The Athletic ACL: A Framework for Rehab to Return to Sport

This isn't another weekend event filled with fluff.

We're not here to give you our cookie-cutter ACL return-to-play program.

Don't expect a copy-and-paste approach.

Instead, what we can promise is that our weekend event, The Athletic ACL: A Framework for Rehab to Return to Play, will help you unlock the roadmap to unparalleled success in ACL return-to-play.

This is a dynamic, 2-day in-person event specifically crafted for Physical Therapists, Strength & Conditioning Coaches, Chiropractors, Personal Trainers, and Athletic Trainers.

Working with the ACL athlete is challenging. We get that. We also understand the importance of having an evidence-based framework and plan in place throughout each step of the ACL recovery process.

Most importantly, we're here to help you explore the principles and foundational concepts to make smart and logical decisions for return-to-sport and -play to optimize outcomes and decrease re-injury rates.

Come prepared to learn through theory and a hands-on, practical approach so that you can walk away with actionable strategies to use with your ACL athletes right away. Level up your ability to help athletes back to the sports and activities they love!
