Resources for Rehabilitation and Recovery

Getting your child back to the sports and activities they love takes the right plan — and the right support. These exercises created by Connecticut Children's Sports Medicine and Orthopedic teams were designed specifically for growing athletes recovering from surgery, injury, or working their way back to full activity. Follow your care team's instructions closely and stop any exercise that causes increased pain. If you're ever unsure about your child's progress, reach out — we're here to help.
