ACL Rehab & ACL Return to Sport

THE EXPERTS IN RETURN TO SPORT FOR ATHLETES WITH ACL REPAIRS

For athletes in high-impact sports, or those that require sudden stops, cutting, or changes in direction, ACL injuries are all too common. In fact, many of these injuries may even require surgery, resulting in an even lengthier recovery period of anywhere from six to eighteen months.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER ACL SURGERY

 

Post-surgical rehabilitation for athletes is a lengthy process following a surgical ACL repair. We understand that this can be physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging on an athlete of any age. There are a lot of ups and downs to the rehab process – you go from being a star athlete to sitting on the sidelines for as long as a year. However, the team at UNITE.rehab.perform works hard to make your rehabilitation process as smooth as possible, so you can get back to enjoying your active lifestyle.

Traditional physical therapy clinics help patients get back to normal activities of daily living, like walking and navigating stairs. At UNITE.rehab.perform, we understand that athletes who are undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery need that and much much more. From the beginning, our team of sports physical therapists take the entire athlete into consideration to help maintain their conditioning, upper body strength, and mental sanity. 

 

Once protocol allows, our team will take you through a rigorous return to sport program to ensure that you are physically ready and confident to return with as minimized risk of re-tear as possible. Get ready for sessions filled with sport specific drills like sprinting, cutting, dribbling, passing, and more!

During the course of ACL reconstruction physical therapy, we will prioritize:

This is all done to make sure that you are performing optimally and not compensating. Our mission is to provide the proper techniques and resources to you so you can get back to the game with regained function and a significantly decreased risk of sustaining another injury.

DID YOU KNOW: Unsettling Statistics for ACL injuries…

There are some intimidating statistics regarding ACL injuries – according to the National Institutes of Health, it is estimated that approximately 350,000 ACL reconstructions are performed annually across the nation. Despite surgical repair, those who sustained an ACL injury in need of correction are 79% more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis in the future and 20% more likely to suffer a re-injury within 2 years of their procedure. In addition, without the proper strengthening, athletes may not be able to return to their sport with the same level of play, and they may struggle with confidence issues or fear of re-injury when they return.

Post-surgical ACL rehab can help decrease these statistics. If you are
