An ounce of prevention is worth it’s weight in gold

The cliche is true.  Many of today’s most common athletic injuries can be prevented with the appropriate preventive exercises for the demands of the specific sport and position the athlete participates in.  The best time to work on preventive exercises is during the off season or down time because once the grind of the season starts the window for prevention is usually closed or closing fast because of the demands of the season.  For example the research shows that there are about four main factors that increase the risk of non-contact ACL injuries.  Some of these risk factors can be decreased with certain specific exercises designed for ACL prevention.  For about the past ten years there have been some colleges that have taken this research seriously and implemented ACL prevention programs.The preliminary data from these colleges over the past ten years is that these programs are showing a significant reduction in ACL injuries compared to programs that don’t have prevention programs in the works. If you are a serious athlete and your sport or position is notorious for having common injuries wouldn’t you rather prevent it from happening in the first place rather than not doing your best to prevent it and then having to go through a probable surgery and perhaps a year or longer of rehabilitation just to get back to where you already were?  If so, Dr. Johnson has trained with the leading sports rehabilitation experts in the world and is eager to pass his knowledge on.
