🦵 ACL Rehab: More Than Just Getting Back to Sport
Rehabilitation after an ACL injury is not just about healing the ligament, it’s about restoring strength, stability, coordination, and confidence.
✅ Early phase: Focuses on swelling control, range of motion, and quadriceps activation.
✅ Middle phase: Gradual strength and neuromuscular training to rebuild control.
✅ Late phase: Sport-specific drills, plyometrics, and agility work — all tailored to the individual’s goals.
✅ Return-to-sport testing: Evidence-based benchmarks ensure safety and long-term success, reducing re-injury risk.
