Sports-related injuries in young athletes are often the result of insufficient knowledge and poor decisions made by parents, players, coaches and others. With an understanding of the basic science and the differences in youth vs. adults, many of these injuries can be prevented. When injuries do occur, it is critical that rehabilitation and performance professionals are equipped with evaluation, treatment and conditioning strategies to help restore strength and function to prevent further injury in the young athlete.
Participants in this one day seminar will examine common sports-related injuries in pediatric clients. You will learn how and why these injuries occur as well as assessment, prevention and treatment strategies. Participants will identify activities specifically for the throwing, swinging, kicking and running athlete to help improve core stability and restore strength and mobility following injury. You will also learn how to develop conditioning programs to help improve performance and decrease the risk of injury. You will leave the seminar with an abundance of knowledge and tools to help you better serve the young client -- in training, "on the field" or in the clinic.
