by Lisa Giannone. Lisa has extensive experience in human biomechanics
and physiology after earning her undergraduate degree from UCLA
and postgraduate training in Physical Therapy at UCSF.
She has local and national consultative
relationships with professional athletic teams as well as Olympic
and collegiate athletes. Her advice is frequently solicited by teams,
institutions, athletes and physicians from all over the United States
and abroad. She has given national and international lectures on
topics such as biomechanics, rehabilitation and training.
Giannone also serves as a rehabilitation
consultant for several biotechnology and sports medicine companies
for whom she has designed the rehabilitation protocols for orthopedic
surgical procedures. Her treatment protocols are used by physical
therapists and athletic trainers all over the country.
Her approach was featured in a Sports

Rice from a potentially career threatening knee injury. She has
also worked extensively with many other college and professional
football, basketball and baseball players as well as gold medal
Olympic athletes.
In addition to this, Active Care

directors, actors, stuntmen and musicians.
