Not Just "Small Adults": Mastering the Adolescent Athlete

 A 2-part masterclass series on ACL and Patellofemoral Pain rehabilitation, designed for the unique physiological and psychological needs of the developing athlete.

The Challenge of the Growing Athlete

Treating a 14-year-old as if they are a 24-year-old is a recipe for clinical frustration and potential re-injury. From the risk of growth plate interference to the socioemotional impact of being sidelined, adolescent rehabilitation requires a specialised lens.

Meet Your Instructor

Led by a highly experienced specialist physiotherapist, this series bridges the gap between traditional adult protocols and the nuanced reality of paediatric care. Learn how to navigate skeletal maturation, neurocognitive loading, and the vital "first contact" in adolescent pain management.
