Are you ready to run and play sports after ACL surgery?

Using only healing timelines aren’t enough to determine your readiness.

Here are key things you should ask yourself before running or playing sports:
✅ Do you have full knee extension? 0 degrees isn’t always “full”
✅ Do you have enough quad strength? What’s your torque to bodyweight ratio?
✅ Can you tolerate high impact without increases in pain or swelling?
✅ Can you run, jump, cut, and change directions with confidence and without compensations?

Don’t guess in your ACL rehab.
You need appropriate testing to determine your readiness. Get an evaluation today to finally back to running.

Get more glute gains out of your RDL with this variation.

Performing it with the hip internally rotated and adducted as you hinge is great for loading glute max through longer muscle length.

Keep the opposite ASIS facing forward and prevent it from rotating backwards as you hinge to maintain the lengthening action. The ASIS can deviate backwards to compensate if you lack hip internal rotation/adduction mobility or limited tolerance in that combined flexion/IR/adduction joint position.

Inspired by and his hip thrust variation for loading at longer glute max muscle length 🔥

Lateral ankle sprains suck.

Most people only rest and ice before going back to playing sports. But if you’re looking for a seamless return, you need to be gradually exposed to those sport demands.

These late-stage rehab exercise progressions challenge the lateral ankle (left ankle in video) to resist rolling under higher loads and velocities which is the common mechanism of injury.
