Pediatric Sports Medicine is an important part of health care. Children who engage in activities like soccer, karate, and skateboarding may have acute injuries such as broken bones, sprains, and dislocations. Many times chronic stress injuries occur, such as fractures, tendinitis, and apophysitis. Examples are Little Leaguer's Elbow, Osgood-Schlatter's disease of the knee, and Sever's Disease of the foot. Treatment of these injuries is usually simple and seldom requires surgery.

This depends on the type and severity of the injury, but proper care and treatment can dramatically affect the amount of time lost. Fortunately, most sports injuries are minor, and when treated properly with RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) initially, heal within a week or two. Regardless of how mild an injury is thought to be initially, if it does not consistently improve with RICE over the first two or three days, a physician or certified athletic trainer should evaluate it.

Of course a doctor's approval is recommended before returning to your normal exercise routine. YogaStretch can be therapeutic for certain muscular conditions. A program can be designed around an injury by using certain modifications and by encouraging flexibility/strength around the area of concern.

The ice pack should be applied directly to the injury site, wrapped in place with mild compression, and the injured part should be elevated above the level of the heart of if possible.

Yes. Sports massage is proven to reduce recovery time, sometimes dramatically, by shortening the time it takes for injuries to heal, and makes the after effects "better". Sports Massage reduces the swelling and edema associated with soft tissue injuries. After a serious injury, Sports Massage helps form strong pliable scar tissue instead of the usual random stiff scar tissue, so that range of motion and tissue extensibility are maintained.
