🏈 Sending strength to 💛
Yesterday, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered an ACL injury during the game against the Chargers. ACL injuries are serious, but with proper care and rehab, athletes often return to play at full strength.
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) stabilizes the knee during cutting, pivoting, and sudden movements. When it’s torn, recovery typically involves:
✔️ Surgery (if recommended)
✔️ Structured physical therapy to restore strength, stability, and proper movement
✔️ Gradual return to sport over 6–9+ months, depending on the athlete and sport demands
At F.I.T. Muscle & Joint Clinic, we focus on helping athletes and active individuals trust the process, regain confidence in movement, and reduce the risk of future injury.
🙏 Our thoughts are with Patrick, his family, and the Chiefs community. We’re rooting for a smooth recovery and can’t wait to see him back on the field stronger than ever!
