Sport is a big part of growing up in Helensburgh, and keeping young athletes injury-free is key to helping them thrive. At Platinum Sports Podiatry, we specialise in youth biomechanics and sports injury prevention. Whether it’s football, netball, running, or dance, we understand how to support growing bodies.
Young athletes are especially prone to issues like heel pain (Sever’s disease), shin splints, knee pain, and ankle sprains. These problems often stem from poor foot posture, flat feet, or biomechanical imbalances that place unnecessary stress on growing joints.
That’s where we come in. Our sports podiatry services include comprehensive assessments of your child’s walking and running patterns, joint flexibility, and muscle function. From there, we can create custom orthotics designed to support proper alignment and reduce the risk of injury.
We also work closely with parents and coaches to ensure that footwear choices and training loads are appropriate for each child. Whether they’re just starting out or training at an elite level, early podiatry support can give young athletes a huge advantage.
Our Helensburgh clinic is family-friendly, and Dr Khaled Assaad has years of experience helping young patients stay active, strong, and injury-free.
Give your child the best chance to perform well and enjoy sport without pain. Book a sports podiatry appointment with our team today—because prevention is better than cure, especially when it comes to growing feet.
