Signs Your Child May Need Sports Rehab

If your child has any of the following, it may be time for a physical therapy evaluation:

• Pain that won’t go away after practice or games

• Recurring injuries or discomfort in the same area

• Swelling, stiffness, or reduced mobility

• Difficulty keeping up with teammates due to pain or weakness

• Limping or favoring one side of the body

Early intervention is key! Waiting too long can lead to longer recovery times and more severe injuries.
