Question
Can children exercise during growth pain periods?
Answer
During growth pain periods, children can engage in moderate exercise. However, excessive and intense physical activities should be avoided to reduce the pressure on growth plates. At the same time, supplementing with calcium and vitamin D is quite important for alleviating growth pain and promoting bone health. This can be achieved through balanced diet and appropriate calcium supplements. Additionally, gentle massage and heat therapy can also help relieve the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination and treatment.
