At HSS, we are dedicated to helping people of all ages achieve their mobility, movement, and strength goals. Much of our sports medicine research centers around prevention and best practices for athletes. Studies show that preventing common overuse injuries like tendonitis and stress fractures in young athletes can reduce their risk of bigger injuries, chronic pain, and mobility issues later in life. Neuromuscular training specifically develops muscle memory that optimizes athletic movement and can eliminate 50% to 80% of non-contact ACL injuries.
By promoting proper technique, safe training practices, and adequate rest, athletes of all ages can stay healthy, train consistently, and reach their full potential. Our athlete programs and resources are meant to be easily incorporated into any sports training regimen.

This long-standing partnership has established the nation’s first ACL Injury Coalition aimed at preventing ACL injuries. This multiyear initiative brings together not only clinical experts, but representatives from high school athletic associations, youth epidemiologists, and insurance companies to focus on the widespread implementation of neuromuscular training programs which have been shown to reduce the risk of ACL injury in high school athletes by 50-80%.
Previous collaborations include the Healthy Sport Index, which assesses the benefits and risks of the most popular youth sports, as well as other youth sports safety projects and initiatives.
