Tissues of children and adolescents are different so can take longer to recover. If you have a child or teen that regularly complains of sore knees, hips, ankles or tendons then they need an assessment that considers their entire weekly training and sporting loads.

Strength testing to determine if they are strong enough and a recovery plan to help them avoid aches and pains.
