BY DENISE DIDIO BUHER, PT<\/p>\n

A surprising number of high school athletes
\nare injured each year. Football, soccer, volleyball
\nand cheerleading injuries for youth
\ntotaled more than 1.5 million in 2013 according
\nto the Consumer Product Safety Commission
\n(CPSC).<\/p>\n

One potential solution to high school sports
\ninjuries is better partnerships between athletic
\ncoaching staff, athletic trainers and physical
\ntherapists. While coaches and athletic trainers
\nhandle a student athlete’s immediate healthcare
\nneeds on the sidelines, physical therapists
\ncan provide one-on-one treatment and more
\nhands-on techniques for injury recovery.<\/p>\n

According to the National Athletic Trainer’s
\nAssociation, only 42 percent of high schools
\nhave access to athletic trainers. With more
\nthan half the nation’s high school without an
\non-site trainer, parents should advocate for
\nincreased partnerships between their children’s
\nathletic coaches and their local physical
\ntherapists.
\nParents of student athletes can rest a
\nlittle easier knowing that their child’s coach
\nhas a good relationship with a local physical
\ntherapist who can provide education, recommendations
\nand support for injury treatment and rehabilitation. We aren’t just going to ice,
\nheat or tape an injury and send a kid back out
\nonto the field.<\/p>\n

Our knowledge and expertise, in partnership
\nwith that of the athlete’s coach, means
\nplayers stay healthy. If an individual is injured,
\nwe can provide coaches with game day advice
\non whether or not that individual is starting
\nroster-ready.<\/p>\n

To prevent sporting injuries, parents and
\ncoaches should follow these sports safety tips
\nfrom Safe Kids Worldwide:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Rule out potential medical conditions prior
\nto sports participation with a complete physical
\nexamination by a doctor and follow up with
\na physical therapist to screen for any potential
\nmusculoskeletal dysfunctions.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Notify coaches and staff of any pre-existing
\nmedical conditions before the first practice.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Be sure to warm-up and cool-down before
\nand after each sporting session, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Drink lots of fluids before and during
\nheightened levels of activity.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Ensure your athlete has all the necessary
\nsafety equipment and gear for practices and
\ngames.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Watch for signs of injury or overuse, such
\nas headaches and muscle or joint stiffness, and
\ndon’t allow athletes to “play through the pain.”<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Get adequate rest throughout the week.
