What Makes ACL Rehab at Acumen Different?
At Acumen, we believe that ACL recovery is not just about healing an injury; it’s about building a foundation for a stronger, healthier future. Our ACL Rehab Program is meticulously designed to provide exceptional care, while equipping clients with the skills and knowledge they need to reduce future injuries and successfully return to their chosen sport. Here’s what makes our program stand out from the rest.
Personalized treatment plans: We understand that every patient’s journey is unique. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we tailor each plan to the individual’s specific needs and goals. Whether you’re an athlete striving to return to peak performance or someone looking to simply return to a better quality of life, our treatment plans are crafted with your best interests in mind, ensuring the best possible results.
Another key differentiator is the expertise of our experienced surgeons and their availability. Our surgical team is highly skilled in ACL reconstruction, and they work closely with patients to ensure optimal care. One of the unique aspects of our program is that our surgeons are often on-site, providing additional insights or simply checking in on your recovery. This hands-on involvement gives patients an extra layer of care and attention, offering reassurance that they’re on the right track at all stages of recovery.
When it comes to rehabilitation, we take a comprehensive, criteria-based approach. Rather than following a time-based recovery model, we focus on helping patients reach specific benchmarks before advancing to the next stage. This method ensures that progress is measured safely and effectively. Our rehabilitation focuses on key elements like range of motion, motor control, strength, and the ability to change direction, each progressing in a step-by-step manner.
We incorporate force plate technology into our program to assess and measure force production, jump mechanics, and weight distribution, giving us valuable insights into your recovery progress. However, while technology plays a role, we place a heavy emphasis on the biomechanics of movement. We believe it’s essential to assess how movements are being executed. The quality and efficiency of the movement patterns are crucial before progressing in rehabilitation. We make sure the movement “looks” correct and feels natural before moving forward in your recovery process. This careful attention to biomechanics ensures that you return to your sport both safely and with optimal performance.
At Acumen, we also specialize in the Return to Sport stage of ACL rehabilitation. This critical phase focuses on preparing athletes to safely and effectively transition back to their sport. Our team includes experienced Strength and Conditioning specialists, with over a decade of experience in guiding individuals through the return to sport journey following an injury. These experts understand the physical and mental demands of returning to high-level competition and are dedicated to making sure you’re not just physically ready, but mentally confident as well.
