Module 16, “Reducing Lower Extremity Injuries in Females,” presents Dr. Tim Maggs’ proactive, research-based system for protecting female athletes from preventable lower-extremity injuries. With women’s participation in sports—such as flag football, wrestling, and basketball—rising rapidly, traditional reactive care has not kept pace with the biomechanical demands placed on young athletes.

In this module, Dr. Maggs explains how structural imbalances and foot collapse create predictable patterns of stress that lead to injury. Drawing from his study of 186 female athletes, he shows that 100% had some degree of foot collapse and that approximately 70% had more collapse in one foot than the other, leading to uneven stress through the knees, hips, and spine.

You’ll learn how to:

Use X-ray protocols and the Actuary Alex classification system to objectively measure leg length inequality and femoral head height.
Understand the five Actuary Alex categories and how each responds to orthotics and lifts.
Implement custom orthotics and, when needed, hip lifts as the foundation of a truly preventive care plan.
Shift your practice from a reactive, symptom-based model to a proactive, structural model focused on preserving your patients’ musculoskeletal health for life.
This content is designed for clinicians who want to become the go-to expert for female and youth athletes, offering objective testing, clear explanations, and a lifelong structural protection strategy.
