Have you seen the New York Times article highlighting that female athletes may be 2–8× more likely to tear their ACL than males.
The good news? ACL injuries aren’t inevitable. Research shows that structured neuromuscular warm-ups and strength programs can significantly reduce risk.
The real issue is that many youth and high school teams still aren’t implementing these programs consistently.
Better preparation starts with actually putting prevention programs into practice.

Puberty changes strength fast — and not all muscles keep up the same way. 💪

Girls: quads ↑ 45%, hamstrings ↑ 27%
Boys: quads ↑ 148%, hamstrings ↑ 179%

Strong quads protect knees 🦵, hamstrings guide that strength safely. Balanced strength training = safer, more resilient athletes. ⚡

Weekly clinical meeting = team brainpower 🔥

This week we dug into a continuing education course on anterior knee pain—tons of gems we’re already applying to better serve our patients. These meetings aren’t just about knowledge; they’re about collaboration. We talk through cases, share wins and struggles, and learn from each other so that no one’s treating in a silo.

📸 Featuring our full physical therapy team (6 PTs + 1 awesome DPT student) and our performance team—Coach Matt and his intern Amanda. We truly have the best team and we’re always striving to be at the top of the clinical education chain, all for the benefit of our clients. 💪

🦴 Why Do Stress Fractures Happen? 🦴

Your bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding—it’s a normal process! But when overuse outpaces recovery, things go wrong… and that’s when stress fractures occur. 😬

Here’s the cycle:
✅ Stress (like running or jumping) → tiny bone damage
🔨 Osteoclasts (cleanup crew) remove old/damaged bone
🧱 Osteoblasts (builders) rebuild stronger bone
❌ Too much stress + not enough recovery = weak bone & injury

If you don’t give your body time to rebuild, the cleanup crew never stops, and the bone gets weaker instead of stronger—leading to stress fractures!

💡 Key takeaway? Smart training + proper recovery = stronger bones & fewer injuries.
