Phase 2 is where the real work begins. 😤

Watching the comeback is better than the setback. ⚽️✨

We are officially moving into Phase 2 of ACL rehab with our resident soccer star!

Today’s focus: Step-Back Lunges + BFR (Blood Flow Restriction). Why BFR? It’s a game-changer for early-stage rehab. It allows us to:

✅ Increase muscle size/strength with lighter loads.
✅ Minimize joint stress.
✅ Speed up the hypertrophy process.

She’s putting in the work to get back on the pitch stronger than ever. Let’s go! 🚀

Effective and efficient rehab is criterion-based, not time-based.

Performing these exercises should not cause pain.  If you experience pain while exercising, decrease the speed of your movement.  If the pain persists - STOP.  Mild soreness after exercising may be experienced after beginning a new exercise.

2 ACL surgeries. 1 Cyclops lesion. 1 Meniscus repair. 1 Unstoppable athlete. 🤯⚽️

We’re hitting the “Blue Level” on the Shuttle Systems Balance Pro today. Why? Because elite soccer rehab isn’t played on flat, stable ground.

By challenging her dynamic stability and deceleration, we’re building the confidence she needs to cut, sprint, and tackle at 100% again. The comeback is always stronger than the setback! 🔥

As always, train both legs!

2 ACL surgeries. A cyclops lesion. Meniscus repair.

Most would have walked away from the pitch, but this college soccer player is proving what “built different” actually looks like. She is officially in late Phase 4 of recovery, and her Nordic hamstring curl form is absolute fire. 🔥

The comeback is always stronger than the setback. ⚽️💪

Phase 2 is where the real work begins. 😤🦵

We’re advancing this high school football player’s MPFL Reconstruction rehab with a focus on targeted, safe strengthening. Today’s spotlight: Kickbacks on the Shuttle Systems MVP.

To take things to the next level, we’ve integrated Blood Flow Restriction (BFR). This allows us to:

1️⃣ Build Muscle: Achieve hypertrophy gains using lighter loads, which is crucial in the early phases of graft healing.
2️⃣ Accelerate Repair: Stimulate a systemic healing response to get back on the field faster.
3️⃣ Protect the Graft: Minimize joint stress while maximizing muscular output.

The goal? A stronger, more stable knee ready for Friday night lights. 🏈✨

As always — train both legs!

🔥 Phase 3 Ankle Rehab: Level Up! 🔥

Meet the definition of comeback. This high school soccer star is in the final push of her recovery after a Brostrom reconstruction for chronic ankle instability.

She’s now progressing to advanced dynamic stability drills using the Shuttle Systems Balance Pro! We are using lateral jumps on the second hardest (blue) setting to challenge the joint and build powerful, soccer-specific stability.

This isn’t just rehab—it’s prehab for peak performance. We’re getting her ankle fully robust and ready for the rigorous demands of elite soccer, ensuring a safe and successful return to the pitch.

As always, train both legs!

16 Weeks Post-Op and training like an elite! 🤯⚽️

This is how we take an ACL rehab BEYOND standard physical therapy.

Meet our high school soccer star crushing dynamic stability training. Our secret weapon? Senaptec Strobe Eyewear! 🕶️

🧠 Why the Strobe Glasses?

By disrupting her visual feedback, we force her nervous system to hyperfocus on proprioception (her body’s spatial awareness), the first sense compromised after an ACL injury.

We aren’t just getting her back to sport—we’re making her more stable, faster, and more resilient than before. Prevention through performance!
