MSK Injury Rehab

Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation for Children and Teens​

​

At Ribble Valley Children’s Physiotherapy, we offer expert musculoskeletal (MSK) injury rehabilitation for babies, children, and young people up to 18 years old. Whether your child has been injured during sport, play, or everyday activities, our tailored physiotherapy programmes are designed to support a safe, confident, and effective recovery—restoring strength, movement, and wellbeing.

​

What Is Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation?

​

Musculoskeletal injuries affect the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. In children and teens, these injuries are often linked to physical activity or growth-related changes. Some of the most common MSK conditions we treat include:

• Sprains and strains

• Fractures and joint dislocations

• Growing pains and conditions such as Sever’s disease or Osgood-Schlatter disease

• Tendonitis and overuse injuries

• Postural or biomechanical issues

• Sports-related trauma or repetitive stress injuries

​

Our goal is to help your child recover fully, reduce the risk of reinjury, and return to their daily activities and sports with confidence.

​

Our Child-Friendly Rehabilitation Approach

​

We begin with a detailed assessment to understand your child’s injury, level of function, and personal goals. From there, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to their age, developmental stage, and lifestyle.

Your child’s rehabilitation may include:

• Manual therapy to improve joint mobility and ease discomfort

• Age-appropriate strength and conditioning exercises

• Flexibility and range-of-motion work

• Proprioceptive training to improve balance, coordination, and body awareness

• Movement re-education to correct poor biomechanics and reduce reinjury risk

• Sport-specific rehabilitation for young athletes

• Pain management advice and safe guidance for returning to activity​

​​

Why Choose a Paediatric MSK Physiotherapist?

​

Children and teenagers require specialist care when it comes to musculoskeletal injuries. Their bodies are still growing and developing, which means treatment must be both age-appropriate and aligned with their physical needs. Our paediatric physiotherapists have extensive experience working with young people and use gentle, effective techniques to support recovery while keeping sessions engaging and child-focused.

​

Recovery, Education, and Long-Term Confidence

​

We don’t just focus on short-term recovery—we support your child’s long-term health by educating both them and their families. We equip you with the tools to recognise early signs of strain, manage minor symptoms at home, and help your child stay active and injury-free.

Whether your child wants to return to sport, enjoy playtime pain-free, or build strength and resilience after a period of immobility, we’re here to help every step of the way.
