Sports injuries that cause a bruise or sprain in adults can
be a serious injury for your child because it can damage the
growth plate. Growth plates are the areas of developing
cartilage where bone growth occurs in children. These areas
are weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons and much
more susceptible to injury.

Injuries in children require a greater focus on improving gross
and fine motor skills, balance and coordination, strength and
endurance as well as cognitive and sensory processing. Our
physical therapists are specially trained to help children with
these kind of injuries recover.

sports medicine and physical therapy clinic in the region that’s
