ACL Injury Prevention
Improve Athletic Performance and Reduce ACL Injury Risk
ACL prevention programs have been shown to reduce the risk of ACL injuries by establishing proper jumping and cutting techniques. The progressive nature of our program ensures that the athlete establishes the balanced muscle strength necessary to execute proper jumping mechanics. Our program builds off of initial strength gains and progresses toward a comprehensive plyometric program simulating sport-specific movement patterns. By promoting gains in strength, coordination and power, this program is designed to improve athletic performance and reduce ACL injury risk.
