The ACL Bridge program is a specific program designed for patients recovering from knee injuries or ACL surgery.  For maximum benefit, the patient needs to train 3 times per week for a total of 26 sessions.  Each one hour session is designed to focus on patient strength, agility, speed, and recovery.  During the ACL Bridge program, each patient will train by using a forwards and backwards treadmill and plyometrics.  The program also includes a dynamic warm-up specific to the flexibility of the hamstrings, quadriceps, and hip flexors.

In the first session, the athlete is required to perform a pre-evaluation which includes a 3PQ test to measure the strength of each leg.  These results are recorded and saved to compare with a patients post evaluation (3PQ and strength).

 The goal of the ACL Bridge program is for the patient to develop a significant improvement in strength and stability in their operated leg and that they can maintain that improvement throughout ADL’S and/or while playing other sports.
