Oak Knoll to Host ACL Prevention and Recovery Panel – Patch.com

Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child will host "ACL: The Physical and Mental Prevention and Recovery," a panel discussion, on Monday, September 23, 2019, from 6:30-8 p.m. on the school's 11-acre campus in Summit, New Jersey.

The event is free and open to the public. Pre-registration suggested.

The school's panel of doctors will discuss both prevention and recovery of the ACL injury. Physical and mental aspects will be discussed and how proper training is vital to both the prevention and recovery of such a prevalence injury. The conversation will focus on preventative techniques and then transition into what happens after injury. We will then focus the conversation on both the physical and mental aspects of rehabilitation and coming back from what once was thought to be a career ending injury.
