It depends on the severity of the injury and it differs from one person to other. Usually with children it’s faster process.
This answer really depends on the severity of the injury. A basic ankle sprain is expected to take 2-6 weeks of PT to heal fully.
Depends on your goals for your daughter? Normally 4 weeks . This should be discussed with your physical therapist. In the end, its about your/your daughter's goals.
Your physical therapist should be able to answer this questions after initial assessment
Hi,
It all depends on the injury and it can be determined only after an evaluation. One positive thing is kids heal faster than adults.
