Addressing Overuse Injuries

Youth Sports Medicine & Orthopedics
Sports-related injuries are increasingly common among children and adolescents, with over 1 million such injuries treated in emergency rooms annually. At One on One Physical Therapy, we recognize that young athletes have unique needs, particularly during growth spurts when their bodies are more susceptible to injuries. Our specialists are well-versed in managing issues related to growth plates and other youth-specific concerns. We stay abreast of the latest treatments for youth sports injuries through ongoing education, ensuring that our young patients receive the best care.
We understand that children and teens are not simply “small adults”; they process information and react differently. Our treatments are tailored to address the social, psychological, and emotional needs of young athletes, incorporating age-appropriate, sports-specific exercises and education into each session.

Running or gait analysis is a specialized service offered at One on One Physical Therapy. This analysis involves a detailed study of body movements, mechanics, and muscle activity to identify and correct abnormalities. Efficient movement is crucial for injury prevention, and our running analysis helps identify biomechanical issues, such as muscular imbalances and structural problems like leg length discrepancies.
By addressing these issues, we help runners of all levels improve their form, prevent injuries, and enhance their overall performance. Our expertise in biomechanics ensures that each athlete receives a personalized plan to optimize their running efficiency and safety.
