פיזיותרפיה לנוער וצעירים — גילאים 12–18 בתל אביב

WHAT IS IT — Adolescent and youth physiotherapy (פיזיותרפיה לנוער) addresses musculoskeletal conditions specific to the growing skeleton: apophysitis (Osgood-Schlatter, Sever's disease, Sinding-Larsen-Johansson), spondylolysis, scoliosis, hypermobility syndromes, and overuse injuries from early sport specialisation. Adolescents are NOT small adults — their tissues, load tolerance, and psychological response to injury require age-appropriate management.

WHO IT AFFECTS — Active adolescents age 10–18 in football, basketball, volleyball, athletics, dance, gymnastics, and increasingly padel and tennis. Osgood-Schlatter affects 10–20% of active adolescents; Sever's disease peaks age 8–12. Girls with rapid growth spurts are at highest risk for ACL injury and patellofemoral pain. Early sport specialisation (single sport >8 months/year before age 12) increases overuse injury risk 2–4 fold (Jayanthi et al., Sports Health 2013).

HOW WE TREAT IT — Recovery TLV applies youth-specific protocols: Osgood-Schlatter — load management + progressive loading of quadriceps and hip, NOT rest (Holden & Rathleff, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019, DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2019-101888); Sever's disease — heel padding, calf stretching, activity modification; ACL injury prevention in adolescent female athletes — neuromuscular training (PEP, FIFA 11+) reduces injury substantially — Hewett et al. (American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999, DOI:10.1177/03635465990270060301) — prospective study in 1,263 high-school athletes showing a 3.6× lower knee injury incidence in trained vs untrained female athletes; Sadoghi et al. (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume, 2012, DOI:10.2106/JBJS.K.00467) — meta-analysis confirming pooled risk reduction of 52% in female and 85% in male athletes with structured ACL prevention programmes. Hypermobility — strength and proprioception, NOT stretching. Recovery TLV educates parents and coaches on load management (training:match ratio, weekly volume progression), and coordinates with schools and clubs.

RECOVERY TIME — Osgood-Schlatter: 3–6 months with load management, self-limiting with growth plate closure (age 14–16). Sever's: 4–8 weeks with activity modification. Overuse injuries generally resolve in 4–12 weeks if training load is modified. Key principle: return to sport must be criterion-based (pain-free activity, strength LSI ≥90%), not calendar-based — early return produces chronic issues.
