ACL Injuries Girls/Female Athletes

guest — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:36:00 GMT

For a good discussion of the high rate of ACL injuries experienced by girl athletes (many soocer players among them), parents and players might want to check the WFAN Sports Radio website. Rick Wolff, host of Sports Edge on WFAN , recently interviewed Dr. Vinod Somareddy (DPT) on the subject. Dr. Somareddy, who founded Reddy-Care Physical Therapy in Great Neck, provided some expert insight into the problem, and preventative suggestions. Audio of the broadcast is available on the station's website and at www.reddycare.net

Young Pitchers- Arm Injuries

guest — Wed, 13 May 2009 21:07:33 GMT

I wonder if any readers or their kids have experienced arm injuries due to overuse. It is a situation that is becoming more common (or well documented anyway) among younger baseball playes, most notably pitchers. One such condition , dubbed " Little League Elbow," is appearing with greater frequency. We have seen it in our work with some young athletes at Reddy-Care Physical Therapy in Great Neck, New York. Our practice hopes to conduct additional study of the phenomenon, and welcomes any firsthand experiences readers might want to share.
