⚽🏏🎾 With the new school year comes the return of PE lessons, after-school clubs,
weekend matches. While sport is fantastic for children’s health, fitness, and confidence, it can also lead to aches, strains, or minor injuries, especially after a long summer break!
Common issues we see in young people include:
👉 Sprains and strains from sudden bursts of activity
👉 Postural changes from growth spurts
👉 Overuse injuries from repetitive sports training
Osteopathy can support children and teens by:
✨ Relieving muscle tension and joint stiffness
✨ Encouraging healthy posture and movement during growth
✨ Helping the body recover safely from minor injuries
If your child is starting the school term with a new sport—or returning to one after the holidays, keep an eye out for any complaints of pain or stiffness. Early support can make all the difference in keeping them active, happy, and confident on the pitch.
Book an appointment this September to help your child get the best start to the school year, both in the classroom and on the field.
