Physical therapy in Reseda, CA
Adolescent Care
Growing, active bodies have their own needs. Physical therapy for teens and young athletes with Urvashi Barbhaya, RPT, OCS, addresses sports injuries, growth-related aches, and posture with age-appropriate care.
Care for growing athletes
Adolescence brings rapid growth and, often, a busy schedule of sport and activity — a combination that creates specific challenges. Care for teens and young athletes commonly addresses:
- Sports injuries and safe return to play
- Growth-related aches and overuse injuries
- Posture and back concerns, including from heavy backpacks
- Building strength and movement skills safely
- Confidence and technique for young athletes
An age-appropriate approach
Treatment is matched to a young, developing body and delivered in a supportive, encouraging way. Parents are involved in the plan, and education helps both the teen and the family understand how to train and recover safely.
What to expect
The first visit assesses movement, strength, and the specific concern, with treatment beginning the same day. Care emphasizes healthy habits that protect growing bodies now and into the future.
