Growing Pains are a concern for most teenagers, pre-teens and their parents.
As a rule growing pains
are poorly understood and often brushed aside as something that you must
go through during adolescence. This is not necessarily true. In fact,
most "growing pains" can be eliminated or at least eased with some quality care and attention.
What Causes "Growing Pains"?
A very common time to suffer "growing pains" is when your bones are quickly lengthening.As a consequence, your muscles also have to lengthen to keep a normal "muscle length tension ratio". Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen naturally. If your muscles do not lengthen adequately, it results in an increasing muscular tension pulling on the soft bone growth plates.
Commonly we find that those kids who suffer "growing pains" have excessively tight muscles that cause their pain.
