are newer to the soccer world.
DS presently in PT for OSgood Schlatter's and they are teaching her extension exercises. (Just rest and ice and over the counter pain meds have not helped reduce injury nor pain. ) I understand this is developmental injury....but she has had enough pain that she does not/cannot kick the ball hard and speed of play is effected. I hope to prevent injury/ACL issues later... Hope this helps some one...this article is not just about resting the legs but improving the strength of the body's extensors... https://www.osgoodschlatters.net/post/the-secret-to-curing-osgood-schlatter-disease?gclid=CjwKCAjwo4mIBhBsEiwAKgzXOLhGqHfLooIwVXEXiqbO-RV7UURZcJAMPPn6tthYrpAaa0ffiIdrWBoCcUwQAvD_BwE |

My son suffered from Osgood-schlatter when he was around U13/U14. It affected him terribly. He had it in both knees. We did ice, pain meds, and physical therapy. It was a horrible soccer year for him. Some days he was fine and some days he could barely walk/kick. Physical therapy helped him the most. Fast-forward a few years later, he's almost 6 feet tall now and continues to play with no pain. |

Osgood Schlatters mainly needs time. The exercises didn't make a whole lot of difference (if any) for my DS. Sometimes he could play, and then he did. Sometimes (more often) he couldn't. It lasted around eighteen months and he basically lost an entire season's worth of games during that period. |

| My kids both play(ed) soccer and tons of kids get this. In my experience nothing helped but time and rest. And my youngest son had it really bad. |
