Physiotherapy for Heel Pain in Children (Sever's Disease)
Does your child complain of heel pain after running or playing sports? Is the pain worse after football, cricket, or jumping activities? Have they started limping or avoiding physical activity? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for your child's heel pain? It could be Sever's disease, a common condition in growing children.
Why Does Sever's Disease Occur?
Sever's disease is caused by irritation of the growth plate at the back of the heel. It commonly affects active children between 8 and 15 years of age, especially during growth spurts. Tight calf muscles, repetitive running, and jumping sports can increase stress on the heel.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain while allowing a safe return to activity. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Calf stretching exercises
β’ Foot and ankle strengthening
β’ Balance and coordination training
β’ Activity modification
β’ Footwear and heel support advice
What You Can Try at Home
Encourage supportive footwear, avoid excessive running during painful periods, apply ice after sports if advised, stretch the calf muscles regularly, and gradually return to activities as symptoms improve.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised paediatric physiotherapy to reduce heel pain, restore mobility, and help children return to sports safely.
