 Adolescent
Therapy at S.T.A.R.S.
S.T.A.RS. Adolescent Therapy is done
throught he complete supervision of Svetlana (Lana)
Tzondova, RPT, a European-trained therapist with 25+ years
experience, and over 10 years [specifically] with pediatric
and adolescent patients. She is a former Bulgarian National Champion
and former physical therapist to the
Bulgarian National team, as
well as, the National
Sports Academy; also a former physical therapist at the Bulgarian
National Rehabilitation Center. Her excellent
hands-on and individualized therapies have earned her many praises.
Young children are being pushed harder,
and at younger ages, to excel at sports. This pressure leads to overplay.
Overuse
injuries are becoming
more and more prevalent in these children as they tend to devote
more time to the sports they fall in love with. Unlike adults
that overplay,
children have the potential to poorly impact their bone growth.
When adolescent bones are growing, any fracture near a growth
plate, where
tissue is developing at the end of a bone, can lead to more serious
consequences.
S.T.A.R.S. has the expertise and qualifications to treat youth-specific
problems from acute or chronic sports injuries. Adolescent injuries
often are quite different from conditions more commonly seen in
older patients. Our child-specific programs are geared to handle
these special needs by uniting advanced facilities with a hands-on,
family-centered approach. Our goal is to help children return to
their regular routine with their families, schools and communities.
