Dr Nicholas Smith is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and is a certified strength and conditioning coach who helps grapplers own their injuries, develop explosive strength, and build relentless conditioning.
Being that the knees are the number one injured area in jiu-jitsu, I wanted to talk specifically with the doctor about knee injuries. According to many studies it is the joint most likely to get hurt while training, sparring, and competing.
So, in this episode we explore why that is, why knee injuries are so common, what you can do to give yourself the best shot of preventing knee injuries, how to train around them, and the steps to take if you actually do sustain a knee injury.
It’s a phenomenal conversation that I hope will help any of you out there dealing with knee problems or will at some point in your BJJ career.
