ACL Rehab Exercise Guide | Phase 2, Block 1| Strength & Control [ Axe Physio ]

ACL Rehab Exercise Guide | Phase 2, Block 1. This video takes place once the initial recovery from surgery has occurred. Generally this means off the crutches and out of the brace and cleared for proper weight bearing strengthening e.g. squats. The goal of this phase is to continue to improve all over body strength/size and begin developing movement skills i.e. single leg squat, hinging, hip/pelvis control.

All too often people get confused about the best exercises to rehab their ACL. This is NOT a good way to think about it. We need to talk in terms of Movement patterns and exercise "streams" where different exercises would then fit into these streams/categories. This allows us to make sure we have got through all the big building blocks (movement patterns) we need of the rehab we need.

Examples of streams:
Squat Patterns
Hinge Patterns
Hip Control (side to side, Front to back)
Split Leg Patterns
Balance Patterns
Ankle Patterns
Change of direction
Jump Pattern
Land Patterns
etc...

Its much easier to look at all of the different patterns and put exercises into these categories and tick them off as we go, then to blindly pick 30 - 40 exercises out of the blue and hope that they do cover everything you need

This video series will go through all the varying movement streams and patterns that should be covered throughout an ACL rehab. The aim is to generally explain when they should occur and examples of exercises that fit within these streams. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, this is NOT specific advice for anyone's personal ACL rehab but educating that there are certain criteria that need to be covered within ACL rehab where on a global scale I really dont think there is.

Too often people return to sport.
1. Reduced quad size
2. Having not done any power/plyometric exercises
3. Constantly Swollen knee
4. Large strength asymmetries,
5. Under 9 Months of rehab

We need to make sure that after a long process of time, money and pain you get yourself back to sport in a way which you will be safe and happy.
