This workshop will provide a
general overview of non-contact ACL injuries, including a review of basic
knee anatomy, risk factors for these particular injuries and why preventative
measures are needed. It will then summarize the current literature
investigating neuromuscular training techniques in the prevention of ACL
injuries, including a literature review that I co-authored last year. There
will then be some time for practical application of some of these techniques
with the hopes that they can be integrated into other training routines. 
With degrees in Kinesiology and
Physical Therapy, Jessica has a strong background in rehabilitation. She is
currently pursuing her Advanced Diploma in Manual and Manipulative Therapy as
well as her certificate in Acupuncture. Jessica is also an athletic trainer
and has recently been published in the Journal of the American Physical
Therapy Association regarding ACL injury prevention. An athlete herself,
Jessica enjoys playing ice hockey, riding her horse, hiking and snowboarding.
