Junior footy season is getting underway and this time of year is understandably a bit of an anxious time for some parents with the overwhelming concern that your child has the potential to be injured, whilst playing this highly competitive sport.
Whilst you may not be able to prevent the bumps and tackles which go hand-in-hand with footy, you can help to ensure your child’s body is fit and ready to go. With many growth associated and overuse injuries regularly popping up in the clinic during footy preseason, getting the basics right is just as important as protecting your child against that opposition player twice their size!
We are dedicated to our community’s health and to help both you and your child enter the 2018 footy season with a bang, Upwell is offering FREE lower limb Podiatry assessments and football boot advice for all kids. This community offer is limited to the first 10 appointments booked and all bookings will enter the draw to win a free pair of football boots thanks to our friends at The Athlete’s Foot, Camberwell.
