Yep, stretching out the calves and hammies will go a long way to help. Similarly, strengthening the muscles of the plantar foot and balance work.

Barefoot may help in time once it calms down like Osgood Schlatter’s does. If it’s active I bet she won’t want to do anything regardless because of the pain.

Hey Steven,

I followed a link from the CF discussion board to this article. Good stuff. I have passed the link on to several parents from my daughter’s soccer team.

My daughter (age 12) suffers from Sever’s disease in her left heel. The recommended treatment is conservative – ice, stretching and padded shoes. She wears Superfeet inserts in her cleats. Much of her pain is caused by her calf muscle pulling on the growth plate in her heel, but I was wondering if a gradual introduction to barefoot walking/running might help her by strengthening the muscles in her feet and lower legs. What do you think?

Thanks!
