Why Physical Therapy Matters After ACL Injury

Physical therapy before and after ACL injury strongly influences pain, function, and return‑to‑sport rates. There is growing evidence that high‑quality, longer‑duration rehab and neuromuscular training reduce reinjury risk and improve long‑term outcomes. Pairing expert surgical care with evidence‑based physical therapy is one of the biggest determinants of whether they get back to the field and stay there.[1][2][3][4][5] Why Physical Therapy Matters After ACL Injury Early, structured physical therapy is now considered a core part of ACL management, whether the injury is treated surgically or non‑surgically. Research shows that recovery is not guaranteed with surgery alone; persistent strength, neuromuscular, and movement deficits can linger for years without targeted rehab.[2][6][7][8] Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients often show abnormal loading patterns and asymmetries in both legs, which are directly linked to higher risk of a second ACL injury.[3][7] High‑quality rehabilitation that addresses strength, movement mechanics, and neuromuscular control is essential to restore performance and protect the new graft or healing ligament.[5][3] Prehabilitation: Setting Up Surgery for Success Prehabilitation (structured PT before ACL reconstruction) focuses on regaining motion, strength, and neuromuscular control before surgery. Consequently, this prehabilitation meaningfully changes what happens after the operation. Systematic reviews report that prehab is safe and yields short‑, moderate‑, and long‑term benefits without increasing complication rates.[9][10][2] For example, a 2020 review found that prehab improves pre‑operative function and leads to better self‑reported knee function. This benefit lasts up to two years after ACL reconstruction, with trends toward faster and higher return‑to‑sport rates.[2] Additionally, recent work supports prehab programs that emphasize range of motion, quadriceps strength, and neuromuscular exercises. This prehab serves as a way to help patients meet or exceed accepted “pass” thresholds for symptoms and function before progressing.[10][9] Post‑Op PT: Speed, [...]

How Posture Impacts your Progress in the Gym by Renee Perkins

[This is a guest blog by Renee Perkins. Renee is enrolled at App State University and is currently taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship program.] Back pain affects 60-70% of people in their lifetime (Burton, 2005). The majority will experience this discomfort impacting mood and capacity to focus during daily activities. The cause of this back pain can stem from multiple root issues. That said, a key component to a healthy, pain free back is keeping it in good postural alignment. “Exercise can lessen the behavioral, cognitive and disability aspects of back pain syndromes” (Rainville, 2004). This research indicates it helps lower the intensity of back pain from 10% to 50% (Rainville, 2004). If prescribed appropriately, exercise can be the cure. But performed in an improper fashion it can add to the negative stress on the back. It is important to maintain ideal posture during exercises when the body is placed under a heavy load and excessive physiological stress. Prioritizing posture will help ensure the intended muscles are being worked to achieve the desired benefits and avoid injury (Hlavenka, 2017). The Link between Posture and Pain Posture is the way one's body is positioned statically or dynamically throughout the neck and spine. Posture is a part of form, but form is going to be more specific to each movement and focus on the extremities. Good posture can be simply defined as the alignment and ability of one to maintain a neutral neck and spine position (Harvard Health, 2014). The spine has a natural curve to it, the first thoracic vertebra is the most anteriorly tilted vertebrae while the first lumbar vertebrae is the most posteriorly tilted (Lafage, 2020). These tilts appear as a [...]

Red Light Therapy: What it is and Uses for Athletes by Liam Sutton

[This is a guest blog by Liam Sutton. Liam is a senior at Ball State University working towards his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a concentration in basic and applied sciences. He hopes to attend Australian National University’s Master of Neuroscience program after graduation. He is currently participating in the Athletic Lab Internship Program.] "The Armoury" from Red Light Rising in the Athletic Lab Recovery room. In the Athletic Lab recovery room, athletes have access to a red light therapy apparatus. This blog post is intended to educate Athletic Lab athletes on what red light therapy is, why an athlete would use it, and how to utilize it for optimal results.  What is Red Light Therapy?  Red light therapy is a form of light therapy that uses red and/or near infrared light to stimulate cellular energy production. While we can see red light, infrared light is outside the visible spectrum, meaning our eyes cannot pick it up. Our inability to see it does not lessen its effects; however, as both red and infrared light have been shown to have a variety of positive effects on the human body which can be harnessed to improve athletic performance and recovery. Research has shown improvements in sleep and many aspects of sport performance. Some literature suggests faster recovery from training. This article will address each of these elements, as well as look into what we think is the primary underlying mechanism of red light therapy so athletes who are interested will have a better understanding of what is happening at the cellular level. We will begin by going over how red light therapy can influence a state we spend about a third of our lives [...]

Frontal Plane Knee Motion and ACL Tears by Chris Graham

[Chris Graham is currently a graduate student at The University of Texas at Tyler where he is studying Kinesiology. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the NSCA and is currently a coaching intern at Athletic Lab.] Over the last decade or so, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears have skyrocketed even with increased training programs. A reason for this is that a disproportional amount of ACL tears occur in female athletes, who have increased participation in sport since the passing of Title IX. But why do so many ACL tears occur to female athletes? There has been research for many variables including looking at Q angles, hormonal differences, whether the athlete is menstruating, and also muscular imbalances. In this article, I'm going to explore the role of frontal plane motion at the knee in preventing ACL injuries. When it comes to ACL tears there, has been a significant correlation between excessive dynamic valgus forces and tears in elite female athletes (Hewett, 2005). This excessive abduction of the knee is considered to be a neuromuscular inefficiency as when they compared trained female and male athletes they found that there were different landing patterns between the genders. Joseph et al. found was that during a drop jump followed by an immediate vertical jump, the timing and organization of ankle eversion, knee valgus, and hip adduction varied significantly between the two groups. In the women's group, they found that they went through first knee valgus, then ankle eversion, and finally hip adduction whereas the men went through ankle eversion, knee valgus, and then hip adduction. This pattern, shown by the male group, is more optimal since we touch the ground with our feet first and the [...]

