Sportsmetrics ACL Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation Program

This evidence-based program has demonstrated a 75% reduction in the incidence of ACL injuries. Given the incidence of ACL re-tear or tear on the contralateral limb is 23-30%, we believe this program to be critical for rehabilitation of ACL reconstruction patients. This 6 week program takes athletes through an intense progression of multidirectional jump and hop plyometric training with an emphasis on proper lower extremity control so the athlete is best prepared to return to their sport with minimal risk of re-injury. Send your patients to Fabrice Rockich, DPT, OCS, CSCS, AFS, certified Sportsmetrics specialist, for injury prevention training or final phase rehabilitation from ACL reconstruction to yield the best outcomes for your patients.

Managing and Reducing the Risk of Osteoporosis

We believe that the prevention and successful treatment of osteoporosis involves tailoring an individualized program to meet each patients specific needs and goals. Our multi faceted approach includes a focus on: 1) correct posture to unload the vertebral bodies with appropriate strengthening of spine extensors, 2) improved hip mobility, lower extremity and lumbopelvic strength, 3) fall prevention, 4) implementation of a progressive walking and multidirectional weightbearing exercise program to improve bone quality, 5) education. Susan Casner Kay, MPT, OCS, specializes in this area with an evidence-based approach to help this population of patients.

She provides professional advice in injury prevention as part of the health and wellness team for a local competitive group, Wolfpack Running Club.
