PHASE 2 ACL REHAB 🔑

This phase sets the tone for everything that comes next. We’re creating control, strength, and confidence.

In this phase, we’re working on:
→ Quad activation that actually carries over
→ Hip strength (because your knee doesn’t work alone)
→ Early load tolerance + weight acceptance
→ Re-introducing controlled movement patterns

👀 Here’s a glimpse of what that can look like in our clinic:
• ASLR + progressions
• Glute bridge variations (abduction/adduction)
• Tibial IR/ER control (“gas pedal”)
• Controlled weight shifts + gait prep
• Calf strengthening
• Early dynamic loading (hello bum drops)

Your walk. Your yoga. Your light weights. Are they actually building bone? 🦴

Here’s the hard truth: bone responds to load and intensity — not just movement. And in midlife, the stakes get higher.

On April 22, we are sitting down with Melanie Scrase — Athletic Therapist, performance specialist, and co-founder of The S.P.O.R.T. Specialists & bone health expert for a live conversation that could genuinely change how you think about your health in midlife.

We’re covering everything from bone density scans to heavy resistance training, busting myths, and giving you a real roadmap to take action.

Early Post-Op ACL rehab isn’t just “rest and wait” it’s targeted, intentional work 👇

Here’s a glimpse of what we focus on early post-op:
• scar + skin mobility work
• ankle pumps for circulation
• quad activation (with some feedback)
• hip strengthening (clams + reverse clams)
• controlled single leg biking
• soft tissue work around the knee to do at home (soft tissue work)

⚠️ Every rehab journey is different, always follow your surgeon guidelines and get cleared before starting.

One of the most undertrained muscle groups đź‘€

This group (adductor longus, brevis, magnus, pectineus & gracilis ) runs along the inside of the leg and plays a key role in the frontal plane — bringing the leg in, controlling lateral movement, and stabilizing the pelvis.

Add these exercises to your next training to not only strengthen the adductors, but increase knee stability, prevent injury & increase power!

✨Part 6/6 — The grand finale, A Side Plank (with or without leg lift)

This exercise challenges lateral core strength, hip abductors, and pelvic stability.

Can you do the same thing on both sides?

To wrap up this series, we hope you discovered a few weaker areas to work on. Addressing asymmetries can go a long way in helping reduce injury risk!

✨ Part 5/6 — Single Arm Shoulder Tap

Assessing:
• Core anti-rotation strength
• Shoulder stability
• Symmetrical load through the arms
• Pelvic control

The goal is to resist movement, not create it. If your hips are rocking or one shoulder feels less stable, that’s valuable information for your training!

A great way to check glute function asymmetry 🍑

If one side cramps, shakes, or feels weaker… that’s useful information.

Watch the reel to see what we’re looking for when we ask our clients to perform this movement!

Part 3/6 A Single-arm Farmer’s Carry 🛍️

This exercise will quickly show you:
→ Do you lean?
→ Does one hip hike?
→ Do your ribs flare?
→ Does one side feel significantly less stable?

Bilateral lifts can hide compensation. Unilateral carries expose it. Train what it reveals!

Part 2/6 for exercises exposing our asymmetries.

A single-leg deadlift! 💪🏼

If one side feels easier, more stable, or stronger… that information matters.

Symmetry isn’t perfection — but big differences can increase injury risk. When we watch this movement we’re looking for:
✔️ Pelvic control (no hip drop/rotation)
✔️ Knee alignment
✔️ Balance symmetry side to side
✔️ Hamstring + glute loading
✔️ Trunk control

02/26/2026

One of the simplest ways to check lower leg asymmetry 👇🏻

If one side burns faster, lifts lower, or feels unstable - that’s useful information.

Especially important for:
-Runners
-Achilles rehab
-Post-ankle injury
-Return to sport testing
