PORTLAND ACL REHABILITATION • ONLINE ACL SUPPORT
ACL REHAB BUILT FOR SPORT.
Objective testing. Athletic strength development. Movement coaching.
ACL rehabilitation should restore the athlete, not just the knee. My approach combines objective testing with the development of the physical qualities required for sport, alongside movement coaching that progresses toward greater speed, intensity and complexity.
STARTING YOUR ACL REHAB IN PORTLAND?
Work with me from the post-operative phase onward, progressing from restoring knee function and strength toward athletic movement and return to sport.
ALREADY IN REHAB BUT WANT MORE DIRECTION?
If you’re further along but unsure what’s missing, specialist assessment can identify your priorities and provide a clearer plan for what comes next — in Portland or online.
MEASURE
Objective testing of strength, jumping, movement and athletic qualities.
MOVE
Movement coaching that progresses toward greater speed, intensity and complexity.
PERFORM
Build the physical qualities and movement capacity required for your sport.
OUR MOVEMENT PHILOSOPHY
MOVEMENT IS PART OF THE INJURY.
IT HAS TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
Many ACL injuries happen without direct contact during demanding movement actions such as decelerating, landing, cutting or rapidly changing direction. Strength is fundamental to recovery, but rehabilitation also needs to progressively rebuild the athlete’s ability to perform these actions.
That process does not need to wait until the final stages of rehab. From early in recovery, appropriate movement positions, strategies and physical qualities can be coached and developed. As the knee becomes stronger and more capable, those foundations progress toward acceleration, braking, landing, direction change, reactive movement and the speed and intensity of sport.
IF WE WANT ATHLETES TO RETURN TO MOVEMENT, WE HAVE TO TRAIN MOVEMENT.
YOUR RESULTS BECOME YOUR ROADMAP.
You won’t just receive a pass or fail. Your assessment is interpreted in the context of your recovery, your sport and your goals so you understand where you are, what’s still missing and what should happen next.
Feedback may include written findings, video analysis, individualized recommendations and clear priorities for the next stage of rehabilitation. When ongoing support is appropriate, programming can be built around those findings and progressed with reassessment.
