Back to Sports for Teens and Young Athletes

September comes around quickly after the summer months and for many families this means a return to the pitch side, the running track or the dance floor. A lot of youth sport and activities for young people will resume this time of year after some time off and we will also see training and matches return to a greater intensity for GAA at a youth level as well as Rugby season kicking off.

Young athletes can experience injuries acutely as a result of trauma for example after a tackle or a fall, running or jumping (e.g. sprains, muscle strains and fractures) as well as over time through overuse or changes in training ( e.g bone stress injuries) .

Here are some tips in regard to things that commonly come up in clinic.
