Boston Children’s Hospital’s Female Athlete Program provides specialized, multidisciplinary care for girls and young women whose sports participation, training, or overall health may be affected by injury, nutrition, hormonal changes, or performance-related concerns. Our expert team includes specialists in sports medicine, nutrition, endocrinology, mental health, physical therapy, and athletic training who work together to support the unique physical and emotional needs of female athletes. We evaluate and treat conditions including stress fractures, overtraining, RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), menstrual irregularities, eating disorders, and sports-related injuries while helping athletes safely return to activity and optimize performance. Through evidence-based care, education, injury prevention, and personalized treatment plans, we empower female athletes to achieve long-term health, wellness, and athletic success.
