If you've ever had an injury, you know the feelings of fear, isolation, frustration, anxiety, and so much more that come and go throughout the recovery process.

Everyone talks about the physical aspects of recovery from injury and surgery, but we can't forget about the psychological factors. When left unaddressed, these factors can limit progress in strength and function, delay return to sport/activity, and even increase the risk of re-injury.

These are a few of our favorite tips for our patients:

🎉Celebrate the big (and little) wins! Take pictures and videos throughout the process so you can look back and see all you've accomplished.

✍️Write it out. Try starting a journal to keep track of your progress and organize your thoughts and feelings.

👯‍♀️Choose someone to be your "go to". Social support is really important throughout this process and often you are removed from your typical support system

The body achieves what the mind believes...

Whether you’ve had a knee injury or you know someone who’s undergone knee surgery, we all know what happens...the quadriceps muscle shrinks away in what feels like minutes. And often stays that way for a long time.

Ever wondered why it takes so long for the quadriceps muscle to regain strength and size after a knee injury like an ACL tear?

There’s a difference between muscle weakness and muscle inhibition...

💪🏽 If someone with a healthy neuromuscular system (no injury) started an exercise program, they would see good results in as little as 6 to 8 weeks. A weak muscle gets strong quickly.

🦵🏼As someone with an ACL injury completes rigorous rehabilitation, the quadriceps muscle does not respond in terms of strength or volume. An inhibited muscle cannot fully activate, so exercise alone is not enough.
