Little league elbow (LLE) syndrome is an overload or overstress injury to the elbow that occurs as a result of repetitive throwing motions. Increased single-sport participation with year-round training, higher intensities at young ages, and longer competitive seasons are contributing factors to the increased injury rates seen in pediatric athletes. 

Sever's disease is a painful bone disorder that results from inflammation (swelling) of the growth plate in the heel. It is a common cause of heel pain in growing kids, especially those who are physically active. 

Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Disease is typically found in kids between the ages of 7-13 and typically in those that perform repetitive running and jumping.  Repetitive stress can cause this swelling of the bone to become irritated and inflamed, resulting in SLJ.

Periostitis is a condition that typically affects people who repetitively jump, run, or lift heavy weights. If you’re an avid runner, you may be familiar with shin splints, which are a type of periostitis. Repetitive stress on the tibia, or shinbone, causes shin splints. This condition often improves with rest, but it can lead to chronic discomfort and pain.

Any torn muscle is called a muscle strain and this is the same as a pulled muscle. The direct cause of every muscle strain is traumatic ripping of the muscle tissue, usually at the point where the muscle meets its tendon.
