If I told you that you could reduce the risk of ACL, anterior cruciate ligament, injuries by about 40% by doing some exercises 2x/week, would you be interested? If your knee buckles inward on a single leg squat, like in the photo below, you are at a high risk of developing knee pain and damaging your ACL and need to correct the way you move.
By examining your feet, knees and hips while squatting, standing, walking, running, and going up and down stairs we can determine the weak link in your movement patterns. Local examination of the knee, foot/ankle, hip, pelvis and low back helps to further refine the diagnosis and corrective strategies.
The number one take home message for a knee rehab and/or injury prevention program: do not let the knee buckle inwards, valgus strain, during exercise.
The FIFA 11+ knee injury prevention program is geared for health young athletes who want to get fitter and prevent injuries. It is, however, too advanced for middle aged or older individuals that have knee pain and want to get better. For these people, make an appointment, get a proper diagnosis and follow the rehab advice of your Doctor of Chiropractic.
