Many adolescents suffer from knee pain for several years. The pain impacts both sporting activities and quality of life. “We can see from (a new) study that one in three young people between the ages of 12 and 19 experience problems with pain in their knees. Seven percent of the adolescents experience daily knee pain in the front of the knee,” says a physiotherapist. “More than half still have problems after two years, so it is not something they necessarily grow out of.”
