Injury Prevention and Management in the Soccer Athlete

It has been quite some time since we posted on our blog. That means it has been busy at the clinic. We wanted to share with everyone in the Peoria area athletic community that we are hosting a presentation on June 8th entitled, "Injury Prevention and Management in the Soccer Athlete." This will be a joint presentation between us and Joe Terry, PT, CSCS of the Human Performance Lab. Feel free to forward this information to coaches and parents who might be interested. As physical therapists and strength coaches, sports-specific rehabilitation and injury prevention have been a primary focus. We hope to educate the soccer community on injuries most commonly seen in the sport, functional testing, and preventative training.

Date: June 8th, 2011

Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM

Location: Rock Valley Physical Therapy (9901 N. Knoxville)

Amy Johnson, PT, OCS/ Luke Acklie, PT, OCS, CSCS/ Joe Terry, PT, CSCS

Description: The presentation will consist of two lectures with the first lecture discussing the management of common injuries in the soccer athlete. The second lecture will focus on injury prevention in the soccer athlete from the sports enhancement perspective. There will be time devoted for a question/answer session after each presentation.
