EP3 - Problem Solving the ACL in Lower Extremity Sports

Episode 3 of 'Beyond the Barbell' takes a quick overview of ACL biomechanics and how lower extremity muscles can load or protect the ACL in a variety of sporting positions and angles. Registered Physiotherapist Brendon Ip explains the direct and indirect ways the ACL is loaded and how you can apply this knowledge to "bulletproof" and protect your ACL by incorporating accessory exercises to address commonly neglected areas.
