Patient Spotlight: 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝗿𝗻𝘀𝘁

When Emily started her ACL rehab journey, she had the same questions most athletes do:

• Will I feel like myself again?
• Will I be able to compete at the same level?
• Can I trust my knee?

Rehab isn’t just about getting stronger.
It’s about rebuilding confidence.
Rebuilding trust.
Rebuilding identity as an athlete.

Emily committed to the process — the structure, the testing, the hard days, the small wins.
And that’s what makes the difference.

We’re proud of the work she’s put in and the standard she’s set.
Strong. Prepared. Confident.
That’s the goal every time.

When your athlete tears their ACL, the biggest fear isn’t surgery…
It’s:
• Will they be the same?
• Will they trust their knee again?
• Will this set them back long term?

At Primal Recovery, we don’t leave recovery to chance.

Our ACL Membership Program provides:

✔ A structured 5-phase rehab plan
✔ Weekly 1:1 check-ins with a physical therapist
✔ Supervised rehab up to 5x per week
✔ Performance testing to guide return-to-sport decisions
✔ Return-to-run and on-field progression
✔ Ongoing support beyond the clinic

Last year, athletes in our membership returned to sport an average of 2.5 months earlier than traditional rehab models.

Most importantly — they returned confident.

If your athlete deserves a clear plan and a team fully invested in their comeback, we’re here.

Injuries have a way of shrinking your world.

You start thinking about everything you can’t do — run, cut, lift, play.

But progress doesn’t come from staring at limitations.
It comes from stacking small wins.

Focus on what’s controllable.
Train what’s still available.
Build the pieces you can improve.

Your comeback isn’t paused…
it’s just being built differently right now.

But the research tells a different story.

A horizontal hop is driven mostly by the hip and ankle during takeoff — yet the knee absorbs the majority of the load when you land. So an athlete can hit a “good” distance while still showing poor knee strategy.

Vertical jumps are different.
They distribute work more evenly across the hip, knee, and ankle in both takeoff and landing, giving us a clearer picture of true lower-extremity function.

That’s why we don’t just measure performance — we analyze landing quality and include vertical jump testing to actually assess readiness.

Most people want the moment.

The sprint.
The cut.
The clearance.

But nobody sees this part —
the reps when it’s uncomfortable, slow, and uncertain.

Comebacks aren’t decided on game day.
They’re built in quiet sessions like this.

You don’t get your sport back because time passed.
You get it back because you prepared for it.

Earned. Never Given.

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

You pull your hamstring in a game.
You rest a week.
You get back out there…
and it happens again.

Or maybe you tried PT —
and it feels like you’re just 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨 that 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 👇

At top-end sprint speeds, your hamstrings can experience 𝟲–𝟭𝟬× 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱.

If your rehab never prepares you for that —
it’s not rehab.
It’s just rest with exercises.

At Primal Recovery, we treat hamstring injuries differently.

𝗪𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻:
• Progressive high-speed loading
• Strength at long muscle lengths
• Sprint mechanics and exposure
• Return-to-sprint preparation — not just pain relief

Because hamstrings don’t fail in the weight room.
They fail at speed.
