"Sports and Orthopaedic Specialists (SAOS), in partnership with Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, has developed an ACL Injury Prevention/Performance Enhancement Program that incorporates existing scientific-based knowledge about ACL injury prevention, combined with newer information on the importance of dynamic flexibility and hip/trunk strength and stability for prevention and performance."
