The rate of re-injury in kids is too high

Are you confident that your rehab protocols truly prepare kids for the chaos and cognitive and physical demands of sport?

  • 22% of ACL reconstructions have a 2nd injury

  • 40% of ankle sprains fail to cope

  • 45% of youth athletes with a lumbar stress fracture report a recurrence of significant symptoms

Just being strong is not enough.

We need athletes to be able to react at speed, dual task, and develop the ability to move without thinking. Let me help you to develop the confidence to get kids safely back to sport and keep them that way
