NEWS FLASH: WOMEN ARE

likely to suffer injury than men (de-
pending on the sport). For instance,
female athletes are more prone
to knee injuries such as "runner's
knee" (patellofemoral pain syn-
drome) and meniscal (cartilage) de-
generation, as well as rupture of the
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL),
which helps stabilize the knee joint.
The reason for women's greater
likelihood of sustaining sports-
related knee injury rests largely
with smaller muscles (compared
with men) supporting their knees
and more lax ligaments. Women
also have wider pelvises than men,
and their thigh bones angle in more
sharply from hip to knee, rendering
their knees less stable. A physical

physical therapy. To schedule an ap-

ICAL THERAPY AND SPORTS
MEDICINE. We have been provid-
ing physical therapy care for over
32 years. You'll find us convenient-
ly located at 2300 Kati Ct., Ste. B
and can be reached by calling (360)

come. Same day appointments are
available.
P.S. Female athletes can partially
avoid knee injuries by training
themselves to jump and land with
their hips, knees, and ankles flexed
instead of landing in an upright
position (to better absorb more of
the shock of landing).
