My son started puberty at 8.5 years old with his rapid growth spurts we have found out he has Lumbar Lordosis, mild lumbar/thoracic curvature of the spine and now yesterday a hip xray found he has Coxa Valga

He has always hated driving in a car for too long prefers lying down and has been quite the sloth the last 8 months had him regularly in front of a physio, exercise physiologist and podiatrist they all missed his pain equalled the hip issue his biggest pain is standing and walking wearing shoes or bare feet

He was pushed to exercise & move regardless of pain now I don't want him to move for pain and aggravation.

Can anyone shed any light on to what lies ahead for him please? We would appreciate as much help as possible.

Thanks
