Summary
There is a variety of exercises against Osgood Schlatter’s disease. Many of them can also be done at home on your own. In the early stages of the disease, the first line of exercises involves stretching the quadriceps femoris, our thigh extensor, and relaxing the muscle attachments through targeted stretching exercises (e.g. with Blackroll).
Later on, active strength training with Thera bands or equipment supported by machines will also play an important role in the therapy. In addition to the knee joint, the muscles of the hip should also be taken into consideration, since malpositions in this joint can also lead to additional strain on the knee.
