Rehab Your ACL With An Expert

​

The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is one of the main ligaments stabilizing the knee. ACL injury also called ACL tear are common sports injuries, and many of these occur without contact. These injuries are commonly seen in sports such as football, soccer, basketball, skiing, and volleyball. Once the ACL is torn, it does not heal on its own. 

ACL Reconstruction is a specialized surgery to reconstruct the ligament inside of the knee that provides stability to the knee.  Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are one of the most common injuries of the knee in sports. The recovery is typically about 1 year from time of surgery to return to the field and the rehab that you do over that 1 year will determine the outcome of not only your career in sports but the health of your knee in the long run.

​

We have therapists who are specially trained to treat ACL and we have the equipment to ensure success with your recovery. We take our athletes from day 1 post-op all the way through to return to field. If the knee is not treated properly after ACL reconstruction you may end up with long term strength deficits of the quad and hamstring, limited range of motion, and early onset of osteoarthritis. In order to reduce this risk, it is very important to work with a physical therapist that has a deep understanding of the the rehab process for these injuries. 

​

Rather than treating with a cookie cutter approach we use a science backed strategy to progressing through rehab phases including strength testing, outcome testing, and return to sport testing to determine when progressions to a new phase are appropriate.
