Matt and Nicole Run through the PEP Program with WWPHS South Girls Lacrosse Team
Mar. 16, 2010
Matt Connor, DPT and Nicole Siegel, DPT, both physical
therapists at Sports Physical Therapy in Princeton, took the West
Windsor-Plainsboro High School South Girls Lacrosse team through a
rigourous PEP program training on Tuesday, March 16. The PEP
Program (which stands for Prevent injury
Enhance Performance), is
designed as a 15-minute warm-up to be performed 3 days a week
before practice. The program involves dynamic stretching,
strengthening and plyometric drills, all designed to strengthen and
prevent injury to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). The
physical therapists of Sports Physical Therapy Institute are very
excited to offer the PEP program to the local athletic
community. If you are interested in learning more, or would like to
schedule a time for a physical therapist to present the program to
your athletes, please contact the Sports Physical Therapy Institute
nearest to you.
