ACL Rehab : The 5 Phases
Our ACL rehab process involves 5 distinct phases. The work completed in each phase helps to prepare the individual for the next phase. You cannot skip phases!
ACL rehabilitation is criteria-driven, not time-driven. This means that you will work towards meeting specific targets in each phase. If you don't put in the work in one phase, you will not be ready or able to move to the next. This process is proven to work and it ensures that we leave no stone unturned & that nothing gets missed during your rehabilitation.
We understand that ACL rehabilitation is a tough, lengthy process. There will be challenging periods throughout rehab, but we are here to guide you the entire way. Think about rehab as being an opportunity to come out the other side, physically & mentally stronger than your were pre-injury. This should absolutely be the case, as you have at least 12 months to develop various physical attributes, that will improve your sporting performance.
Ultimately, the goal of ACL rehab is not only to be playing sport 12 months after surgery, but to still be playing sport in 10 years time. With this in mind, we have refined our rehab process over the past 15 years, to ensure that you receive the latest evidence-based treatment & high quality exercise prescription.
