Beyond the Script

At Beyond the Script, we take a non traditional approach to getting our athletes better. Instead of traditional rehab approaches, Dr. Kauffman and Dr. Wells use barbells, kettlebells, and various forms of strength training to reduce onset of pain and get our patients past their injury.

Should we push young athlete specialization? 05/16/2021

Should we push young athlete specialization? In this episode, Dr's. Kauffman and Wells discuss the potential adverse affects of early sports specialization in youth athletes. Dr. Wells has been seeing more youth athletes who have adult types of injuries, who tend to specialize in a sport early in life. As a whole, we think we need to push ourselves, spend every waking moment in the sport, and repeat. However, this is leading to more overuse injuries in youth athletes and can actually prevent them from playing college ball.
