Friendly physiotherapy for sports injuries, growing pains, knee and heel pain, posture concerns and helping kids get back to the activities they enjoy.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, our Langley physiotherapists take a friendly and patient approach with children and teenagers. We explain what we're doing in simple language and make rehabilitation feel practical rather than intimidating.
Whether your child is recovering from a sports injury, developing knee or heel pain during a growth spurt, or experiencing aches related to school, screens or activity, treatment is adapted to their age, symptoms and goals.
Children and teenagers are growing while their activity levels, sports demands and daily routines are constantly changing. These are some of the most common reasons families visit us for kids physiotherapy in Langley.
Ankle sprains, knee pain, muscle strains, shoulder injuries and overuse problems can affect kids involved in soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball, dance, swimming and other activities.
Rapid growth combined with running and jumping may contribute to knee, heel or leg discomfort, including conditions such as Osgood-Schlatter disease and Sever's disease.
Long periods at school, studying, gaming and computer use may contribute to neck, shoulder or back discomfort in some children and teenagers.
Parents often wonder whether a child's aches are simply part of being active or whether something should be assessed.
A physiotherapy assessment may be helpful when symptoms keep returning, begin limiting sports or everyday activity, or change how your child walks, runs, jumps or moves.
Growth spurts can change how a child's body feels during activity. At the same time, practices, games, running and jumping may also be increasing.
A child who previously played without any difficulty may suddenly begin complaining about their knees, heels or legs.
Not every ache should automatically be labelled a growing pain. A physiotherapy assessment can look at the painful area, which movements reproduce the symptoms and whether strength, mobility or activity levels may be contributing.
For young athletes, reducing pain is only part of rehabilitation. We also want to rebuild strength, movement confidence and the ability to tolerate the demands of their sport.
Pain can improve before ankle strength and balance fully return. Rehabilitation may progress into single-leg balance, calf strengthening, hopping and change-of-direction exercises.
Assessment may include knee movement, hip and leg strength, ankle mobility, single-leg control, squatting, jumping and movements related to the child's sport.
Volleyball, swimming and other overhead sports can place repetitive stress through the shoulder. Rehabilitation may focus on mobility, strength and shoulder control.
Children and teenagers may experience neck, shoulder or back discomfort after long periods of sitting at school, studying, gaming or using computers.
Our approach isn't simply to tell a child to “sit up straight.” Bodies are designed to move and change positions throughout the day.
Instead, physiotherapy may look at strength, endurance, mobility, desk setup, sitting habits and how much movement the child gets during the day.

We keep the first appointment comfortable and straightforward so both your child and you understand what we are assessing and what happens next.
We talk about where it hurts, how it started, sports and activities, and what your child wants to return to.
We may look at movement, strength, mobility, balance, squatting, walking, running, jumping or sport-specific movements.
We explain what we find in simple language so both the child and parent understand what may be contributing.
Treatment and exercises are chosen based on the injury, age, activity level and goals.

There is no one-size-fits-all program. Treatment depends on the problem, your child's age, what we find during the assessment and what they need to get back to doing.
This is one of the most common questions parents ask after a sports injury.
Return to sport isn't always based on a specific number of days. Depending on the injury, we may look at whether your child can comfortably complete the movements their sport requires.
That might include running, sprinting, jumping, landing, cutting, pivoting or overhead movements.
Not necessarily.
Some injuries require temporary rest, while others may allow continued participation with changes to running, jumping or overall training volume.
The goal is to find an appropriate level of activity while the injured area recovers and then gradually progress toward full participation.
Most sports and activity-related injuries are musculoskeletal, but some symptoms deserve prompt medical assessment.

This service is primarily focused on school-aged children and teenagers with sports injuries, musculoskeletal pain, posture-related discomfort and movement concerns.
It depends on what is causing the discomfort. An assessment can help determine whether symptoms may be related to activity levels, muscles, tendons, joints or growth-related conditions such as Osgood-Schlatter disease or Sever's disease.
Physiotherapy can assess strength, mobility, endurance and daily habits that may contribute to neck, shoulder or back discomfort. The goal isn't to force one perfect posture, but to help kids become stronger and more comfortable.
Yes. Physiotherapy can help teenagers with ankle sprains, muscle strains, knee pain, shoulder injuries and other musculoskeletal sports injuries.
Not always. Some injuries require rest while others may be managed by temporarily modifying activity. Recommendations depend on the injury, symptoms and assessment findings.
A doctor's referral is generally not required to book private physiotherapy in British Columbia. Individual extended health plans may have their own requirements.
Comfortable athletic clothing is usually best. Clothing should allow the physiotherapist to assess the painful area and observe movements such as squatting, walking, running or jumping when needed.
If your child is dealing with a sports injury, growing pains, knee or heel pain, posture-related discomfort or difficulty returning to activity, book an assessment with our friendly physiotherapy team in Langley.
