Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 dear Marilette! My daughter is 12 years old, and has been growing very fast the last months. I have been treating her hurting knees with PH but it didn`t get much better. Her Doctor says, the knees are instabile because of growing so fast.Could you please give me some advise how to treat her? Saltbathing is not her favourite thing to do....I have done PH- advanced. Thank you very much!! ================================================== Dear Pippiwenen, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Children of all ages often feel anterior knee pain. It is most common during periods of rapid growth (generally young adolescents), or with increased sports participation. It is more common in girls than in boys. There are many causes for the pain. Children can feel hip pain at the knee, this is called referred pain. This means the doctor must check the hips and the knees. The problem in most cases is a mechanical one, with the bones and tendons in front of the knee being subject to increased stress. This happens because the muscles don't grow as fast as the bones do. The muscles are trying to stretch to catch up to the bones. This can increase the tension used to straighten the knee. Some children feel the pain or stress at the patella (kneecap), others feel it just below in the tendon connecting the patella to the tibia (shinbone). Others feel it at the connection itself called the tibial tuberosity. There may be a little swelling. The pain does not cause any structural damage. It is safe for the child to continue playing sport and put up with the discomfort. The pain usually disappears completely when the child stops growing, or becomes a little less active. Despite the concern it causes the patient and the family, most cases get better with physiotherapy. A stretching and exercise program can reduce the pain. It is very important that the exercises to rebuild the quadriceps muscles are not painful. Squatting and stair climbing can cause pain in a moderately severe case, and should be avoided. Simple quadriceps contractions or straight leg raises are best early in the rehabilitation phase. Sometimes an elastic knee guard gives some relief of the symptoms. The physiotherapist may also choose to tape the knee. The vast majority of children with patella pain will improve with a physiotherapy and home exercise program. Sports participation can be maintained with these exercises. Pranic Healing: 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. General sweeping. 3. Localized thorough sweeping on the affected areas of the knees and the knee minor chakras alternately with LWG and LWO. 4. Energize them with LWB for localizing effect and to soothe the pain. 5. Energize the affected parts with light whitish orange-red then with light whitish orange-yellow. 6. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic and the navel chakras. Energize them with LWR. 7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra. Energize with white. 8. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy. 9. Repeat treatment 3 times per week until needed.
