Heel pain in young athletes 🦶🏼
A condition called Severs Disease is a common cause of heel pain in young athletes. Inflammation of the growth plates in the calcaneus (heel bone) is caused by a combination of rapid skeletal growth and traction forces from the Achilles tendon.
Dr Michael Benporath has used the black Dynamic Tape Eco to offload the Achilles tendon and provide a compressive force around the back of the calcaneus to reduce heel pain during sporting activity.
This taping technique should only be performed by trained healthcare professionals. It's vital that if your child is experiencing heel pain during sport that they get assessed and diagnosed by your healthcare provider.
