Our team begins with a thorough assessment to precisely diagnose the extent of the ACL injury and any associated damage. Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools and techniques, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs based on the best in class ACL programing with over 40 years of combined practitioner experience. Whether it’s a partial tear, complete rupture post operation, or associated injuries like meniscal tears or cartilage damage, we take a comprehensive approach to address all aspects of the injury. We work closed with local surgeons at Mckenzie Health and Markham Stouffville Hospital.

Advanced Rehabilitation Techniques:

Rehabilitation after ACL injury has evolved significantly in recent years, and at Form & Function, we’re proud to offer the latest advancements in ACL rehab. Our rehabilitation programs are designed to not only restore strength and stability but also to enhance neuromuscular control, proprioception, and movement patterns. We incorporate a variety of techniques, including:

• • Neuromuscular training: By focusing on exercises that improve muscle activation and coordination, we help individuals regain optimal movement patterns and reduce the risk of reinjury.
  • Biomechanical analysis: Using state-of-the-art technology, we analyze movement patterns to identify any deficits or imbalances that may contribute to ACL injury. This allows us to develop targeted interventions to address these issues and improve overall movement quality.
  • Plyometric training: Plyometric exercises are essential for rebuilding power and explosiveness in the affected leg while ensuring proper landing mechanics to reduce stress on the ACL.
  • Functional strength training: We emphasize functional strength exercises that mimic real-life movements and activities to ensure that individuals are adequately prepared to return to their desired level of activity.
  • Proprioceptive and balance training: Improving proprioception and balance is crucial for preventing future ACL injuries. We incorporate a variety of balance exercises and proprioceptive drills to enhance joint stability and reduce the risk of reoccurrence.

Prehabilitation for Injury Prevention:

In addition to rehabilitation following ACL injury, we also offer prehabilitation programs designed to reduce the risk of ACL injuries in high-risk individuals, such as athletes participating in sports that involve cutting, pivoting, and jumping. Our prehab programs focus on:

• • Strength and conditioning: Building strength and resilience in the muscles surrounding the knee joint can help reduce the risk of ACL injury. We design comprehensive strength and conditioning programs tailored to each individual’s sport-specific needs.
  • Neuromuscular training: Neuromuscular training aims to improve movement patterns and proprioception, reducing the risk of non-contact ACL injuries during dynamic activities.
  • Movement quality assessment: We conduct movement assessments to identify any deficits or imbalances that may increase the risk of ACL injury. Based on these assessments, we develop targeted interventions to address these issues and improve overall movement quality.
  • Education and injury prevention strategies: We provide education on proper warm-up techniques, landing mechanics, and injury prevention strategies to empower individuals to take an active role in reducing their risk of ACL injury.
