About this Event
Athletic Knee Conference: A multidisciplinary approach focusing on ACL and more!
Come join us at Exceed Sports Performance & Fitness for a day filled with insightful discussions and hands-on workshops about all things related to athletic knee injuries. This comprehensive 8-hour seminar provides an in-depth exploration of ACL reconstruction, including surgical considerations, graft selection, and a phased rehabilitation approach from post-operative recovery to return-to-sport. Designed for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, strength and conditioning specialists, and athletic trainers, this course highlights how surgical decisions impact rehabilitation outcomes and how to tailor interventions to optimize strength, neuromuscular control, and functional performance.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of ACL anatomy, common knee injury mechanisms, and associated pathologies, as well as the benefits and limitations of different graft options. Through evidence-based rehabilitation protocols, attendees will learn how to safely progress patients through early, mid, and late-stage recovery while implementing functional testing and return-to-sport criteria to minimize re-injury risk. By the end of the seminar, participants will be equipped with the latest strategies for managing ACL injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation to improve patient outcomes.
