ACL Rehab
If you have sustained an ACL injury and are planning your post-operative rehabilitation, you need to ensure that you seek out a physical therapist who not only will return your full range-of-motion and strength but will also uncover and correct any movement technique abnormalities that may have contributed to your ACL injury.
What you should know about ACL rehab
A staggering 250,000 ACL injuries happen every year in the United States. Athletes often suffer from knee injuries as a result of jumping and pivoting incorrectly while playing sports. Female athletes, in particular, have a 10 times greater risk of suffering an ACL injury than males. Even after surgery, athletes are highly susceptible for a second ACL injury and to develop osteoarthritis later in life.
The fact is that many of these ACL injuries are preventable with help from a sport’s physical therapist. Simple techniques can help train athletes of all ages to jump, land, and perform physical activity with less force traveling through the ACL. Often, these training tips result in overall improved performance because athletes are using their bodies more efficiently.
If you have sustained an ACL injury and are planning your post-operative rehabilitation, you need to ensure that you seek out a physical therapist who not only will return your full range-of-motion and strength but will also uncover and correct any movement technique abnormalities that may have contributed to your ACL injury. Our goal at Ivy Rehab is not only to get you back on the field, but to train you to run, jump, land, and cut in a manner that protects your knees and minimizes the risk of a second ACL injury. Second ACL injuries happen in as much as 30% of young athletes who return to sport after undergoing ACL surgery.
