Bulletproofing the Athletic Knee
with Cody Dimak DC
This twelve-hour movement immersive course will walk students, clinicians, and coaches through many of the external and internal factors that may contribute to knee injuries in multi-planar athletes. We will cover topics like common anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) mechanisms of injury, biomechanical limitations that may contribute to injury, assessments of risk factors, common exercise approaches that are used to address risk factor findings, and what exercise approaches are typically missing in an athlete’s preparation for their sport.
