The overall aim of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to restore stability to the knee preventing the forwards movement of the shin bone on the thigh bone and to provide rotational stability. In an ideal world the chosen graft should recreate the anatomical, structural and functional properties of the original ACL.

Women are more prone to ACL injuries for a number of reasons.
1. Women have a smaller intracondular notch (an anatomical variant)
2. Their ACL is smaller in size and therefore not as strong.
3. Women have laxer ligaments in general.
But we can bridge the gap with tailored training and injury prevention.

Most athletes return to sport 9–12 months after ACL surgery, but timing alone isn’t enough. Safe return depends on strength, functional testing, and confidence in the knee. Meeting these criteria reduces re-injury risk and ensures the knee can handle sport-specific demands.

Interval training improves the body’s ability to perform and recover from repeated high-intensity efforts. High-intensity interval training significantly improves VO₂max and running performance in trained athletes.

Better aerobic fitness means you can:
Run harder for longer
Faster between efforts
Have better fatigue resistance with improved performance under pressure

Diastasis Re**us Abdominis (DRAM) is the widening of the linea alba resulting in separation of the re**us abdominis muscles. It commonly occurs during pregnancy and may persist postnatally.

While often viewed as a cosmetic concern, DRAM is primarily a functional issue. Reduced tension through the abdominal wall can impact:

• Trunk stability and load transfer
• Intra-abdominal pressure management
• Lumbar spine support
• Pelvic floor function

Common clinical presentations may include:
• Abdominal doming or coning with exertion
• Perceived core weakness
• Lumbopelvic discomfort
• Difficulty returning to higher-level exercise

Here is some more info on what to expect

Understanding sports recovery protocols can make a significant difference in how quickly athletes return to training after injury.
Physio's at Bend + Mend help manage acute pain while supporting the body's natural recovery process. We focus on the critical early stages after injury, when proper intervention can influence both healing timelines and the quality of tissue repair.
Recent research in sports physiotherapy emphasises the importance of structured recovery that addresses inflammation, pain management, and progressive loading.
Key considerations in any sports recovery protocol include: timing of intervention, appropriate rest periods balanced with strategic movement, and monitoring progress markers to adjust treatment as needed.
Worth noting: recovery isn't just about managing symptoms, it's about creating optimal conditions for tissue healing while maintaining as much function as possible throughout the process.
