Supporting children and teens through growth and injury
HOWÂ WE CANÂ HELPÂ YOU
During periods of rapid growth, children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to injuries. The reasons for the high incidence of injuries are varied and include factors such as inadequate warm-up, reduced strength and flexibility, as well as poor skill and technique. Studies suggest that up to 50% of injuries sustained by children could be prevented.
