ACL Surgery Equipment Guide: Braces, Crutches, and Ice/Cryo Therapy

ACL Surgery: What to Expect Before Surgery
ACL reconstruction surgery (sometimes combined with a meniscus repair) is a big step toward returning to the activities you love. Many people feel nervous before surgery simply because they don’t know to expect.
“You can out Function bad Structure”
Function or software is the key to utilizing structure or hardware. Once you learn how you use your functional systems well, your structure can do its job again.
Not Everything is a Nerve Problem
Nerve problems vs nerve pain are different things. Do not get stuck thinking all of your pain and dysfunction is a neural tissue issue.
Start with “The Opposite”
Sometimes we have to fight conventional wisdom. You might be surprised how getting out of pain can start with the opposite movement.
EXERCISE vs. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Understanding the difference between EXERCISE vs. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY is crucial. Especially when goal setting and programming your journey for health and fitness.
Contract to Relax
Feel tight? Want to relax a muscle? With a particular technique you can not only relax muscle but strengthen it at the same time. You might be surprised how much better it is than static stretching.
Regional Interdependency
Theoretical mechanisms for pain, dysfunction, and injury most likely have a connection to each other. The multiple systems in our body have a complex interplay. Some of these relationships have common patterns with strong face validity.
Isolated Strength 1st Over Complex Movement Patterns
Clinically we find the most success for restoring your independence is with targeted strength training first. If we rush to big complex body weight movement patterns we often see staled progress. Instead start with isolated - simple strength based exercises.
ACTIVE over PASSIVE
A successful mindset for physiotherapy is one of action over inaction. Be hungry for an active rehab plan over a passive one. Your journey and your ability to overcome will be faster and smoother.
