ACL recovery? Most athletes rush this part… and it costs them‼️⚠️

If you’re coming back from an ACL injury, strength isn’t the only goal… how you build it matters.
That’s where Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training comes in 👇

Instead of loading your knee too early, BFR allows you to:
✔️ Build strength with lighter weights
✔️ Reduce stress on your joint + graft
✔️ Progress safely in early rehab
It mimics the effects of heavy training, without putting your recovery at risk.

The result?
→ Better strength gains
→ Less pain during training
→ A smoother, more confident return to sport
This is the step most people skip… and the difference we focus on.

At Elite, we don’t just rehab injuries,
we build athletes back stronger than before.
Save this if you’re in rehab (or will be) and want to do it the right way 💪

Bella’s journey 👏🏼

After tearing her ACL playing high school soccer, Bella has been putting in the work at Elite for the past 6 months and her progress has been incredible!

From day one, she’s shown resilience, consistency, and a positive mindset. Working one-on-one with Chris and being surrounded by other driven athletes has helped her stay motivated every step of the way.
This is what the process looks like.

We’re so proud of you, Bella!! 💪🏼

Before we ever introduce cutting or more complex change of direction work, we focus on one thing first deceleration⬇️

Being able to slow down and stop efficiently, safely, and with balanced contribution from both legs is the foundation for everything that comes next.
Here’s an example of a deceleration progression we may use with athletes:
1 Deceleration breakdown
2 Forward → backward sequenced breakdown
3 Resisted forward → backward breakdown
4 Reactive forward → backward change of direction

Each step builds on the last — progressing from control and positioning, to strength under resistance, to more reactive, game-like movement.
These are just a few examples of how we structure progressions. Everything is tailored to the athlete, their sport, and how they’re moving.

Want to hit farther, rotate better, and stay injury-free? ⛳️⬇️

This is how we’re building real rotational power + control with Tyler Koch (SJV Senior Golfer) not just swinging harder, but moving better.

Most golfers skip this part… and it shows in their swing.
We focus on:
✔️ Thoracic rotation (where real swing power comes from)
✔️ Hip stability + control
✔️ Strength through rotation (not just mobility)
✔️ Injury prevention so you can actually stay on the course
Save this and add it into your routine 👇

    1    Staggered stance resisted thoracic rotation
    2    Half kneeling row + press w/ thoracic rotation
    3    Medicine ball hip airplane
    4    Pigeon row
    5    Curtsy step down
    6    Val slide upper extremity walks
    7    Couch stretch

If you’re a golfer and not training like this… you’re leaving distance on the table.
DM us “GOLF” to start training like an athlete.

Mid-stage ACL rehab snapshot⬇️

At this stage, the focus shifts toward building on a strong foundation of single-leg strength and stability while beginning to reintroduce power, impact, and running preparation.

You’ll see progressions like:
• Single-leg tempo squats for control + strength
• Trampoline jogs to reintroduce impact
• Ball-assisted Nordic hamstring curls
• Hack squats to build overall lower body capacity
• Rotational box jumps to challenge power + coordination
• Slider reverse lunges with a med ball chest pass for dynamic stability

This is Nikki’s rehab in action, bridging the gap between basic strength work and return-to-sport performance.
Recovery doesn’t stop when it “feels better.” It progresses with purpose.

Save this for later or reach out if you’re navigating an ACL recovery.

If you’re in your return to sport phase… this is how you build your bounce back⬇️

• Lateral push drop ➡️ pushback
• Double contact 45° bound + med ball
• Resisted squat jump cluster
• Continuous forward hurdle hops

Most athletes rush this phase…
and skip the details that actually make them explosive again.

Save this and build it the right way‼️

STOP SCROLLING this is your sign‼️🚨

If you’re feeling pain that only shows up when intensity increases, or noticing one side working harder than the other… don’t ignore it.

These are early signs your body is compensating, and that’s where bigger injuries start.

The goal isn’t just to push through. It’s to move BETTER, so you can perform at your highest level.

From ACL rehab to record-breaking performance👏

Spring Lake native Haven Dora trusted Elite Sports PT during her recovery and returned to compete at Princeton, becoming the Ivy League career assist leader and surpassing 200 career points.

Her success is a reflection of what performance-based rehab is meant to do, not just get you back, but prepare you to compete at the highest level.

Not all physical therapy is the same.

At Elite, our approach goes beyond recovery, it’s built around performance, precision, and getting athletes back to their sport at a higher level than before.

Every program is individualized to your injury, your goals, and the specific demands of your sport, so you’re not just cleared to return, you’re prepared to perform.

Whether you’re coming back from injury or looking to stay ahead of one, this is where athletes train with purpose.

Save this for later & send it to a teammate who needs it.

Save this for your recovery⚠️‼️

ACL rehab isn’t just about getting back to movement, it’s about how well your body can handle load, control, and progression over time.

Rushing the process, skipping strength development, or lacking control through movement are some of the biggest reasons athletes stall or deal with setbacks.

If you’re currently in rehab or returning to sport, make sure your training is setting you up long-term, not just getting you through the moment.

Save this to keep your recovery on track.

SAVE THIS FOR LATER‼️

ACL rehab is more than just healing the ligament, it’s about restoring full knee stability, strength, and movement mechanics for a safe return to sport.

After an ACL injury or ACL surgery, many athletes still have deficits in quadriceps strength, single-leg stability, and neuromuscular control… all of which increase the risk of reinjury.

A proper ACL rehabilitation program should focus on strength training, movement quality, force absorption, and sport-specific progression, especially for cutting, pivoting, and deceleration.

This is what builds confidence and prepares the body for high-level performance again.

Late-Stage Overhead Athlete Rehab 💪🏼

This is where rehab meets performance.

At this stage, the focus shifts to building rotational strength, shoulder stability, and total-body control—preparing athletes for the demands of overhead sport and return to play.

These movements are examples of how we progress athletes in the final phase:
• TRX Serratus Saws
• KB Holds with ¼ Turns
• Incline Cuban Press
• Bamboo Bar Holds
• Bear Crawl Alternating Taps

🔑 Major key: Late-stage rehab isn’t just about being pain-free—it’s about being prepared.
Your program should challenge stability, control, and performance in ways that translate directly back to sport.
At Elite, we bridge the gap between rehab and return to play so athletes come back stronger, more stable, and more confident.
