ACL rehab, reducing groin injury risk and athlete profiling with Enda King (Head of Performance at the Sports Surgery Clinic)

Enda comes on the podcast as an expert in the areas of athletic groin pain and ACL rehabilitation. In all honesty, it's always a little intimidating when physiotherapists come on the podcast, especially those with as much knowledge of biomechanics as Enda. Sports Surgery Clinic, Dublin is a great place and one that I visited 2 years ago. Since then there has been the addition of a performance facility which looks incredible. If you're ever in Dublin, do pay them a visit!

In this episode, you will learn -

• Who is Enda King (background, education and current role)
• Athletic groin pain
  • Prevalence
  • Reasons for occurrence
  • Rehab & return to performance
  • Influence of COD movement patterns
• ACL
