JointCare Helps Prevent Sports Injuries

Health & Wellness The Newsletter About Your Health And Caring For Your Body

PLAY BALL! JointCare helps you prevent and recover from sports injuries! The weather is slowly changing and athletes everywhere are eager to get back outside and back on the field. It is estimated that over 30 million children will be participating in sports this spring, but with sports activities comes sports injuries. A study done in 2015 discovered that nearly 1 in 10 kids under the age of 14 will experience an injury during the season, with about half of those injuries being overuse injuries. Due to the unique motion involved in throwing, baseball players and their shoulders seem to suffer the most. We’ve treated a number of little league players in our area, with a majority of them being pitchers. The BAD news about overuse injuries is that they are likely to continue occurring without proper education and treatment. The GOOD news is that physical therapy can help! Learning how injuries happen, what they look like, where they’re occurring, and what can be done to avoid them is key to helping kids stay on the field. At JointCare Physical Therapy, we can help you with all of those things. One of our licensed manual physical therapists will evaluate your injury and come up with a plan geared toward getting you back to the game you love in a safe and healthy way! Recently, our owner Jonathan DiLauri gave a presentation to the parents and coaches of the Florham Park Little League about the specific exercises and routines to help kids prevent overuse injuries. To learn more, please contact us for your FREE 15-minute consultation and best of luck to all our athletes this spring!
