ACL Myth #3:
“Once the surgeon clears you… you can play.” ❌

We don’t want to undermine the importance of a surgical clearance, but it’s ONLY one part of the return-to-sport process.

Too many athletes mistake a post-op check-in for being game-ready — and that’s where things go wrong.

Get cleared by your rehab practitioner, not JUST the surgeon

From PCL rupture to one of our highest performers 🙏

“He wasn’t the same after he did his ACL”

That’s just something you won’t hear after going through our sports rehab program

Sure returning to play is great, but returning to perform is where it’s at

Prioritising our load tracking over the offseason for our athletes thanks to 💪

Crazy what insights you can get from simple load management.

Especially with our younger athletes. Extra off-season training, summer camps, boot camps, school trainings, rep training etc etc

One thing that I personally feel that QLD rugby league does really poorly is athlete load management. We have kids doing school training, then rep training, then club training….all in one day. And this cycle continues

And parents will wonder why their kids are playing poorly, or continuously sustaining injuries.

Being able to track loads for our guys has been a big advantage for us to adjust programs, catch a potentially nasty injury and ensure performance isn’t majorly dropping

If you’re serious about your sport and your not tracking your - start doing it

Getting our youth athletes comfortable in the gym isn’t just about teaching them squats and deadlifts — it’s about exposing them to the nuances of the gym environment.

The little things matter just as much as the big lifts. How to use wrist wraps for a trap bar deadlift, how to adjust a squat rack safely, how to attach the rope to the sled, how to re-rack weights properly, move around other lifters, and respect the flow of a training space.

When young athletes learn these micro-skills early, the gym stops feeling intimidating and can become an environment which they feel truly comfortable in - which in turn further fosters their athletic development

Watching our athletes improve their performance is obviously highly rewarding, but seeing how comfortable they grow week to week in the gym environment is almost equally as rewarding

Which ACL graft is actually “best”?

Hamstring? Patellar tendon (BTB)? Quad tendon?

The truth: the research doesn’t show a universal winner — just different trade-offs that matter more or less depending on you.

What the big registries + meta-analyses actually show:
✅ Similar long-term outcomes between grafts
✅ Similar return-to-sport rates
✅ Similar knee stability
⚠️ Differences mostly relate to donor-site symptoms, specific strength deficits, and revision risk in certain age groups

In other words:

“Lower revision risk” ≠ “this graft is best for everyone.”
Perfect graft choice = sport demands + anatomy + surgeon experience + your rehab quality.

Here’s what matters WAY more than graft type:
• Quality of surgical technique
• Hitting quad + hamstring strength targets
• Restoring power, RFD, movement quality
• A structured 9–12 month rehab plan
• Proper return-to-sport testing

The graft is just the starting point.

Rehab is the difference-maker.

Apparently missing park run is just never an option ever

23/11/2025

It may look like just a pole with bolts ductaped to it.

But it is much much more than that

Introducing……The ISO BAR

After months of testing numerous prototypes, we have now released the final product

Adjustable to any rack, just peel off the ductape, move the bolts, and re-ductape them to your desired position

At SFP we don’t just physio, we invent inventions
