At MANA in Fairport, NY, our ACL recovery program is built for athletes in Rochester, Penfield, Victor and the surrounding area who were cleared at six months and still do not feel ready — because the research says you probably are not.
Then you are in the right place. Here is how we work.
There are specific benchmarks that predict a safe return to sport. Many athletes are never tested objectively, which raises the risk of re-injury to the same knee or the other one. If the benchmarks are not met, we change the plan — no matter how long it has been since surgery.
There is usually a real gap between where your body needs to be and where it is. Strength work is not as exciting as running and jumping, but it is what earns you the right to do them. You show us you are ready by passing the tests — we do not skip steps.
Even once you are cleared, we do not just send you back out. We lay out the steps to navigate your return to sport as safely as possible, with the goal of being back to your pre-injury self.
