After nearly two decades treating and diagnosing sports related injuries in athletes from high school to college to Olympic levels, I grew tired of simply talking about injury prevention. That’s why I created MAAPD. Injury prevention is far less effective after the injury has occurred. Pressure to return ASAP is immense and comes from many angles. Real prevention starts early—by working with athletes at the beginning of their journey and helping guide them every step of the way.

No system can prevent every injury. MAAPD is designed to minimize injury risk from sports participation and training, make athletes aware of potential issues that increase risk, and assist return to play if / when an injury does occur.

My goal is simple: help you move better, train smarter, and stay in the game longer so you can chase the success you’re after.
