ACL injuries can spell disaster for athletes. At HIDEF Physical Therapy in Renton, we turn that disaster into an opportunity for improvement. With cutting-edge technology, specialized care, and a long-term recovery plan, we guide you back to your peak performance.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Individualized Care
Before commencing any rehab program, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to understand your specific needs. Based on these findings, a tailor-made recovery plan is designed to offer you optimal care and ensure a successful recovery.
The Duration and Stages of ACL Rehab
ACL rehab is a long journey, typically spanning 10-14 months for a full return to sport. Though you won't need weekly sessions for this entire period, it’s crucial to have a physical therapist guide you through various recovery stages, ensuring a reduced risk of future injury.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Methods
We employ dynamometry to test strength against normative data, using serial testing to measure progress over time. Our rehab programs are criterion-based rather than purely time-based, allowing us to adapt and evolve your recovery plan as you progress. In addition, we utilize Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) to speed up strength gains and improve muscle hypertrophy.
Therapies and Exercises
Our approach blends manual therapies to improve range of motion and a series of tailored exercises, including sled drags/pushes, squats, hamstring curls, and proprioceptive training. Typically, patients attend 2 sessions per week initially, reducing to once a week as they reach later stages of recovery.
Exercise prescription and proper programming is the absolute key to success with ACL rehab. Our providers are trained in programming and are able to write strength programming that is safe and effective. With the right programming, you will be able to get full strength back and return to activity at the level you did prior to injury. Without the right programming you may be left with chronic weakness and inability to do the things you did prior to surgery.
Core Values that Fuel Our Approach
HIDEF Physical Therapy operates on a core set of values: optimism, curiosity, work ethic, empathy, and self-awareness. These values translate into a patient experience characterized by compassion, effectiveness, and the highest standards of care.
