Well, I have an update on player x.\u00a0 She saw my preferred soccer\/knee orthopedist in town on Wednesday.\u00a0 He examined her and read the comments I gave to her mother as well.\u00a0 In summary, he agreed with me that she had patello-femoral pain\/inflammation.<\/p>\n
He also told the mother she had just gone back to soccer too quickly and never fully regained her quad strength.\u00a0 He told her if she continued to work around the deficit, she would likely suffer another injury.\u00a0 This is often the case.\u00a0 So, at this point the plan of action is to take a one month hiatus from soccer and do formal rehab three times per week.<\/p>\n
While this process will be much slower and less active for player x, it probably will be for the best in the long run.\u00a0 In the short term, she may suffer some loss of fitness, but she needs to focus on strengthening right now.\u00a0 I will keep you updated on her progress as time goes by.\u00a0 She will likely return to me for conditioning to transition her safely back to full soccer once therapy winds down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
