ACL Rehab

ACL Rehabacl reconstruction

We always programme bilateral leg press before single-leg work post-ACL. Not because single-leg is dangerous earlier — it's not. But you need the quad volume first. Skipping that step is why people stall at month three.

The thinking behind it

Most ACL rehab protocols jump to single-leg loading too quickly. Building bilateral quad strength first creates a more stable foundation for the asymmetric demands that follow — and keeps people from hitting the classic month-three plateau.
