My child is 14 years old and he can't touch his toes when he stands up. he can only reach a few centimeters below his kneecap, he does sports all the time and his tightness is a disadvantage to his sport games, what should he do?

Discuss with your pediatrician at a routine checkup. Practicing a good warmup routine can also help improve hamstring flexibility. Physical therapy may help, or a sports medicine specialist if available.
