Supportive podiatry care to help active children recover safely and stay confident in sport.
Sports injuries in children and adolescents affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones of the foot and lower limb. These injuries may occur suddenly from falls or twists, or gradually from repetitive loading and growth-related changes.
Because children’s bodies are still developing, growth plates and soft tissues can be more sensitive to stress. Early assessment helps prevent minor injuries from becoming long-term problems.
At Norwest Podiatry, we assess how movement patterns, footwear, training load, and growth stage influence injury risk and recovery.
