Considerations for the Adolescent Athlete will provide an overview of the anatomical and physiological differences between the adolescent and adult athlete. We will discuss growth plate locations throughout the body and pathologies specific to each area. This knowledge will be immediately useful in your clinical setting. The participant will gain awareness of problems specific to the adolescent athlete and a greater understanding of how to address the growing concern of overuse injuries in our young athletes.
