As more young soccer players choose to “specialize,” or play only soccer year-round from an early age, overuse injuries are becoming more common. Join us online on Friday, August 9 at 4 p.m. to learn more about the most frequent overuse injuries in young soccer players and how they can be prevented and treated. You’ll hear from Christine Boyd, MD, a pediatric sports medicine specialist who sees patients in Pleasanton.

She will cover topics including:
  • The most common overuse injuries in young soccer players, including shin splints, knee pain, and heel pain.
  • How these injuries are diagnosed and treated
  • Strategies to reduce the risk of developing an overuse injury

There will be time for Q&A at the end, so bring your questions.
The webinar is free, but registration is required.
