Center for Prevention of Youth Sports Injuries

Today’s young athletes face greater physical demands than ever before. Year-round competition, travel teams, sports academies, private coaching, and intensive training have led many athletes to specialize in a single sport at increasingly younger ages. While these opportunities can accelerate skill development, repetitive training and inadequate recovery can also increase the risk of overuse injuries.

For more than 30 years, The Sports Rehabilitation Center has focused on advancing rehabilitation techniques to help athletes recover safely and return to sport at the highest level possible. Recognizing that the best injury is often the one that can be prevented, SRC established The Center for Prevention of Youth Sports Injuries to make injury prevention an integral part of athletic development.

Our program combines comprehensive physical assessment, athlete and parent education, and sport-specific training to identify individual risk factors and reduce the likelihood of overuse injuries. The program has been endorsed by Dr. James Andrews, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the evaluation and treatment of sports injuries in young athletes.

While many athletic programs focus primarily on improving strength, power, speed, and agility, our approach goes a step further. We incorporate these important performance measures while addressing mobility, strength imbalances, movement mechanics, training volume, recovery, and other factors that may contribute to injury.

Whether your young athlete has experienced a previous injury or you are looking for a proactive approach to keeping them healthy, our goal is simple: help athletes train smarter, reduce their risk of injury, and perform at their highest level. We understand and appreciate the amount of time and financial resources you have committed to your athlete’s development…so think about our program as a way to protect your investment!
