🦵 ACL Surgical Repair Series: Prep for Success! 💪

Are you facing ACL surgery? Don’t stress—we’ve got you covered! Here’s your pre-op game plan to set yourself up for a smooth recovery:

1️⃣ Chat with your surgeon about graft options. Your knee, your choice!
2️⃣ Strength is key! The stronger you are pre-op, the better your recovery. Let’s build that muscle!
3️⃣ Avoid high-impact activities. We want to keep that knee happy before surgery.
4️⃣ Plan your time off. Desk job? 1-2 weeks. Physical job? You might need 4-6 weeks or more.
5️⃣ Set up your recovery nest. Enlist family support and consider a cryotherapy machine for post-op comfort.
6️⃣ Mental prep is crucial. Understand your timeline and set realistic expectations.

Ready to get strong? Try these pre-op exercises:
🔥 Wall sits – Quad strength
🔥 Knee extensions – Range of motion
🔥 Side-lying hip abductions – Stability
🔥 Med ball hamstring curls – Flexibility
🔥 Long lever cable hamstring work – Endurance

A truly effective ACL prehab program is like a symphony – it needs all the instruments to create beautiful music. Typically, we’re looking at 20+ different exercises and movement patterns to build comprehensive capacity and graft resilience.

This full-spectrum approach is what really reduces your risk of re-injury and sets you up for long-term success. It’s not just about strength, but also balance, proprioception, agility, and sport-specific movements.

So while these exercises are a great start, they’re just a small part of your ACL journey. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the world of ACL prep and recovery.

Your knee (and future self) will thank you! 💪🦵

Always consult with your physio for a personalized program tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Let’s build that bulletproof knee together! 🎯

Employee Spotlight - Adam Carroll

We are thrilled to spotlight Adam, our newly appointed Director of Personal Training, whose journey of personal transformation has led him to this leadership role with Prime!

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Adam had a complicated upbringing to which participating in high level sport served as one of his only anchors. Adam’s determination to overcome adversity fueled his pursuit of athletic excellence, something that continues to drive him athletically to this day.

Emerging from this dark chapter, Adam embarked on a journey of sobriety, beginning on February 9th, 2013—just one day after his 21st birthday.

Returning to Vancouver, Adam rediscovered his passion for fitness and earned certifications as a personal trainer. His commitment to self-improvement and resilience in the face of adversity has not only transformed his life but positioned him as a beacon of hope and inspiration for others.

As our new Director of Personal Training, Adam brings over a decade of knowledge, and hands-on experience to the role. He has successfully impacted the lives of over 100 individuals through personalized fitness and nutrition programs. Additionally, Adam has mentored more than 50 clients, guiding them through mental health challenges, addiction, and past trauma.

In his leadership role, Adam is dedicated to creating a positive and empowering environment for our clients and trainers alike at Prime!

Drawing from his personal journey, he understands the transformative power of consistent daily actions and believes in crushing self-limiting beliefs.

Adam’s story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for positive change. As our Director of Personal Training, he is on a mission to lead, inspire, and help individuals become the best versions of themselves—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Congratulations Adam!!
