My son’s Knee cap has popped out of place twice in two years.The specialists say he will eventually have to go under the knife(genetics),but not until he stops growing.He is 13 now.
I was hoping to get some responses from people with similar injurys when they were young athletes and how they overcame them. He will get physio initially but we did that the first time.He plays football and hockey and will get fitted for a new brace so he can still play sports,however it can still pop out without warning.His physio involves mainly plyometrics not strenght training.How do i do both sensibly without making obvious mistakes.Building strength around his knee joints more specifically his patella tendon seems to be the main focus, or could it be symptom something else.Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Also this is my first post so i hope i didn’t go on to long.
