Injury Prevention Program for the Adolescent Athlete

Issaquah Physical Therapy has developed a comprehensive program of retraining movement
patterns that are beneficial in avoiding injuries. The program has been developed with
biomechanical and neuromuscular training principles and similar programs have shown good
success at preventing injuries in the participants. The standard program will take about 20 to 30
minutes and should be performed 2 to 3 times per week. It will involve a warm up, flexibility and strength training exercises and balance, proprioceptive, agility and plyometric training. This is not a simple program that can be looked at as a strength and conditioning program but rather must be approached with focus and purpose. The participant will make significant gains in both the areas of strength and conditioning but will also be better prepared for the challenges one faces in the sport. Form must be emphasized with the balance, and proprioceptive training and it is often wise to use either a partner or a mirror to assure proper adherence to the principles outlined.
