HOW TO MASSAGE CHRONIC OSGOOD SCHLATTER- Massage your child at home

Massage can be a helpful treatment for Chronic Osgood-Schlatter disease, as well as light massage over the tuberosity to help decrease the swelling during the early stages. Massage to the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh can help to relax the muscle and this reduces the tension and force of the attachment to the tibial tuberosity, which is where the inflammation and pain are located with this condition.

Heat is an effective treatment for Osgood-Schlatters when applied to the tight muscles, as it can help with muscle relaxation and to reduce tension. However, for more immediate pain relief, ice is more commonly used directly to the point of pain at the tibial tuberosity to numb the area and provide relief from symptoms.
