FEMALE ATHLETIC PEFORMANCE
Train like a girl at Optimus Health.
Train like a girl is about improving performance and reducing injury rates. Train like a girl is about creating a safe and inviting place to train for all female athletes, of all ages and levels, across all sports.
Train like a girl is a program that will empower females to ask questions, to challenge the status quo, to give it a crack, to tick every box and to stay fit and healthy.
Keeping you in the game with a focus on injury prevention
Female athletes are up to 8 times more likely to tear their ACL than male athletes, leading to season-ending injuries.
More than 70% of ACL injuries occur without a collision, occurring as a result of a deceleration episode such as landing from a jump, a pivot or when the knee buckles.
One of the leading factors for this is due to strength and control of the muscles that protect the knee during pivoting, cutting and landing activities.
Our strength and conditioning programs for all female athletes incorporate athlete & sport specific strengthening for common female injuries.
but if you do get injured, providing the best support to get you back, stronger then before
Not only are our Strength & Conditioning team experts in what they do, but they work closely with our Physiotherapists.
We provide a seamless transition between acute injury management (physiotherapy) to Return to play (Strength & Conditioning).
