Saturday, June 6th @ 11:00 am

Young athletes are susceptible to a variety of sports injuries. While concussions have come into the spotlight in recent years, young athletes and their parents should consider a number of other injuries and conditions when it comes to athlete safety.

Did you know that proper identification and corrective exercises can help to cope with...

• The knee injury susceptibility created when an adolescent female athletes knee is non longer directly below her hip?
• The shift in center of gravity and resulting balance issues associated with rapid growth?
• The diminished coordination that results from rapid arm and leg growth seen in teens?

Why wait for a trip to the ER to diagnose and rehabilitate when a simple screening and corrective exercise prescription could substantially reduce the risk of injury and boost athletic performance.

Join us and learn about common sports injuries and how physical therapy and personal training can boost athletic performance, reduce the risk of injury, and accelerate rehabilitation should an injury occur.
