Femme FC Podcast | Episode 12. Mechanism to Movement for Smarter ACL Rehab in Female Footballers

Why do ACL injuries occur so frequently in women’s football, and what can we actually do about it?

In this deep-dive episode, Nicole sits down with Vittoria Marin, physiotherapist at the world-renowned Isokinetic Medical Group, to break down the complex interplay of anatomy, biomechanics, hormones, training environments, and neuromuscular control that influence ACL injury risk in female players. Vittoria shares her approach to making ACL rehabilitation more individualized, specific, and movement-driven, transforming “mechanisms” into meaningful and effective rehab strategies.

Together they explore:

✨ Key biomechanical patterns linked to ACL injuries
✨ How cultural and environmental factors shape risk and readiness
✨ Video-based mechanism analysis and its importance for individualized rehab
✨ The power of neuromuscular training, movement retraining, and the Isokinetic “green room”
✨ The seven areas of improvement Vittoria highlights in her recent article on ACL injuries in women’s football

This episode is packed with practical insights for physiotherapists, S&C coaches, rehab specialists, and anyone supporting female footballers through injury and return to play.
