We help injured athletes recover from ACL tears to get back to doing what they love with confidence.

Pain and discomfort are part of ACL rehab.
 It’s not something to fear, and it isn’t something to suppress or avoid.

But pain is also information.
 It reflects tolerance, capacity, fatigue, and readiness. It should shape how we load, progress, and sequence rehab.

There’s a meaningful difference between:
 “this is uncomfortable but tolerable for your knee right now” and “pain is normal, just push through it.”

Good rehab doesn’t ignore pain. It listens to it, interprets it, and adjusts the plan around it.
 Ask better questions.
Expect better reasoning.
Your rehab should adapt to your knee, not force your knee to adapt to the program.

Rehab does not have to be complicated to be effective.

Master the basics and progress them well.

Trust the process.

There’s no magical month where deceleration and change of direction suddenly become “safe.”
What matters is how the task is constrained.

Speed
Direction
Intent
Volume

You don’t earn decel and COD by waiting.

You earn it by matching the demand to what your body and your knee are actually prepared for.

Own the positions.
Move slowly first.
Build from there.

We might sound like a broken record, but…baseline is not the finish line.

If rehab only restores what existed pre injury, we miss the chance to actually reduce risk of reinjury.

The goal is building athletes who are stronger, more adaptable, and better prepared for the demands of sport than they were before they got hurt.

Early post op is still training.

Foundations first. Using real-time force plate feedback to reinforce equal loading, build trust in the limb, and set the foundation for what comes next ⚽️

Strong later starts with sound fundamentals.

Before the comments turn into “what about the mental side”

yes, psychological readiness matters.
But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Progressive loading, exposure, and objective progress give the nervous system real evidence.

When that evidence is there, mental readiness is much easier to access.

PSA: Youth sports is failing where development is skipped

It is failing because we confuse more with better.

More practices.
More skill clinics.
Less recovery.
Less preparation.

Burnout and frequent or recurrent injuries are not bad luck. They are predictable outcomes of piling volume onto athletes who are under prepared for it.

If your athlete is always sore, dealing with an injury, fatigued, or stuck at the same level, it is not a skills problem.

It is not a “needs more reps” problem.

And it is not a sport specific training problem.
It is a capacity problem. A mismatch between training volume, recovery, and the demands you are asking them to meet.

At Made 2 Move and ESP, alongside , we build athletes first so performance can actually last.

Train smart.
Recover well.
Play the long game.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Fuel your comeback series💥

What you eat matters when you are healing, and when you pair solid nutrition with a proper rehab program, you set the stage for a stronger return.

Adequate carbs and protein, smart nutrient timing, vitamin C, antioxidants, and zinc all play a key role in rebuilding and repairing.

Give your body what it needs to recover well. And when in doubt, and have your back.

We are teaming up to bring you real, actionable nutrition info to help you build stronger, more resilient athletes. 🥗💪

Strength is built at the edge.

In ACL rehab and in all training, your body adapts when you push close to your limit. The slow, challenging reps create the change. 💪

That is the foundation of progressive overload.

You give your body slightly more stress than it is used to, like a bit more weight, another rep, or a harder variation, and it responds by getting stronger and more adaptable.

If you stop the moment it gets uncomfortable, you stop before the reps that actually create change.

Challenge drives adaptation. Effort builds strength.

Comfort does not.

Too many athletes finish ACL rehab without ever being objectively tested.

❌No quad strength data.
❌ No limb symmetry scores.
❌ No psychological readiness measures.

That’s not readiness. That’s guessing.

But here’s the nuance:
Numbers don’t tell the whole story.

They’re one piece of the puzzle alongside movement quality, load tolerance, and how your knee feels day to day.

Objective testing gives you clarity and context.
It helps guide decisions, not dictate them.

ACL rehab isn’t black and white. It’s a spectrum.
We use the data to build confidence and trust your body’s feedback.

At Made 2 Move, we test every athlete, every phase.
Because guessing isn’t rehab. It’s risk.

Stop chasing a made-up timeline.

Your knee doesn’t care what month it is. 🕒

ACL recovery isn’t about hitting a date. It’s about building capacity, confidence, and control. 💪

Real progress happens when you stop forcing your body to meet a schedule and start meeting it where it’s at.

Trust the process. Keep loading.

You’re not behind. You’re building. 🔁
