🦵 ACL rehab 💪 There's no magic tricks to achieve a great outcome following ACL injury; whether the athlete has an ACL reconstruction or pursues a non-operative rehabilitation plan. All the exercises you see in this video are from the paper by Eitzen et al 2010, and are introduced when the knee is "quiet" (almost full or full ROM, no quads lag, minimal swelling). Full paper link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20710097/ They are designed to be performed 2x per week for AT LEAST 5 weeks either

Pre-op ACL reconstruction strengthening - it's not a waste of time! Did you know that once the knee has settled following ACL injury, a 5 week strength, plyometric and balance program (prior to surgery in those choosing to have a reconstruction) has been shown to significantly improve post-op knee function and have higher return to sport rates in those who didn't do the program? In a study by Failla et al (2016), once the knee had "settled" post ACL injury (effusion resolved, ROM restored, quads

You're going to want to read this on ACL injury 👇 ACL.Healing vs ACLR - How do the early numbers stack up from Cross Bracing Protocol first 80 patients? The Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP) has copped some heat over the past couple of years - and until the EMBRACE trial is done and dusted, we'll have both sides of the fence arguing until they're blue in the face. But the early numbers on re-injury rates and return to pre-injury sport numbers can't be ignored. Return to Sport Numbers After 1 year, o

RUNNING DRILLS: Return to running following ACL reconstruction is a major milestone for the patient. The problem being is that it might be 6 months between the patient's last run (time of ACL injury) and their next run; with most patients "forgetting" how to run, thus their lower limbs not prepared for the dynamic nature of running. So to bridge the gap between being strong in the gym and being able to run, running drills can be very helpful. Here are a few options for you to play around with. A
