About this episode
Neil Crawford discusses Osgood-Schlatter disease with physical therapist Jason Goumas, focusing on its impact on young soccer players and parental guidance.
Your kid comes off the field holding their knee. You've heard them say it before — my knees are killing me. But this time, something feels different. In this episode of The Inside Scoop, Neil Crawford sits down with Jason Goumas — physical therapist and founder of New Direction Wellness & PT — to break down one of the most common and most misunderstood conditions affecting young soccer players: Osgood-Schlatter disease. Jason explains what it actually is, why soccer players are hit harder than any other sport, and the signs parents need to watch for during their child's growth spurts. He also tackles the question every parent faces — should your kid play through the pain or stop completely? If your child has ever complained about knee pain after practice or a game, this conversation could change how you handle it. 🔗 Learn more about Jason: newdirectionwpt.com/blog
