——
I’m a sports physical therapist specializing in ACL rehab. DM me to see how I can help you with your ACL recovery, no matter what stage you are in!
How important are hips for athletes?! How important is the foundation of your house?! 🏠.
——
This is an absolute killer full body exercise. It incorporates lateral hip stability, core stability, shoulder stability and hip flexor performance. Try this at your own risk 🔥 and make some gains 💪🏻 💯!!!
——
Be sure to keep your body in a straight line and try and control the band, don’t let it control you!
——
Are you an injured athlete? Are you being challenged enough during your rehab? Athletes require much greater demands in rehab that will eventually be able to match the demands of your sport.
——
If you aren’t getting the results you want, DM me so we can talk about how to get you back in the game!
Don't forget, Free athlete injury triage tomorrow between 7-8pm at RedLine Athletics - Tradesman. No appointment necessary. Come get that injury, ache or pain looked at and learn what you can do about it!!! Save a trip to the doctor, save time and save money!

Athlete Injury Triage
Looking to shave some time off your runs? Want to improve your endurance with running? Looking to decrease hip, knee or foot pain? HIP strengthening can help with all of these!!!
——
Check out this weighted crossover step up. Not only are we getting some quad and hamstring strength in but the crossover step really challenges glute strength and stability. And glutes are VERY important with running!!!
——
Not happy with where you are at as a runner right now? DM to see if I can help!

Athlete Injury Triage
Rehab beyond the first 3 months after an ACL injury is a MUST for anyone that wants to do more than just walk...
——
Have you been told “just go to the gym on your own now” or “go lift weights” or “just go practice with the team now”? If you have but you know you need more guidance than that in order to fully get back to your sport, then DM me “HELP” and I will reach out to help you.

Posted @withregram • @mickhughes.physio Research has shown that patients who continue rehab in a supervised and progressive way for at least 6 months, have better strength and function outcomes than those who don't.
How can we improve engagement with our ACLR patients to continue their rehabilitation beyond 6 months to at least 9 months post-op, where we know there is a less chance of 2nd knee reinjury?
For me, I've seen great engagement and extension of rehab time via with small group exercise sessions.
Clinicians, how about you?
Patients, what are some barriers for you in continuing supervised rehab?

Shared from a colleague of mine and I agree wholeheartedly. He also added in his comments that athlete confidence is a factor as well. It can be measured and we do with a standard research based analysis of athlete confidence with the ACL-RSI Questionnaire.

We need to bring the reinjury rate down.
We need to provide better education and treatment to our athletes!
It falls on us to provide the best care possible!

👉Whenever I get an athlete, I make sure I set expectations right away. I tell them I never clear anyone before 9 months and articles like this are exactly why. There is simply too much to work be done and clearing someone at 6 months is way too early. A patient must regain strength and confidence before being cleared and this takes time with a lot of hard work.
🔔Time is ONE factor of the return to sport process. Strength and psychological testing must be properly done as well.
🤔My motto is, let’s rehab the right way the first time. I’d be weary of any ortho, PT, ATC, etc, that tells anyone they’ll be cleared in 6 months. 𝐈𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐂𝐋 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲.
🤓Statistics tell us that 20-25% of athletes suffer a re-tear or a tear on the other knee. This is simply not ok and we as rehab professionals NEED to do better.
🤯Pictures/content below are from @mickhughes.physio
📖 Another study highlighting that non-professional athletes/patients should not rush back to sport earlier than 9 months post-op ACLR.
🏋️Building on the work by Grindem (2016) who showed a 51% increased risk of knee re-injury (not just ACL injury) for every month an athlete returned to sport earlier than 9 months; this paper by Beischer et al (2020) showed that those athletes who returned to "knee strenuous sport" earlier than 9 months (Tegner activity >6), had a 3-7x greater risk of a 2nd ACL injury compared to those who delayed return to sport til after 9 months.

Sports rehab is CRUCIAL!

I will fight for you, just shoot me a message!

Posted @withregram • @acl_academy Maybe we are the problem. Maybe we don’t educate the right way.
This injury is a big deal, this surgery is a big deal, this rehab process is a big deal!
Seek out a specialist!

Playing back video from one of my baseball ⚾️ players getting back in to throwing.
——
During the rehab process it’s important to see your athlete performing the sport specific requirements that their sport demands. You can learn a lot by watching them!
——
This is why true sports rehab cannot occur within the confines of a traditional healthcare clinic.
——
It is also our job as sports PTs to make sure the athlete can perform and withstand the demands of their sport before sending them back to their sport. That means a baseball ⚾️ player must throw before we tell them to go throw in practice!
——
The other HUGE benefit here is building the athletes CONFIDENCE and eliminating fear and hesitation of reinjury by giving them quality graded exposure to the movement that they were previously injured with.
——
Athletes deserve true sports rehab. If you know you need more specific sports rehab, we’ve got your back! DM to see how we can help!
My athletes are in the driver’s seat and I’m one of their coaches! Guiding athletes along in their rehab journey! Who’s your guide???

Posted @withregram • @physiosincrossfit Posted • @devan.strengthforall Are you in the driver’s seat of your care?
Someone posted this analogy a while back and it has stuck with me since.
You are the only person that knows your body best.
A clinician is a navigator. They are there to help you find the right direction and re-route when things pop up blocking the way.
Like google, they can also help you find the fastest route 😉
Invest in your body.

Because we could all use a smile. ❤️⚾️
Coaches, we can’t thank you enough for all you do! One way we would like to say thanks is by offering you a free session during January!
——
You can use this session to take care of an ache or pain that you have. Or use it to overcome an injury that is holding you back. Or, focus on recovery with massage, cupping, scraping etc. Or, are you needing to work on mobility, we have you covered there as well. Or maybe, you’re fully healthy but want to take your fitness to the next level, we can help you there too by optimizing your performance.
——
All you have to do is DM to schedule!
Maybe we’ve had to look a little harder to find blessings this year, but they are there to be found. In a broken world, there is still so much to be thankful for.
——
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁.

We have been reminded of the greatest gift 🎁 of all, Emmanuel, God with us!

Successful first game back after #aclrear for this high school SENIOR basketball 🏀 player!!!! I couldn’t be happier for this amazing hard worker!!!
In the late stages of rehab an athlete needs drills that prepare them for their sport. For an ankle sprain, ankle band exercises won’t cut it. Here is one of many exercises we are using to get @cruise.lafreeda ready for his return to basketball 🏀!!!
Do you have full knee extension❓ Is it equal between your two knees❓
.
Restoring full knee extension is absolutely crucial after any knee injury or surgery, especially an ACL. The longer it takes to get it back, the harder it is to get full motion restored. Also, your quad cannot perform at its best if your knee doesn’t move in to full extension. Quad strength and performance will be greatly limited by lack of terminal knee extension. So do this:
.
📌Sit with your legs straight in front of you
📌Squeeze your thighs trying to lift your heels off the ground BUT keeping the back of your knee pressed ⬇️ into the floor.
.
🔎Do your heels lift up? ✅
🔎Is it equal between right and left?✅
.
If the answer is no, then you need to work on your knee extension!
.
So what do you 👀 in the video? Good knee extension? Equal between right and left? Comment below!
