Team Elite Physiotherapy

These medical strengthening machines allows for children to develop the strength, recover from injuries and prevent injuries in a safe and supervised environment. It is giving kids the fundamental physical and emotional skills to participate in a range of athletic pursuits. Such strength and biomechanical training can improve individual performance in nearly any sport with increased strength, power, co-ordination and endurance. Other such improvements include prevention of sports related injuries, strengthening of children’s bones, improvement in children’s confidence and self-esteem. Early identification and modification of training programs can ensure early return to sport and minimize time lost from sport. By load management and a tailored strength and conditioning program we are able to prevent injuries before they happen in the first place. In regards to injury prevention and strength and conditioning there is no minimum age. The programs are tailored to the age and physical level of the child, however the child must be of an age and maturity to follow directions and understand the reasons for such exercises. This generally is around the age of 8 however children do develop at different rates both physically, mentally and emotionally which is not necessarily linked to their chronological age.
