13 weeks post ACL reconstruction- this is what you hope your athlete looks like. Thank you to him for all the hard work he put in!
Remember Everyone has their own specific rehab journey given tissues injured and individual physical features.
If your athlete is “limping” you need to regress and revisit exercises/activities (that should have be done) to prep them to run..
(ie. Single leg squats? Medial step downs? Marching? Sled pushes? Pogos? Wall supported stationary running? Etc.)
Continuing to run with compromised mechanics is likely going to lead to other injuries- patellar tendonitis, IT band syndrome, achilles tendonitis- just to name a few.
