    How To Prevent ACL Injuries

    Women can take an active role in avoiding tearing their ACL, and in addition, preventing further tearing once
    the ACL is already been torn and reconstructed.

    There is a neuromuscular training program that has been developed in conjunction with physicians,
    coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists that involve a number of different things involving
    stretching, plyometric training and then sports-specific agility training exercises that can help retrain the
    quadriceps, retrain the hamstrings.

    To both, work in conjunction to balance the knee during e-centric loading which hence can minimize a
    woman’s chance of tearing her ACL or even worse, re-tearing it once it’s already been reconstructed.

    The neuromuscular training program for ACL tear prevention is best learned from either a trained athletic
    trainer, or a physical therapist educated in neuromuscular controlling.
