Sports Medicine Center
for Young Athletes
| Sports Medicine Conference 12/11/10 Hot Topics in Sports Medicine for Coaching the Young Athlete An incredible day of education & break-out sessions on "Hot Topics in Sports Medicine for Coaching the Young Athlete." This is a unique and highly specialized day of learning about sports medicine concepts in training & coaching the young athlete. At the end our conference, you will be able to immediately implement the latest injury awareness/prevention & sports performance concepts into your current programs. |
Young athletes should be managed differently from adult athletes:
- Growing bones and cartilage are susceptible to injuries unlike those of a skeletally mature athlete.
- Overuse injuries in young athletes can lead to disability that extends into adulthood.
- As young athletes become increasingly skilled and competitive, the injury rates and significance increase.
That’s why we have developed a program offering young athletes a one-of-a-kind resource for sports injury care and prevention.
The Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes is the first sports medicine program in Northern California to work exclusively with young athletes.
- Our pediatric sports medicine specialists have extensive knowledge and experience in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries in children and adolescents.
- We
offer young athletes the most current and comprehensive medical care and educational programming available.
- It is our objective to facilitate not only the return to the enjoyment of sports quickly, but also safely.
