Made 2 Move ACL Performance Lab

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. 🔁

Straight leg raises are one of the most common early exercises prescribed after ACL surgery… but that doesn’t mean they’re always effective.

Here’s the problem 👇

➡️ Most athletes don’t actually use their quad during the movement.

➡️ They compensate by squeezing their glutes and overusing their hip flexors, which means the quad isn’t doing what we need it to do.

➡️ This gives a false sense of “activation” without truly rebuilding quad control.

And if we don’t restore true quad activation early on, everything else down the line -like walking, jogging, jumping, cutting gets harder.

👉 That said, when the right provider uses this exercise for the right reasons, and makes sure you’re doing it correctly, it can still have a place. The key is intentional use, not defaulting to it because “everyone does it.”

Our goal early in ACL rehab isn’t just to do exercises… it’s to retrain the quad and the joints above and below to actually work normally again.

ACL tears are devastating injuries and rehab is complex. There’s a reason re-tear rate is so high.

The steps you take BEFORE and AFTER ACL surgery (IF you get surgery) will make the difference between a successful recovery and frustrating re-injury.

This is why most people don’t get back to 100% after an ACL tear:

They’re told their extension is “good enough”
They’re seen by non-ACL specialized providers
They’re given low level exercises and stretches
They aren’t given robust objective testing
They’re told their quad is “strong enough”
They’re told to return to sport way too early

They deserve better.

No matter what stage you’re in:

Considering surgery
Early post op
Returning to sport
Struggling years after surgery

Our ACL rehab specialists will help you return to doing the things you love safely & confidently after an ACL tear.

Meet Clementine! Clementine is a driven youth athlete who’s passionate about soccer, track, and pushing her limits.

When she came to us, she was feeling frustrated and worried—she thought her knee pain was something she’d have to live with forever.

She was struggling with frequent patellar dislocations and couldn’t even do stairs without pain.

Clementine had already tried modifying her activity AND traditional physical therapy and activity modification, but the pain just wouldn’t go away.

Fast forward a few months later, and Clementine is...

✅ Running pain-free
✅ Practicing high jump again
✅ Just returned from hiking Kilimanjaro
✅ Stronger and more confident than ever

Next up for Clementine? Track season! 🏃‍♀️✨

Clementine, your dedication and persistence through rehab and your commitment to your goals are truly inspiring. We’re so proud of how far you’ve come, and we can’t wait to see you continue crushing it!

Claire is an ACL REHAB ROCKSTAR ⭐️

She came to us about 6 months after her ACL surgery

She was still missing range of motion and having pain with certain movements and felt like her current clinic just wasn’t getting her where she wanted to be.

We got right to work on her strength, range of motion and desensitizing those painful movements before getting her back to pain free running, skiing and pickle ball!

She trusted the process, she got to work and she’s reaping the rewards.

We are so proud!

I love helping female athletes build strength in the gym to help reduce their risk of injury and improve performance on the field. ⚽️🏀🏐🥎
Women deserve to be taught how to lift weights in a safe and supportive environment. For most of us, competitive sport ends at some point but strength training can be a lifelong activity that promotes health and confidence forever. It is incredible to see the girls work hard and see progress every summer.
