🦵 THE STEP AHEAD ACL REHABILITATION FRAMEWORK

ACL recovery isn’t just about time — it’s about hitting the right benchmarks before progressing.

Our criteria-based framework guides you through every phase of recovery, from pre-operative preparation through to structured return-to-contact for sport.

📋 Phase 1 — Pre-Op Prehab
🛡️ Phase 2 — Protection & Activation (0–4 wks)
💪 Phase 3 — Strength & Movement (4–12 wks)
👟 Phase 3B — Prep to Run (8–12 wks)
⚡ Phase 4 — Running & Power Development (3–6 mo)
🏆 Phase 5 — High-Level Running & Game Drills (6–12+ mo)
🤝 Phase 5B — Return to Contact (contact sports)

Every phase has objective criteria before progression. Strength testing. Hop tests. Limb symmetry indices. And yes — psychological readiness is a formal clearance criterion too.

Because getting back on the field isn’t just physical.
