🏃‍♀️💥 READY TO RUN AFTER ACL SURGERY? READ THIS. 💥🏃‍♀️

One of the biggest milestones after ACL reconstruction is getting cleared to start running — but it’s not just about time.

It’s about strength. Real strength.

✅ To safely begin running and impact activities after ACL surgery, athletes should achieve at least 80% Quadriceps Limb Symmetry Index (LSI).

Why does this matter?
Because your quad is the #1 shock absorber for the knee. If one leg is significantly weaker than the other, the body compensates — leading to:

⚠️ Poor landing mechanics
⚠️ Increased knee stress
⚠️ Higher reinjury risk
⚠️ Delays in return to sport
💪 80% LSI isn’t optional — it’s protective.

This standard is backed by research and is one of the first major checkpoints we use at KINISI to keep athletes safe and progressing.
At KINISI, we use force plate testing and objective strength measures to determine EXACTLY when an athlete is ready to run — no guessing, no “it feels okay,” no shortcuts.
Your comeback deserves science, not speculation.

✨🤸‍♀️ ATTENTION GYMNASTS & GYM PARENTS! 🤸‍♀️✨

Competition season is around the corner—let’s keep our athletes strong, resilient, and injury-free all year long.

KINISI is excited to launch our Youth Gymnastics Injury-Prevention Group, designed specifically for the demands of growing gymnasts.

This once-a-week training group focuses on:

✅ Targeted strength work to protect wrists, ankles, backs, and knees
✅ Stability + control drills essential for tumbling and apparatus work
✅ Flexibility training that supports healthy movement—not overstretching
✅ Recovery strategies to keep the body performing at its best
✅ Education to help young gymnasts understand why injury prevention matters

Led by Dr. Dominique Chaves — former collegiate gymnast and one of the few clinicians certified in Gymnastics Medicine through Boston Children’s Hospital — this program blends expert clinical care with real gymnastics experience. Your athlete will be learning from someone who has been exactly where they are now.

Our goal? Empower young athletes, build confident movers, and keep our girls healthy through the entire competition season. 💪💜

🧠💥 Your “good leg” after ACL surgery might not be as good as you think!

New research using brain imaging (fMRI) found that athletes after ACL reconstruction show increased brain activity even when using their uninvolved leg — meaning the brain is working harder to do what used to be automatic.

So what does that mean? ACL injury doesn’t just change your knee — it changes how your entire system moves and controls movement. This might help explain why so many athletes re-tear the opposite ACL within the first two years back to sport. 😬

It’s not just about muscle or symmetry anymore. It’s about how your brain, body, and movement patterns reconnect after injury — and why testing and training both sides matter.

💪 Why Hip Strength Matters 💪

At KINISI, we test more than just your injured leg — we measure Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) to make sure your strength is balanced. One of the biggest predictors of lower extremity injuries? Weak hip abductors.

Research shows athletes should achieve hip abduction strength = 30% of their body weight to significantly reduce risk of ACL tears, ankle sprains, and other lower extremity injuries. 🚫⚡
Strong hips = stable knees, safer landings, and more powerful performance. That’s why we don’t guess — we TEST.

We aren’t talking about your mom’s pink weights 💗🚫

Most girls drop out of sports before they ever learn how to lift — and along the way, they lose confidence in their bodies. At KINISI, we’re here to change that.

Strength training is the key to preventing injuries, building resilience, and fostering confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Our female-focused programs teach athletes to lift with purpose, power, and pride — so they can stay in the game and discover what their bodies are truly capable of.

Strong girls become strong women. And it starts with real strength training. 🏋️‍♀️✨

✨ACL Rehab Tip✨

One of the most important goals after ACL surgery? Getting your knee ALL the way straight. Full extension isn’t just about looking “normal” when you walk — it’s about protecting your joint, restoring proper mechanics, and preventing long-term problems.

When the knee doesn’t fully straighten, you can develop a flexion contracture, which puts stress on the joint, limits performance, and makes every step feel harder than it should.

This is why we don’t let pillows live under knees post-op 👀 — heel props and gentle extension work are your best friends!

✅ Full extension = smoother recovery, safer return to sport, and stronger performance in the long run.

🚨Post-op ACL patients... listen up!🚨

If you've ever had surgery, you know how tempting it is to prop a pillow under your knee for comfort. But here's the truth: that's one of the worst things you can do for your recovery.

Why? Because your #1 job early after ACL surgery is to get your knee all the way straight. Full extension sets the foundation for walking normally, rebuilding strength, and eventually running and cutting again.

👉🏻 When you put a pillow under your knee, you're actually encouraging it to stay bent. Over time, that can cause stiffness, muscle imbalances, and major setbacks in your return-to-sport timeline.

✅ Instead: keep that pillow under your heel to let gravity help you gently push into extension. It might not be the most comfortable position, but it's one of the most important steps you can take for a strong comeback.

At KINISI, we go crazy (in the best way) about this— because protecting your extension early protects your performance later.
