Sport is a vital part of a child’s physical development, confidence, and social life. However, growing bodies can face challenges such as overuse injuries, growth-related pain, or musculoskeletal conditions.
At RHP Physiotherapy, we provide kids’ sports physio services for children and teens who experience injuries or difficulties while playing sport. Our dedicated team of physiotherapists creates personalised therapy to restore mobility, muscle strength, coordination, and confidence, helping kids reach their full potential on and off the field.
Whether your child plays soccer, netball, or other school or community sports, our specialist clinic combines physiotherapy, evidence-based techniques, and equipment to ensure kids thrive safely and enjoy sport.
Children and teenagers place growing demands on their bodies during training, games, and school sports. Early intervention from a physiotherapist can help address pain, support healthy development, and allow kids to continue participating in the activities they love.
Timely physiotherapy can often help children recover safely, maintain muscle strength, and continue to enjoy their sporting interests.
During growth phases, children may experience pain at tendon attachments due to rapid development. Common growth-related conditions include:
Sever’s disease is a common cause of heel pain in growing children and teen athletes. It occurs when the growth plate at the back of the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress from running or jumping. Symptoms include heel pain during activity, swelling, and tenderness at the heel. Foot and ankle physiotherapy can help manage pain, improve mobility, strengthen surrounding muscles, and guide children safely back to training and games.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition that causes pain and swelling just below the knee in kids typically aged 10-14. It is commonly caused by stress on the tendon that attaches the kneecap to the shinbone, often from running, jumping, or repetitive sport movements. Knee physiotherapy for Osgood-Schlatter Disease focuses on reducing pain, improving muscle strength, and maintaining mobility so that young athletes can return safely to sport and physical activity while growing.
Our approach can help children reduce pain, build strength and coordination, and enjoy getting back to the sports they love. Every program we develop is unique to each child or teen, and is modelled on what is necessary for their particular injury, as well as what sport they play.
We perform detailed assessments of how children run, jump, and change direction. At RHP Physiotherapy, we want to help your child in the long-term by identifying underlying causes of injury or pain and addressing the root problem and not just the symptoms.
Manual therapy techniques may help kids regain mobility, relieve pain, and develop muscle strength. Our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques that are gentle, safe, and effective for growing bodies. We also offer remedial massage to help repair and assist with soft tissue damage.
Our therapy programs build strength, coordination, flexibility, and confidence. We work with children and teens to help them follow a structured return-to-sport plan, which includes:
This combined approach can help young athletes recover fully, achieve the performance goals they are working towards, and continue to participate safely in their chosen sports.
A safe, structured return-to-sport program is crucial when working to prevent reinjury and support long-term development. Physiotherapy guides children through:
This approach can assist kids and teens in enjoying fun, social, and competitive sports while potentially reducing pain and injury risk.

Your child should get physiotherapy if they experience persistent pain, swelling, or difficulty participating in school or team sports. Early intervention can improve recovery and prevent long-term problems from getting in the way of future sport.
Yes. Physiotherapy may improve muscle strength, coordination, and mobility, reducing the risk of overuse injuries. Guided rehabilitation and exercise programs often help children recover confidently and return to sports without pain.
Recovery depends on your child’s age, the type of injury, and the sport they play. Minor injuries may heal within a few weeks, while more complex conditions often require longer, structured physiotherapy programs.
In many cases, children can participate with modifications. Our physiotherapists guide young athletes through their training sessions, games, and school activities carefully to support recovery, strengthen muscles, and restore coordination while minimising risk.

While RHP Physiotherapy kids sports physios work with sports injuries and overuse injuries in children and teens, conditions related to genetic disorders or developmental delays usually require paediatric physiotherapists. Paediatric physiotherapy supports babies, children, and teens with musculoskeletal conditions, scoliosis, coordination challenges, or mobility issues unrelated to sport.
