Growing Pains
Description
Growing pains, also known as musculoskeletal pain, are commonly described as a dull ache or throbbing sensation in the legs, typically in the front of the thighs, calves, or behind the knees. These pains often occur at night and may even interrupt a child's sleep. Despite their name, growing pains are not associated with a child's growth and the exact cause is unknown. However, the frequency of the pain varies, with episodes coming and going, rather than occurring every day. Massage therapy can be helpful in relieving the discomfort of growing pains by soothing tired and achy muscles and therefore, help reduce the frequency and severity of growing pains.
