Types of Youth Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can typically be placed into two categories: acute or overuse. Acute injuries are caused by a single specific incident, such as a sprain, strain, fracture, or tear. Overuse injuries are caused by inefficient, unbalanced repetitive movements over time.
Once protocol allows, our team will take you through a rigorous return to sport program to ensure that you are physically ready and confident to return with as minimized risk of re-tear as possible. Get ready for sessions filled with sport specific drills like sprinting, cutting, dribbling, passing, and more!
