Understanding the anatomy of the physis, epiphysis, and apophysis is essential for managing growth-related injuries in young patients. At Oakridge Physiotherapy Centre, we specialize in physiotherapy for growth plate injuries, providing safe, age-appropriate care that supports healthy development and healing.
Growth plates are vulnerable during childhood and adolescence, especially in active individuals. Conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease or apophysitis can cause discomfort and limit activity. Our experienced team uses physiotherapy techniques to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent long-term complications. Treatment plans may also include massage therapy and electrotherapy for soft tissue support.
We educate both patients and families on the importance of modified activity and proper biomechanics. Our qualified team ensures every program is tailored to the child’s stage of growth, promoting recovery while allowing safe participation in physical activities.
If your child is experiencing joint pain, swelling, or difficulty with movement, our team is here to help. Visit our services page or contact us today for a consultation. Oakridge Physiotherapy in Vancouver offers trusted care for growing bodies—so they can stay active, strong, and pain-free.
