Youth Sports Injury Education

    Youth and parental education on sports injuries and injury prevention is imperative in this day and age.  There has been an explosion of year round youth sports and this has come with a huge price tag.  The amount of youth sports injuries is on the rise and many of these injuries are non-contact and overuse in nature and, therefore,  100% avoidable.  If you are a coach or a parent, seek out professionals in the area of sports medicine and strength and conditioning.  Many of these individuals will put on a free seminar for the team or coaches and share their expertise.  At Breakthrough Physical Therapy we offer free AIR (Athletic Injury Risk)  screens for any young athlete that is interested.  As therapists, we feel it is our job to help prevent some of the injuries that occur in youth sports and decrease a child's or adolescent's risk of missing out on a season or worse having surgery.  If you are a professional, reach out to the community and offer your knowledge.  Together, we can drastically decrease the amount of youth injuries.
