The adolescent years are such a significant part of life with many physical, social and emotional changes. During this time, growth and development occurs, body shape and movement pattern changes, strength and performance develops. This means that adolescent injuries are often unique.
Some of the injuries seen unique to older children and adolescence include growth related injuries. Hypermobility can sometimes be seen particularly in adolescent years and can present as pain, sprains and instability of joints.
Physiotherapy can be effective in assessing, treating and providing guidance on the right sporting load and return to activity. We help through exercise, movement quality and technique, education, and load management.
It is important to note that there are some presentations of injuries during these years that require urgent imaging or referral. Thorough assessment and understanding of these injuries, the team at Hobart Physio Co can help guide you in getting the right care.
