Flexibility: Generally a problem in actively growing kids....The first line is optimizing hamstring flexibility as well as symptomatic treatment with ice. If not good enough, have it checked as it might be a more severe variation.

Individuals with osgood schlatter may partipate in activity to limits of pain tolerance without concern.
