This year was about building systems that actually hold up.

• 62+ ACL athletes supported
• 2,568 total physical therapy visits
• Expanded to two locations: Livonia & Bloomfield
• Spoke at 2 conferences
• 19+ ACL Institute live lectures
• 8+ free educational workshops
• Team growth to 3 clinicians

From in-person care to education, this year reinforced one thing:
when you invest in people, process, and standards — everything compounds.

Grateful for the athletes who trusted us, the clinicians who helped raise the bar, and the community that continues to grow.

Looking forward to what 2026 has in store.

Programming running in mid → late-stage ACL rehab isn’t about “just getting them running.”

At slower running speeds, we actually see:
• Greater center of mass oscillation (more up-and-down movement)
• ~40° of knee flexion from initial contact → mid-stance
• A need for yielding + slow stretch-shortening cycle capacity, not just stiffness

Run your athlete in-clinic and watch from the side:
• Surgical stance leg → head stays high
• Non-op stance leg → head drops
• Result: an undulating pattern that exposes asymmetrical knee strategy

Then zoom out to volume:
~160 steps/min
~1,480 ground contacts per mile

That’s a ton of loading — which means plyos and jumps must respect total contact volume, not just intensity.

Programming isn’t random.
It’s driven by speed, knee demand, asymmetry, and contact count — all before you even think about max effort.

It all depends on the goal.

Bilateral → split → RFESS → single-leg step down
None are “right” or “wrong.” They just load the system differently.

As you move left ➡️ right:
• References decrease (2 feet → 1 foot)
• Degrees of freedom increase
• Tri-planar demand goes up
• Loading potential goes down

Bilateral squat = highest load, lowest complexity
Split squat = still 2 feet, slightly more demand
RFESS = 1 primary reference, higher demand
Single-leg step down = highest complexity, lowest load tolerance

So in mid-stage rehab, the question isn’t “what’s best?”
It’s what are you trying to load right now?

Pick the exercise that matches the goal — not the one that just looks harder.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗖𝗟…
but still not confident how you should be training?

This is the gap most athletes fall into after rehab:
𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗡𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻.

That’s why we start with a FREE consultation call.

𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝘄𝗲’𝗹𝗹:
• Talk through your ACL history + current training
• Identify what’s actually holding you back
• Map out your next steps (strength, power, speed)
• Decide what level of support actually fits you

It’s a real strategy session to give you clarity.

Soccer ACL recovery is different — and families feel it.

We often hear:
“She’s cleared, but she doesn’t move the same.”
“I’m worried about another tear.”
“Her coach wants her back, but I’m not sure she’s ready.”

Those concerns are valid.

Soccer demands cutting, sprinting, and decision-making under fatigue — and most ACL rehab ends before those demands are trained.

At Primal Recovery PT & Performance, we offer a soccer-specific ACL return-to-play program that integrates rehab, strength & power training, and progressive on-field soccer work in collaboration with Next Level Training.

Before committing to anything, every athlete begins with a $99 Soccer ACL Performance Evaluation (normally $247).

This session is designed to:
• assess readiness
• educate families on the ACL → return-to-soccer process
• answer questions about safety and timelines
• provide a clear, individualized roadmap

If you’re navigating ACL recovery for a soccer player, start with clarity — not guessing.

CLEARED ≠ READY

Being “cleared” after ACL surgery usually means an athlete is allowed to progress — not that they’re fully prepared for sprinting, cutting, and sport-speed demands.

Most problems happen when return-to-sport decisions are based on time instead of criteria.

Our ACL Performance Evaluation is designed to:
• Understand your athlete’s goals
• Objectively assess strength and readiness
• Educate you on the ACL rehab journey
• Answer questions around safety, timelines, and next steps
