Osgood Schlatter is a common pain young athletes have in their knees. It is often due to the patellar tendon getting over stressed/over used/loaded. Young athletes are often affected because they are growing and playing a lot of change in direction and jumping sports. As they grow, the muscles are often behind in strength to tolerate how much stress the now longer body is becoming.
MAT can help with this problem. I had a young athlete come in with knee pain from basketball tryouts and practice intensifying. He had a lot of muscles that were not firing well. Before the session we did 1-leg squats and there was immediate knee pain. After the session he was able to do them without pain. All because the body was better communication and using the muscles he has! #
