If you’re working your way through the ACL prehab process, you may have heard a few ACL prehab goals to aim for before your doctor’s surgery. These goals often include goals such as:
Achieving these goals WILL put you in a much better position than if you avoided prehab altogether. However, much more can be accomplished during the prehab phase. The overarching goal we recommend is to get as close to 100% as possible before surgery (achieving the goals listed above is certainly not an indication that you are 100%). Doing so will increase your chances of optimal posterior recovery, increase your confidence toward surgery (which also plays a role in recovery), and potentially allow you to have a conversation with your doctor about ask whether or not you need surgery. (another blog post will go into that in more detail).
