• We have vast experience in treating adolescents
• Being on-site means we can speak easily with your coaches and teachers if necessary to ensure your activity levels are managed as you return from injury.
• As we are on-site, we often see your injury acutely on the sports field, in the clinic and follow you right through to getting back to training and to full activity again.
• We are great at education! Whether this is your first injury or you’ve had a few, we can let you know what you’ve done, how you can get better, what you can do to prevent re-injury and how to improve your performance.
• We have a close network of sports physicians, orthopaedic specialists, podiatrists and nutritionists that we work with for an integrated approach to your care and we can refer quickly when this is necessary.
