Your glutes do way more than make squats look good.

These powerhouse muscles support nearly every move you make:
• They stabilize your pelvis when you walk or run
• They help you stand upright with better posture
• They take pressure off your low back
• They drive strength in movements like climbing stairs or lifting

When your glutes are weak or underactive, your body starts to compensate—often leading to pain in your back, hips, or knees.

At Willow Physical Therapy, we assess how your glutes are functioning and build a plan to get them firing again.

🧠 Strong glutes = smarter movement = less pain.

Do you really need to rest that injury?
Sometimes yes—but not always.

While a short period of rest can help reduce pain and swelling, too much rest can actually slow recovery.

What your body often needs is guided movement—the kind that restores strength, flexibility, and confidence without making things worse.

That’s where physical therapy comes in.

We help you:
• Know when to rest
• Know how to move safely
• Heal smarter, not just slower

Movement is medicine—when it’s done right.
If you’re unsure whether to rest or get moving, give us a call. We’ll help you figure it out.

🦵ACL Surgery Recovery: What’s Normal?

Recovery after ACL reconstruction doesn’t happen overnight—but physical therapy plays a huge role in guiding that process.

Here’s a general timeline many patients experience:
Weeks 1–2: Reduce swelling, restore knee extension, begin gentle range of motion.
Weeks 3–6: Regain mobility and begin strengthening exercises.
Months 2–4: Build strength, stability, and movement confidence.
Months 4–6+: Prepare for return to running and sports (as cleared by your PT and surgeon).

Everyone’s timeline can vary based on factors like age, graft type, activity level, and surgical details.

Physical therapy helps make sure your recovery stays on track—safely and effectively—every step of the way.
