💪 ⁣Rehab considerations!

🍑 A study from 2018 found that mini band placement around the feet generated the highest amount of gluteal activity without increasing TFL activity when compared to band placement around the knees or ankles.

👋🏻 We summarised this study for you. Want to get all the key clinical takeaways from it?

So you've torn your ACL?? Now what??.....

Your anterior cruciate ligament connects your thigh bone (femur), to your shin bone (tibia). This band of connective tissue stops the tibia from moving forwards, relative to the femur.

Most ACL tears occur due to contact related cause (falling on or forcing the knee to bend in ways it shouldn't)

Conservative management involves the strengthening of surrounding structures and
possible regrowth of the ligament (in partial tears).

Surgical management is what this post is focused on. It involves the cleaning up of the torn ligament and then replacing it with a donor ligament.

This series of images goes into further detail on how that surgery and reconstruction takes place.

Welcome to Sean Cressy Physiotherapy!

Here's a bit of info on our owner and namesake:

Physiotherapy always seemed to the perfect merger between my passion for all things medical and the human body, and my obsession with sports. After obtaining my B.Sc Physiotherapy at Wits in 2016, I worked a state Neurological Rehab facility (Southrand Hospital) for my community service year. This helped me gain invaluable experience in the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of complex conditions and cases.

Thereafter, I worked within a sports and orthopaedic private practice in Illovo, Johannesburg which exposed me to many different sportsmen and women, further growing in confidence and ability.

I have assisted with club rugby at the Wanderers Rugby Club as well as National Athletes, Boxers and Powerlifters, international EFC fighters and am now the current head physio for the South African Ice Hockey federation.

My experience means that I can comfortably assist any person from any background, and not only help them get back to work, school, sport or gym, but also ensure that they stay there! I firmly believe in the principle that a solid foundation within your rehabilitation prevents future issues, whilst correcting any other insufficiencies you may have.
