17 weeks ago, the goal was just walking. Today? We’re taking on the FIFA 360° Challenge! ⚽️🔥

Watch as this high school powerhouse proves that ACL rehab is about more than just recovery—it’s about coming back stronger. We’ve integrated into her physical therapy to bring in the power of gamification.

Why we love this setup:

✅ Engagement: It turns a “drill” into a game.
✅ Reaction Time: Mimics real-game cognitive load.
✅ Results: Boosts confidence and coordination when it matters most.

The progress is real, the intensity is up, and she’s just getting started. 👊

Physical therapy should be FUN!

Performing these exercises should not cause pain.  If you experience pain while exercising, reduce your speed.  If the pain persists - STOP.  Mild soreness after exercising may occur when starting a new routine.

Post-SLAP tear, we are officially in the rebuilding phase. Current priority? Restoring shoulder external rotation and building rock-solid girdle stability.

Since we can’t go heavy yet, we’re using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands to level up the gains.

The Science: BFR enables significant muscle hypertrophy with low loads, protecting the healing labrum while still forcing the muscles to grow and adapt.

We are currently 12 weeks post-op with a talented high school athlete (Football & Baseball) recovering from a complex ACL reconstruction and bilateral meniscus repair.

One of our favorite tools for this stage of rehab is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training.

By using BFR bands during exercises such as kickbacks, we can increase muscle fiber recruitment and build strength with very light resistance. This is crucial for protecting the healing meniscus and ACL graft while still making those necessary strength gains to return him to the game.

Current Protocol:

✅ 3 Sets of 30 Reps
✅ Emphasis on full terminal knee extension

As always — train both legs!

D1 mentality, even in rehab. 😤⚽️

We’re leveling up this former D1 school player’s recovery from a hamstring strain with Bulgarian Split Squats.

To maximize the gains, we’ve added Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands.

Why BFR? By restricting blood flow during low-load, high-repetition exercises, we can trick the body into creating a massive anabolic response.

This means:
✅ Faster tissue repair
✅ Increased muscle growth
✅ Less joint stress during recovery

It’s not just about training harder; it’s about training smarter. 🧠💪

14 weeks (3.5 months) post-Brostrom surgery, and this high school phenom is dominating her Phase 3 rehab. 😤⚽️

Today’s focus: Split Squat Jumps with a Switch Hitch. Why the “Hitch”? Unlike a standard switch jump, the switch hitch forces the nervous system to react even faster. It’s not just about jumping; it’s about learning to react explosively under tension—an absolute essential for a return to high-level soccer.

🔥 The Work: 3 sets of 5 jumps per leg.

Progress Report: 4 Weeks Post-Op ⚡️

Recovery isn’t just about healing; it’s about advancing. Our 62-year-old patient is performing exceptionally well following his left hip labral repair. To maintain that momentum, we’ve added to his program.

Why Microgravity? It allows us to:

✅ Start walking sooner
✅ Focus on perfect form
✅ Remove the “fear” of impact

We started him at 80% of his body weight at a steady 2.5 mph for 10 minutes.

⚠️ Important: You must be medically cleared before performing this exercise

The Science of the Comeback: 10 Weeks Post-SLAP Repair

Rehab isn’t just about “getting better”—it’s about coming back stronger. For this high school star, that means mastering the fundamentals:

✅ Movement: Standing Internal Rotations for strength and stability.
✅ Innovation: Using BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) bands to boost hypertrophy with low-load, high-rep volume.

Huge Milestone Alert! 🏈

Help us cheer on our local high school football player! He just advanced to Phase 2 of his MPFL Reconstruction recovery.

Today we’re highlighting a "cheat code" in sports rehab: BFR Bands. These bands allow him to perform a massive leg workout with very light weights, keeping his healing knee safe while his muscles strengthen.

The road back to Friday Night Lights is all about working smarter!

To advance her return-to-play training following ACL reconstruction, we’re introducing the Fast Feet Drill with .

The Goal: Rebuilding the brain-to-body connection.
The Drill: 🟢 Tap the GREEN pod with either foot as fast as possible. 🚫 Ignore the distractors (ORANGE, BLUE, PINK).

Why this matters for ACL recovery: Post-surgery, it’s not just about knee strength; it’s about reactive agility. This drill forces the athlete to make split-second decisions while moving, mimicking the chaos of a real match and building confidence in every cut and plant.
