๐Ÿฆต Scheduled for ACL surgery? What you do BEFORE surgery can have a huge impact on ACL recovery after.

๐ŸงItโ€™s called prehab โ€” and most people donโ€™t emphasize it enough or skip it entirely. Hereโ€™s why thatโ€™s a mistake:

๐Ÿ“Š What the research actually shows:

โœ… The goals of prehab before ACL reconstruction address the most common early deficits after injury: loss of motion, quad weakness, and instability.

โœ… Just 4โ€“6 weeks of prehab can improve early to mid-term strength and motion โ€” and improve both the timing and odds of returning to sport.

โœ… Muscle atrophy begins soon after an ACL injury, making pre-surgical rehab critical โ€” with the primary goal being to prevent quad atrophy before it compounds the challenges of post-op recovery.

๐Ÿ’ช The stronger and more mobile your knee is going INTO surgery, the better positioned you are coming OUT of it.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธDonโ€™t waste the weeks between diagnosis and surgery. That window is an opportunity โ€” use it.
Save this if you or someone you know has an ACL surgery coming up. ๐Ÿ“Œ

๐Ÿค•Weโ€™re 2 weeks into ACL surgery recovery with a high-level lacrosse athlete โ€” and we are focused on guiding her foundation.

๐ŸซตAt this stage, our priorities are:

โœ… Decrease swelling & calm the knee
โœ… Restore full knee extension
โœ… Begin flexion range of motion
โœ… Patellar mobility work
โœ… Quad activation (fight AMI early)
โœ… Normalize gait mechanics

๐Ÿ˜ญThis is the protective phase of post-op ACL rehab โ€” and rushing it is one of the biggest mistakes I see.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโ€โžก๏ธEarly range of motion, quad strength, and swelling control directly impact long-term outcomes and return-to-sport timelines.

๐Ÿ˜คIf youโ€™re recovering from ACL reconstruction โ€” or you treat ACL athletes โ€” this stage deserves patience and precision.

๐ŸคœDoing the fundamental things well sets ACL patients up for long term success.

1๏ธโƒฃ E-stim
2๏ธโƒฃ Knee extension
3๏ธโƒฃ Knee flexion
4๏ธโƒฃ Quad sets

๐ŸšถSwelling and gait training are also extremely important in the early phase.

๐Ÿ—ฃDO NOT over complicate the immediate post-op phase. This phase is CRUCIAL for the overall ACL recovery process and will significantly hinder process if not done properly.

๐Ÿ™‹The priorities are simple
1๏ธโƒฃ Get the quads firing
2๏ธโƒฃ Work on flexion and extension A LOT and get them full
3๏ธโƒฃ Get swelling down
4๏ธโƒฃ Work on gait training

๐Ÿ˜คDonโ€™t rush this phase. Set the foundation AND THEN build off of it.

๐Ÿ‘‰Here is an alternative knee extension range of motion exercise I like to use. The band serves as a cue to push against it to promote extension.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธACL rehab is difficult, complex, mentally and physically demanding, and long.

๐ŸคฏOur field has certainly grown but still has a long way to go to improve the quality of care around ACL rehab.

๐Ÿค”Many clinics still use outdated time based protocols, clinicians donโ€™t care to continue learning about proper progressions, basic strength and conditioning principles, donโ€™t stay up to date with research and donโ€™t understand return to sport testing.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธIf they donโ€™t care to learn and provide high quality of care, who suffers? THE PATIENT. That is why I care so much about spreading ACL content.

๐Ÿค•Weโ€™re 1 week into ACL surgery recovery with a high-level lacrosse athlete โ€” and this phase matters more than most people realize.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธThe first phase of rehab sets the foundation for everything that follows in ACL rehab.

๐ŸซตAt this stage, our priorities are:

โœ… Decrease swelling & calm the knee
โœ… Restore full knee extension (non-negotiable)
โœ… Begin flexion range of motion
โœ… Patellar mobility work
โœ… Quad activation (fight AMI early)
โœ… Normalize gait mechanics

๐Ÿ˜ญThis is the protective phase of post-op ACL rehab โ€” and rushing it is one of the biggest mistakes I see.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโ€โžก๏ธEarly range of motion, quad strength, and swelling control directly impact long-term outcomes and return-to-sport timelines.

๐Ÿ˜คIf youโ€™re recovering from ACL reconstruction โ€” or you treat ACL athletes โ€” this stage deserves patience and precision.

๐Ÿ™‹The labrum is a ring of cartilage that goes around the femoral acetabulum (socket of the hip). It deepens the socket to improve the stability of the hip.

๐Ÿค• The hip labrum can become torn through an injury such as a fall or collision with another person.

๐Ÿค”Additionally, some peoples anatomy makes them more susceptible to labrum tears. Depending on the location of the tear, it potentially can present as groin pain.

๐Ÿ’ชHere are some exercises we did in the to attempt to manage a labrum injury non operative. Youโ€™ll notice we are doing a variety of exercises all targeting the hip.
