The body of the competitive athlete is continually put under strain. Ideally, an athlete’s body should always be able to perform at optimal levels. This, however, is not always true. Due to the repetitive actions involved in certain sports, it is common to see overuse of some muscles with subsequent underuse of others. This can often lead to injury if not attended to in a timely manner. In the case of the young athlete, it is even more important to identify any issues as quickly as possible.
