CHILDREN’S CLINIC

BENOWA PODIATRY CHILDREN’S CLINIC

As parents with children in a plethora of sports (from Rugby Union, Netball to even Tennis and Rowing) at a variety of different levels, we know only too well the risk excessive training and participation in sports can have on our young people. We like to be proactive when it comes to our children by ensuring the very best care is available as and when required, even preventative care if possible.

Common conditions like Severs (Heel Pain) & Osgood Schlatter’s (Knee Pain) are rife in young children in high impact sports from excessive amounts of running and jumping. It is difficult to slow highly active and sports driven children down, especially when it becomes apparent that continued use is making a bad situation worse.

ADVICE TO PARENTS

Our children will often not listen to sound advice when it is received from their mum or dad (especially when they become teenagers, because they always know best). They will however listen to advice if it is given to them by their coach or even their allied health professional. Children as young as 10 often understand the need to rest and recover when they are training in a more elite environment, as they have strong support networks around them which often includes paid professionals across their chosen sport. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for all children.
