Reaching the 6.5-month milestone post-surgery is a huge win, but it’s also a critical time for an athlete's technique. Today we are focusing on alternating single-leg jumps using the Shuttle Systems MVP.

This gravity-reduced setup allows our athletes to practice high-level deceleration and landing mechanics with less joint stress. It’s all about building "Active For Life" habits for a confident, high-performance return to the pitch! ⚽️

Note: This is an advanced phase of rehab. Not for beginners!

As always — train both legs!

Effective and efficient rehab is criterion-based, not time-based.

Check out the latest blog post by Matt Weissbach, PT, DPT, EdD: "Optimizing ACL Reconstruction Rehab: A Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Approach | Phase 2.”

Phase 2 of ACL reconstruction recovery shifts the focus from basic healing to building a rock-solid foundation of strength and functional control. This critical middle stage introduces progressive resistance training and dynamic movements to restore muscle mass and improve single-leg stability. By emphasizing proper movement patterns and neuromuscular control, patients can safely bridge the gap between early walking and advanced athletic drills. Strengthening the entire kinetic chain during this phase is essential for protecting the new graft and ensuring a confident return to peak performance.

Move beyond basic recovery. Phase 2 of our ACL rehab focuses on 80% limb symmetry, advanced strength training, and returning to running with the Boost 3 treadmill.

A lot of physical therapists know something is off before they can fully articulate what it is.

The caseload keeps growing, the time with each patient keeps shrinking, and somewhere along the way the job stops feeling like the career they worked so hard to build.

In Episode 2 of the Evolve PT Roundtable Discussion, our therapists talk openly about that experience and what finally brought them to a clinic where things are done differently.

If that resonates with you, this is worth a watch.

7 weeks post-op and crushing the comeback trail! ⚽️

We’ve officially hit Phase 2 of rehab for this pro soccer player following her right-sided ACL reconstruction.

Today’s focus?

Single-Leg Press paired with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR).

In the early phases of rehab, we want the “pump” without the “stress.” BFR allows us to trigger muscle growth and endurance using lighter loads, protecting the healing graft while waking up those quads.

The Goals:

⭐️ Nail the mechanics: Improving gait and walking patterns.
⭐️ Functional strength: Building the power to conquer stairs with ease.
⭐️ The Foundation: Preparing the joint for future lunging and return-to-impact.

Progress isn’t a straight line, but we’re moving in the right direction. Let’s get it!

It’s all about the comeback! 👏

We are currently in the home stretch of MCL rehab for this high school soccer player. By using lateral jumps on the Shuttle Systems Balance Pro, we’re making sure her knee is stable, strong, and ready for the demands of a full season.

Whether it’s building confidence or re-learning how to move explosively, Phase 3 is where the hard work pays off. ⚽️✨

10 weeks post-PRP and we are NOT slowing down! 🔥

This high school dual-sport athlete is putting in the work after a partial patellar tendon tear. We’re pairing single-leg squats with BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) bands to level up the intensity without overloading the joint.

BFR allows him to build serious muscle strength using lower weight, ensuring the tendon stays safe while the muscles stay fueled for his return to the field. ⚡️

Keep grinding. The return is coming. 📈

Performing these exercises should not cause pain. If you experience pain while exercising, decrease the speed of your movement. If the pain persists - STOP. Mild soreness after exercising may be experienced after beginning a new exercise.

Landing is a skill. The exit is an advantage. ⚽️

We’re breaking down the mechanics of “The Re-entry.” After landing her final jump, she’s hitting a 90° directional change and exploding into a 3-step sprint.

🧠 Why this matters: Most non-contact injuries happen during these exact transitions. We master these progressions in a controlled environment before returning to full-speed team practice.

Always train both legs!

Is your hamstring rehab hitting a plateau? Check out how this former D1 soccer player is tackling Phase 3! ⚽️

Today’s focus is on Quadruped Kickbacks (Level 2), targeting the glutes and lumbopelvic girdle. To speed up the process, we’ve added Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands.

The Science: BFR allows us to challenge the muscle and brain into thinking it’s lifting heavy weights by restricting venous blood flow. This facilitates healing and muscle growth while keeping the healing hamstring safe from excessive strain.

As always — train both legs!

Late Phase 1 and already leveling up! ⚽️🔥

Dominating ACL rehab isn’t just about strength; it’s about how the brain communicates with the body. We are currently challenging this pro soccer player’s proprioception using Senaptec strobe eyewear during overhead rebounder throws.

Removing consistent visual data can improve joint awareness and reaction timing. It’s about building a more resilient athlete who can handle the chaos of the pitch long before she steps back onto it.

The goal: Train the brain to trust the knee, even when the strobe eyewear is flickering. ⚡️

One of the biggest frustrations for many physical therapists is documentation. It can pull your attention away from patient care and add extra work at the end of the day.

In this clip, one of our PTs shares how Evolve Physical Therapy is approaching that problem differently. By using AI to support note-taking and documentation, our therapists can work more efficiently, keep notes thorough, and stay focused on what matters most: one-on-one patient care.

This is one more example of how Evolve is working to remove common PT pain points and create a better experience for both clinicians and patients.

We have a physical therapist job opening!
