Most ACL injuries don’t happen because of contact.
They happen because of how an athlete moves.

Research shows several biomechanical patterns that increase the risk of ACL injury — especially in female athletes.

🚩 Knee valgus (the knee collapsing inward)
🚩 Stiff landings with very little knee bend
🚩 Flat-foot contact with the ground
🚩 Excessive trunk lean

One finding that often surprises people:
Lateral trunk displacement alone can predict ACL injury risk in female athletes with up to 90% sensitivity.

Researchers describe these risk patterns as the “Four Dominances”:

• Ligament dominance – relying on ligaments instead of muscles to absorb force
• Quadriceps dominance – quads overpower hamstrings, increasing ACL strain
• Leg dominance – one leg is stronger or more coordinated than the other
• Trunk dominance – poor core control leading to excessive lateral movement

Another key point:
Many of these deficits don’t show up in two-legged testing.

That’s why single-leg testing and movement analysis are essential for identifying asymmetries and neuromuscular deficits.

The encouraging part?
These patterns are trainable and correctable.

Understanding how ACL injuries happen is the first step in preventing them.

⚽ Why do female athletes tear their ACL more often?

Research from Timothy E. Hewett shows that after puberty, female athletes experience ACL injuries 2–10x more often than males.

One major reason comes down to neuromuscular development.

During puberty, boys often experience a natural “neuromuscular spurt” — increases in strength, power, and coordination that help their muscles better control movement.

Girls typically don’t experience the same adaptation, which can lead to:
• Quads activating before hamstrings
• Less dynamic muscle control
• Greater reliance on ligaments for stability

And here’s something many people don’t realize:
Most ACL injuries in female athletes are non-contact injuries, often occurring during things like jumping, landing, or cutting.

The good news?
These risks can be significantly reduced with proper neuromuscular training and movement education.

Teaching athletes how to jump, land, cut, and control their bodies properly can make a huge difference in protecting their knees long-term.

If you have a young athlete, injury prevention should start before the season begins.

12 YEARS OF CLARITY 🤍

Twelve years ago, a vision for patient-first, relationship-driven care became reality. Today, we’re celebrating 12 years of serving our community — and what an incredible year it’s been.

This past year alone, we have:

✨ Opened the doors to our brand new Clarendon Hills clinic — expanding access to care and growing our Clarity family
✨ Welcomed incredible new team members who share our passion for personalized, one-on-one treatment
✨ Expanded specialty services and community programs (hello, Clarity Mom Collective 💛)
✨ Helped hundreds of patients return to the activities they love — stronger, more confident, and pain-free
✨ Continued building meaningful partnerships within our local community

From day one, our mission has been simple: you’re never just a diagnosis — you’re family.

To our patients, families, referral partners, and community — thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and growing with us. Every milestone we celebrate is because of YOU.

Here’s to continued growth, deeper impact, and many more years of clarity, strength, and community.

With gratitude,

Osteoporosis doesn’t mean stop moving.
It means move smarter.

Strong bones are supported by strong muscles, good balance, and strategic loading.

At Clarity Physical Therapy, we help you reduce fracture risk, improve confidence, and stay active for life.

Let’s get started.

An osteoporosis diagnosis doesn’t mean “be careful and stop moving.”
It means move smarter — and get stronger.

🦴 Bones respond to load.
When you challenge them safely with resistance training and weight-bearing activity, you stimulate bone remodeling and help slow further loss.

What that looks like:
🏋🏼‍♀️ Progressive strength training
🚶‍♀️ Walking & stair climbing
🦵 Squats, lunges, step-ups
⚖️ Balance work to reduce fall risk

Avoiding activity actually accelerates weakness.
The right plan builds strength, stability, and confidence.

At Clarity PT, we design individualized programs that protect your spine, improve posture, and help you safely load your bones.

Stronger muscles = stronger bones = fewer fractures.

🦴If your bones could talk… would they say they’re strong?

Osteoporosis quietly reduces bone density over time, increasing the risk of fractures — especially in the spine and hips.

It’s more common than most people realize.

This is Part 1 of our series breaking it all down — what it is, who it affects, and how physical therapy plays a role in prevention.

Knowledge is power. Movement is protection.
