AUBURN, Ala. - Dr. Matt Busbee’s proficiency in the pool, his profession and his practice can all be traced to the same origin: a knee injury in high school.

An avid swimmer in elementary school in Mobile, Busbee switched sports in middle school, to basketball and cross country, until injuries forced a change of plans.

A dislocated knee cap in eighth grade. More knee injuries in ninth and tenth, requiring surgery and a year of rehab.

After sitting out all of tenth grade, Busbee reinjured his knee in cross country his junior year.