Rowing: does proper technique matter in terms of power production and does it help to prevent injury by Erin Ritterbusch

[This is a guest blog by Erin Ritterbusch who is currently an intern at Athletic Lab. Erin is a recent graduate of Auburn University where she received her Master's degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in biomechanics.] The first thing I learned when I joined the club rowing team at my undergrad was that technique is the most important aspect of becoming a powerful and efficient rower. Not only does it allow you to produce more power, but also helps prevent injuries that can occur with improper technique on the rowing machine. The sequence of a stroke is the basis of good technique, which helps rowers translate to the water. The biggest misconception with rowing is that power comes from your arms, but in actuality, the majority of power comes from your legs. The beginning of the stroke is called "the catch". The catch is then is followed by "the drive" phase, "the finish" or "release". The last phase of the stroke is "the recovery" phase. These four phases are sequential in nature rather than simultaneous because they should be treated as one fluid motion. *It should also be noted that the drive and recovery phases are normally seen as a 1:2 ratio; meaning that the time spent to "recover" on the way up the slide takes twice as long as driving the legs back during the power producing phase of the stroke. Creating this rhythm allows for the continuous flow of the stroke and gives you true recovery time. Additionally, on the water, it will reduce any forward jolting of the boat, which can set back the number of meters gained during the drive. 1: The Catch 2: The Drive [...]

When to Stop! The Cost of Playing Through Injuries by Jonte Brown

[This is a guest blog by Jonte Brown. Jonte is a graduate of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC with a degree in Sport Management and is currently serving as an Athletic Development Intern at Athletic Lab.] At some point in an athlete's career, no matter their level, they're going to get hurt. Most injuries require a medical release to return to competition. For an athlete who plays through an injury, he or she is at the risk of effecting their long-term health. Athletes are looked at as role models and heroes for sacrificing their bodies for the glory to win. Why do athletes take the risk and play injured? Maybe to show toughness? Coaches command it. Maybe for fans or the organization, or they just are not willing to miss out. Playing through pain is something that's been experienced by athletes since sports began. Playing with aches and pains are the norm in athletics, especially in contact sports in which players or prospects are sometimes graded on "toughness." Athletes train to control and master their bodies. A injury may seem like a form of betrayal to them because their body isn't cooperating with the physical demands. In reality, the body is telling the mind it needs a break. An individual's mentality has to be very strong to know when to shut it down and get fully recovered when injured to avoid potentially more severe injuries. The sayings, "there is no "I" in team," "get back out there," "suck it up," or "tough it out" are phrases players might hear when they don't feel 100%. The body isn't built to sustain high stress and impact movements for such prolonged periods. That's why the term [...]

A Balanced Look at CrossFit by Brandon Hooks

[This is a guest blog from Brandon Hooks. Brandon is a senior at Ferrum College pursuing his degree in Health and Human Performance. Brandon is participating in the coaching mentorship program at Athletic Lab.] CrossFit is based on functional movements at high intensity such as running, jumping, squatting, pushing and pulling. Changing movements during the workout at a high level is a key component to CrossFit. The Workout of the Day (WOD) is the set of routines that are going to be performed for the day and is designed to incorporate a broad range of exercises with a specific number of repetitions per exercise. For example: 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats could comprise the WOD. CrossFit is high intensity training. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) implements alternating short anaerobic bursts of exercise followed by recovery periods. This interval is critical for increased fitness. Research has shown that HIIT provides improved athletic capacity and condition and improvement in fat burning. The question that many ask or wonder is that, is CrossFit really good for you? There have been concerns and arguments that CrossFit isn't good for you because of the risk of injuries that are involved with doing certain CrossFit movements such as the kettlebell swing. In CrossFit competitions, the kettlebell swings are done to an overhead extension instead of to shoulder or eye level. Doing a kettlebell swing this way increases the risk of injury. I believe the Russian kettlebell swing is better for someone who is not used to doing those movements or in non-competitive CrossFit. I have seen the benefits and the good results from knowing a person that used CrossFit. This guy was a former Division I basketball player, [...]

Most coaches stop sets based on how athletes look, rather than how they are actually moving. VBT allows you to set a simple cutoff by monitoring bar speed. A bar speed drop of more than 20% from the first rep is an indicator that no matter how the athlete looks or what percentage of 1RM they are supposed to be moving, that they are fatigued beyond the necessary output they need to reach the target stimulus. We shut down the set so that we don’t keep the athlete accumulating a bunch of junk reps.

Top 5 Reasons to use VBT with your athletes: Reason #3: Objective load & zone prescription. Research over the years has mapped clear velocity zones for different strength qualities. Accelerative strength, strength speed, speed strength, and starting strength all live in different velocity zones. While percentage based training can target these qualities by prescribing an “ideal” load that can allow for different velocities, verifying the quality of the reps becomes a coaches visual interpretation and is subjective. Using VBT gives a clear picture of the athletes bar speed and verifies the quality of the bar speed and whether or not the target is hit on every rep.

We know there are weight room activities - squats, cleans, plyos, etc that contribute to speed development but we also know that these activities don’t come close enough to the intensity of forces and contraction speeds seen during a max velocity sprint. Therefore the best way to become faster is…..to sprint.

To reach a proper stimulus, sprinting must be done at 95%+ of the athletes max velocity. Do not confuse this with EFFORT. An athlete can be at an RPE of 10 yet not sprinting at 95%+ of their max velocity. So even if an athlete is running fast, even running as fast as they can, it doesn’t mean they are sprinting.
