ACL Rehabilitation

Recovering from an ACL injury is truly a journey. We’ve created a fully equipped facility designed to help you regain your confidence and return to the things you love.

Unfortunately, we believe that most traditional physical therapy clinics fall short in supporting those recovering from ACL injuries. It’s estimated that fewer than 15% of athletes who return to sports have passed basic strength and hop tests1. Additionally, nearly 1 in 4 athletes experience a secondary ACL injury in the early phases of returning to sport2.

Given the current evidence, we feel that many individuals recovering from ACL injuries do not receive the quality of care they deserve. Research indicates that re-injury risk can be reduced by 84% by regaining adequate strength and allowing at least 9 months before returning to sports3, yet secondary injuries remain alarmingly high. Experience is crucial for your recovery. We’re here to help you go from patient to athlete.
