Youth athletes aren't small adults
Growth plates, year-round seasons, and single-sport specialization create injuries that generic PT misses — Little League shoulder and elbow, throwing-arm pain, knee and heel growth-plate issues.
Rest alone doesn't fix the mechanics that caused the problem. We do.
