Can kangaroos help Aussie athletes bounce back?

Kangaroos could hold the key for sport stars looking to overcome career-ending ligament injuries.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries in the knee are common in many sports and can often derail the careers of professional sport stars.

Tom has experience here…he did his ACL in a motorcycle accident a few years ago. Join us this morning to learn how kangaroos could help Australian athletes – including Tom – bounce back from injury
