PEDIATRIC SPORTS REHAB KEEPING YOUR KIDS HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND ACTIVE
INJURIES
March Madness is here once again, and fans of all ages are excited to watch one of the most highly anticipated tournaments of the year. All that basketball watching also inspires kids to get out and show off their own moves. However, in all the excitement, accidents can happen, and injuries can occur. If your child is injured, the physical therapists at M3 are here to help them return to the game in no time. Our pediatric therapists treat children who suffer from a variety of sports- related injuries and have the experience to guide them to a full recovery. THE ROLE OF A PEDIATRIC THERAPIST When a child is injured, their injuries will be different from an adult’s. Because of the difference in physiology and anatomy, physical therapy treatments vary. For example, a child can suffer injuries to growth plates, while adults cannot, since they no longer have any. Pediatric therapists spend years studying these differences. They know the best treatment the child may need to increase their mobility and regain their strength to get back to normal.
A pediatric therapist can diagnose, treat, and manage multiple sports injuries or health problems that kids suffer. Here is a list of a few injuries pediatric PTs treat:
•
Dislocations
• Sprains and strains
• Concussions
•
Exercise-induced asthma
• Overuse injuries
•
Minor avulsions and fractures
•
Nutrition and supplement issues
We understand how important it is for your kid to enjoy their life to the fullest. While an injury may have your kid sitting on the sidelines for a while, it doesn’t mean they’ll have to give up their active life. Call M3 PT today to find out how our physical therapists can get your kid back out on the court.
