Flat feet?: From a podiatric perspective that's what i'd look at. Other possibilities could include juvenile arthritic conditions.

Tightness of muscles: If your daughter is going into the period of rapid grow it may just be "growing pains" that is where the skeleton grows at a faster rate then the muscle can keep up with and may last for several years , responding to stretching and assurance. Best to have your daughter be check out by a doctor if it is a problem and possibly see a rheumatology if there are other symptoms elsewhere.
