Flexibility plays a key role in injury prevention and long-term performance. Stretching helps reduce stiffness, maintain range of motion, and support recovery after activity.

The final section of our program includes:
• Targeted stretches for major lower-body muscle groups
• Techniques to reduce post-exercise soreness
• Guidance on safe stretching for growing athletes

Recovery is just as important as training.

What an incredible few days at our Cerebral Palsy Summer Camp 2026! ☀️💙

From adaptive sports and water play to arts, crafts, and new friendships, our campers brought endless energy, courage, and joy to every activity. Seeing children of all abilities learn, play, and thrive together is exactly what this camp is all about.

A huge thank you to our rehabilitation team, volunteers, partners, caregivers, and families who helped make this year's camp such a memorable experience. Together, we created a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment where every camper could shine. 🌟

We're especially grateful for the community support that makes opportunities like this possible year after year. The smiles, laughter, and memories made over these three days will stay with us long after summer ends.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to do it again next year! 💙

What a night at the LuskinOIC Innovation + Access Gala! ✨

Together, we celebrated groundbreaking care, incredible community impact, and a major milestone: Tear the Mortgage, officially paying off a significant loan and taking another bold step toward a stronger future for the children and families we serve.

The evening was filled with unforgettable moments, from the energy of DJ Shigeki and a stunning performance by Marisa Corvo, to the laughter and inspiration brought by emcee Nic Novicki. A special thank you to Caroline Rhea, who kept the excitement high as our live auctioneer and helped make the night a tremendous success.

Most importantly, thank you to every donor, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who believes that breakthroughs belong to every child. Your generosity is helping transform pediatric orthopedic care and expand access for families who need it most.

As the school year winds down, it’s a good time to check in on backpack safety. Many kids carry bags that are 15–20% of their body weight, which can lead to back pain, poor posture, and even long-term spinal issues during key growth years.

A few simple tips can make a big difference:
• Keep backpacks under 10–15% of body weight
• Use both straps and adjust for a snug fit
• Look for padded straps or waist support
• Watch for warning signs like pain, numbness, or red marks

These small changes can help protect your child’s developing body and prevent bigger issues down the road.

Agility isn’t just about speed—it’s about control. This phase of the Dynamic Injury Prevention Program teaches athletes how to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction safely.

Agility training focuses on:
• Proper stopping mechanics
• Hip and knee stabilization
• Safer cutting and pivoting movements

These skills are critical for injury prevention during real-game situations.

A special thank you to South Bay-based Las Amigas | Los Amigos for being a Presenting Sponsor of the LuskinOIC Innovation Gala.

What makes this partnership so meaningful is the way they inspire the next generation to lead with compassion and purpose. Through Los Amigos, students in grades 6–12 volunteer their time at LuskinOIC events, clinics, and programs while learning the importance of philanthropy, leadership, and giving back to their community.

Their commitment reflects the very heart of our mission: creating a stronger future for children through care, connection, and service.

Thank you for your incredible partnership and continued support.
