Previous posts have discussed the importance of ACL prehab, the goals you should aim for in prehab, and different types of exercises you can expect in a quality ACL prehab program.
This message will dive one step further and reveal the exact exercises used in the Accelerate ACL prehab protocol. Please note that within the Accelerate ACL protocol, the effects of these exercises are magnified by the Neubie and coaching by Accelerate ACL trainers.
The exercises used by Accelerate ACL are chosen to train the muscles so that they are properly activated through a full range of motion. When muscles are activated properly, they create and absorb force efficiently, meaning minimal force goes to the joint or injury site.
As the body realizes that the muscles are functioning properly and it is safe for the knee to move, pain decreases, range of motion increases, normal walking is restored, and strength is developed.
With the help of our trainers, these exercises can easily be adapted to suit any stage of the prehab or ACL recovery process. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend staying within the guidelines of your doctor and/or physical therapist and never using a range of motion that causes >2/10 pain.
