Why ACL Rehabilitation Requires Specialist Care.
ACL recovery is not just about “getting strong again.”
​
It requires:
-
Objective strength testing
-
Neuromuscular control retraining
-
Force absorption and deceleration work
-
Progressive running and change-of-direction drills
-
Sport-specific conditioning
-
Return-to-play testing benchmarks
Many re-injuries occur due to incomplete rehabilitation or returning too early.
​
Our structured approach ensures you meet clear criteria before returning to sport.
Our ACL Return to Sport Program.
Phase 1: Early Post-Operative Protection & Activation
Restore knee extension, reduce swelling, activate quads, restore gait.
Phase 2: Strength & Control
Build quadriceps and hamstring strength, improve single-leg stability and balance.
Phase 3: Running & Power Development
Progressive return to running, plyometrics, force absorption training.
Phase 4: Sport-Specific Return
Cutting, pivoting, acceleration, deceleration and return-to-play testing.
Every stage is criteria-based — not just time-based.
