How Long Will My Child Need To Avoid Playing Sport?
We recommend active rest. That is, your child’s sport should be reduced to avoid any pain. If your child has pain at rest, they should not participate in any sport. If your child has pain walking, they should avoid walking or running. Crutches for a few weeks may be advisable in severe cases. For the best advice, please consult your PhysioWorks physiotherapist, who can guide you based on your child’s symptoms. In most cases and under physiotherapy guidance, your child should feel better within a few weeks or months.
