Elite Athlete On the Field

Keeping young athletes strong, resilient and on the field

Sport-specific injury prevention programs for young athletes competing at a high level, at our Irvine clinic.

Why it matters

Why injury prevention matters for youth athletes

Young athletes are training harder, competing more often and specializing earlier. That combination raises the risk of:

  • Overuse injuries, such as stress fractures or tendonitis
  • Growth plate problems
  • Muscle imbalances
  • ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries and other joint injuries

A proactive approach

Programs are built around your athlete's sport and body. We help athletes develop sound movement mechanics and build the strength and stability their sport demands, so they can keep performing without compromising their long-term health.

For high school athletes, see also our varsity athlete program and strength and conditioning.
