Sports and growing
Physical therapy for tweens and teens who play sports or are growing fast, from the first easy practice back to full play.
This care is for you if
An injury kept them out of practice and they want to return
Coordination seems to lag behind a growth spurt
Their back or knees ache after a long day or a game
The backpack, the desk or the bus seat is a daily struggle
What a visit looks like
What we do
Your therapist checks how your child moves, builds strength and control, and plans the return to sport one step at a time. Sedrick Nance and Sunil Bhatia see most tweens and teens.
What decides how many visits
What your therapist finds, what your child enjoys and how your child responds. Your therapist talks it through with you and goes over the plan as you go.
Who treats your child
A physical therapist, and sometimes a physical therapist assistant under their direction. The first visit is about an hour.
Meet the teamHow it is paid for
With your plan or by paying yourself. We tell you what to expect before the first visit.

Questions about this care
Should we see the pediatrician first after an injury?
If your child was hurt, has a swollen joint or cannot put weight on a leg, see their doctor first. Bring any notes to the first visit.
Do you see teens on their own?
A parent or guardian comes to the first visit. After that, we talk with your teen about their goals and agree with you on how involved you want to be.
