Introducing: The ORKA ACL Summit.
A 3-day LIVE EVENT on all things ACL Rehabilitation.
It’s no secret, managing ACL Rehab is never linear.
Practitioners are forced to make decisions in the context of labyrinth-like situations, taking into account multiple domains for safe return to sport, including age, gender, sport, graft harvest type, different training ages, strength, power, motor control, explosiveness, reactive strength and psychological confidence to name but a few domains.
2 years ago, we introduced The ACL Experience, an individually curated virtual educational offering, where knowledge, systems, and ex*****on led participants from all across North America to gain clarity and confidence, have immediate and direct impact on patient outcomes, and kept clients on their caseloads for the entirety of the rehab journey, simultaneously building their brand and positioning as go-to practitioners in their respected communities.
This pivot from virtual to LIVE EVENTS is an attempt to increase reach, and work together with like-minded practitioners to help build out more robust ACL management tool-kit’s, together, bringing in a new standard for ACL Rehabilitation and care across North America.
Coming January 2025. Seats Limited.
Stay Tuned.
