S.K.I.P.©:
Successful Knee Injury Prevention

Statistically speaking, two-thirds of serious knee injuries occur without contact during a sport; typically the injuries occur in situations that require control, balance and strength. There are over 100,000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgeries in the United States per year, with one in100 female athletes in high school and one in 10 female college athletes sustaining injury. Female athletes are five times more likely to sustain serious knee injuries (ACL tears) as compared to their male counterparts and our goal is to bring these numbers down significantly for the female athletes in our community. That's why Dr. Bill Johnson researched and developed S.K.I.P.

This specially-designed program is a sequence of highly specific training sessions which educate participants in proper jumping, landing and cutting techniques with emphasis being on quality of training. S.K.I.P. begins with a comprehensive musculoskeletal examination and athletic assessment, including a video analysis that identifies your strength deficits, tight muscles, and faulty jumping and landing mechanics.
