How To Treat Osgood-Schlatter Disease

Engage In Cross-Training

Patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease may engage in cross-training to help not only reduce pain and strengthen the body but also improve blood flow and reduce inflammation. Cross-training can be especially helpful for individuals involved in running and running based sports. It involves focusing on two or more areas of physical activity (for example cardio and strengthening) to give the body a thorough and complete workout. For example, runners can engage in cross-training activities such as swimming or kayaking. Cross-training also gives the body a chance to heal from repetitive movement such as running. Research indicates cross-training can reduce recovery times considerably.
