They address the research and how physical therapy can be up to 90% effective when addressing Osgood Schlatter. They hone in on how you can modulate activity, which exercises you could implement into your warm-ups and cool-downs that might be effective, and how a progression to single-leg dynamic work and explosive movement may be the journey to optimal rehabilitation!
