Our Physical Therapy Department Helps a U13 Girls Soccer Team
The Physical Therapy Department worked hard through an ACL injury prevention program with a young girl's soccer team.
Our Physical Therapy Department was hard at work this Winter with the Alliance Academy U13 girls soccer team and the Sportsmetrics ACL injury prevention Program. The athletes were all pretested, measuring pre-landing and landing strategies for drop jump, single leg squat and single leg hop. Most of the athletes were at risk for a non-contact ACL, but after a 6 week program of strength training, agility drills and jump training, significant improvements were made! The athletes were later post-tested and there was a decreased risk in nearly all cases.
Contact the Physical Therapy department for questions regarding our Sportsmetrics Program and to schedule an appointment, please visit our website or call 248-377-8000 ext. 1100.
