Knee Injury Prevention Program
Gateau Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine's goal is to provide for all of your physical therapy needs. With the Knee Injury Prevention program, we deliver a valuable service that limits the number of knee injuries sustained by athletes while improving the athlete's overall performance.
"A serious ACL injury can be physically and emotionally devastating for an athlete. The amount of time it takes to recover from the injury and rehabilitate the ACL often means that entire seasons are lost and athletic careers are substantially altered."
