Youth & Kids Sports Injuries
Article by John Miller

Why Do You Need To Take Youth & Kids Sports Injuries Seriously?

40% of all youth (children, teenager and adolescent) injuries are sports-related. Overall, male and female injury rates are becoming equal due to a gradually increasing female participation rate. Injuries related to sports participation fall into two types of trauma:

Macro (due to a single traumatic event eg fracture) and
Micro (due to repetitive overuse trauma).

Injuries in the young athlete are often trivialised. They are usually asked or encouraged to "toughen up and play through the pain." This approach is not in the young athlete's best interest for the following reasons:

It often leads to delayed healing and return to sports,
It can turn an easily treatable injury into one that becomes difficult to treat and
In some cases, it can result in a permanent injury that precludes sports participation.

An Accurate Diagnosis is Essential

In most cases, your physiotherapist can make the diagnosis via the injury history and performing a physical examination. The adolescent's age, s*x, and level of participation in sports are important. A description of how the injury occurred is valuable. Your physiotherapist will want to know if there was a "pop," swelling, history of previous injury, family history of similar injury, locking or giving way, or other signs or symptoms.

While special tests can be helpful, in certain circumstances an accurate diagnosis can be made 90% of the time by taking a good history and performing a systematic examination of the injured joint.
Tips for Parents and Coaches

Most overuse injuries, such as stress fractures and tendonitis, are preventable. If your child suffers any overuse injury, the first choice of treatment is rest until a medical opinion can be sought.

In young athletes, this means avoiding the activity that is causing the problem, or reducing the intensity, until the discomfort resolves. Bed rest or immobilisation are rarely needed.

Allow kids to play at their own intensity and pace.
Encourage your child to start getting in shape and conditioning a month before any team sports are to begin.
Emphasise stretching and flexibility exercises.
Make sure fields are in reasonably good condition and that protective equipment fits correctly (helmets, shoulder pads, shin guards, etc.).

Adolescents have a lot of enjoyable sporting years ahead of them. It would be a shame to see this enjoyment ended too soon. When in doubt, seek expert medical advice. It's better to be safe than sorry. In general, kids are motivated to play sports because it is fun. Parents and coaches who demand too much may be putting their children at risk.

Hi everyone the practice is going in to a slightly different direction again.
I will no longer be using the machines but will be concentrating on hands on, one on one basis.
I accept medical aids as well as cash though the cash price is significantly less than the medical aid rates

To all the young sportsmen and their parents that are struggling to get their children back on the field my first evaluation is R300 which includes a treatment session and if after 3 session there is not at a 50% improvement then the last session is free,
I also speak with coaches if this is needed. especially at school level.

We are well into winter season and the pants are a bit tighter and the shirts are just not that comfortable. Start now for summer and that beautiful bikini. Pressotherapy sessions only R250 an hour session and after 4 sessions you get one free.

For the ladies that want to lose a few centimetres.
Pressotherapy is an exclusive detoxifying treatment, which through effective lymphatic drainage, helps to promote the body's natural toxin clearing functions. The lymphatic system is responsible for helping fluid and waste leave the body and for regulating the immune system.
By stimulating this system through massage, it works more efficiently, which in turn boosts the immune system, clears blockages, eliminates toxins, transports nutrients to cells and increases the metabolism.
Pressotherapy is a painless, non-invasive detoxifying treatment. This is a revolutionary process that promotes the body’s natural functions and is a technique with a physiotherapeutic origin, widely used in vascular treatment for the drainage of the lower limbs. It is an excellent means of treatment for oedematous cellulite in the lower limbs.
In addition to being used for cosmetic purposes to smooth the texture of the skin, pressotherapy may also be implemented as an option for certain medical conditions. People who have medical conditions that cause poor blood circulation, such as hypertension or diabetes, may have the therapy performed to attempt to promote better blood flow. Proper blood flow can help relieve numbness or pain in the limbs and prevent skin discoloration from lack of blood flow.
Pressotherapy treatment is applied by means of special cuffs for legs, arms, waist and thighs. A computer controlled compression system inflates individual sections of a special multi-chambered garment, forcing toxins and fatty deposits into the circulatory system. This enhances extra-cellular fluid clearance, increasing venous flow (blood flow to the heart). The toxins are then naturally flushed by the body through the lymphatic system.
Normally, one pressotherapy session lasts about 30 minutes (45 minutes maximum). It is recommended to undertake such sessions 3-4 times a week for several weeks. But to get individual therapy plan and to know special features in your particular case, we strongly recommend to consult a doctor.
Pressotherapy aids local circulation, decrease swelling, muscle tension, stress, pain, dilates vessels, aids in venous return, increases perfusion or the flow of blood in the tissues, provides a physiological replacement for the plantar pump, the muscle pump and the elastic activity of the vein wall. Compression from the outside also allows more excessive interstitial fluid to return to the circulatory system. The revitalization and oxygenation of the tissue helps to slim and redefine the legs, stomach and arms while enhancing skin tone. Pressotherapy is also useful for the treatment of cellulitis and is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
Circulatory System: Pressure massage can improve the circulation of blood throughout the body increasing oxygen. Helps remove metabolic waste and can be beneficial in decreasing blood pressure.
Lymphatic System: Pressotherapy can help increase lymph circulation, aids in the elimination of metabolic wastes, stimulates the immune system, and enhance Endermologie treatment of lymphatic drainage.
Muscular System: Massage stimulates and tones muscles and joints, and strengthens connective tissues. Aids in relaxation, relieves fatigue and provides relief from muscle spasms. The massage stimulates motor nerve points, alleviates stress and tension, and promotes a feeling a well-being.
Skin Toning: Massage increases the supply of blood to the skin nourishing tissues and thus facilitating cell regeneration.
