Episode 7: Overuse Injuries
11/11/21 • 24 min
Sport participation is at the core of the Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine Center’s mission statement, as it promotes the physical and emotional well-being of student-athletes, while encouraging a lifelong habit of exercise. Although the benefits of athletic activity are significant, too much activity can lead to injury – especially when specific actions are repeated over a long period of time.
Our guest for this episode is Greg Canty, MD, a sports medicine physician at Children’s Mercy. Dr. Canty has extensive medical training including seven years of medical school and pediatrics residency at the University of Louisville, three years of emergency medicine fellowship at Children’s Mercy, and a year of sports medicine fellowship at the University of Colorado.

Children's Mercy Sports Medicine Center's Becky Wiseman, a specialist when it comes to the mental aspect of sport, teaches us how to see this challenges as opportunities to improve, mature and grow, while emerging as a stronger person.
