What you should know about ACL rehab.

A staggering 250,000 ACL injuries happen every year in the United States. Athletes often suffer from knee injuries as a result of jumping and pivoting incorrectly while playing sports. Female athletes, in particular, have a 10 times greater risk of suffering an ACL injury than males. Even after surgery, athletes are highly susceptible for a second ACL injury and to develop osteoarthritis later in life.

The fact is that many of these ACL injuries are preventable with help from a sport’s physical therapist. Simple techniques can help train athletes of all ages to jump, land, and perform physical activity with less force traveling through the ACL. Often, these training tips result in overall improved performance because athletes are using their bodies more efficiently.

If you have sustained an ACL injury and are planning your post-operative rehabilitation, you need to ensure that you seek out a physical therapist who not only will return your full range-of-motion and strength but will also uncover and correct any movement technique abnormalities that may have contributed to your ACL injury. Our goal at Ivy Rehab is not only to get you back on the field, but to train you to run, jump, land, and cut in a manner that protects your knees and minimizes the risk of a second ACL injury. Second ACL injuries happen in as much as 30% of young athletes who return to sport after undergoing ACL surgery.

This past winter, I decided to finally have a total replacement of my severely arthritic right knee which I have delayed for many years due to fear of slow recovery, on top of my sluggish walking due to the dropped foot, then add the pandemic in all built on my hesitation of elective knee surgery. After deep thought and prayer, I made the decision to have the right knee replaced. There is only one place I will go for orthopedic surgery and that is the Hospital for Special Surgery in NY. And Kudos to Brian Chalmers MD my orthopedic surgeon. There is only one place I will go to for physical therapy and that is Excel at Westfield New Jersey and Dr. Aaron Ploshnick.Due to my existing problems with my left foot I was very apprehensive of the post knee replacement recovery and accompanying physical therapy. I must state that my apprehensive was totally relieved by the excellent therapy, sensitivity and moral support of my physical therapist Dr. Aaron Ploshnick. I am now four months out of surgery and walking better and pain free.Kudos to my surgeon HSS’s Dr. Chalmers and Kudos to Excel’s Dr. Ploshnick, as I can now say that I am pain free and walking better than I have over the past four years.Excel’s Dr. Ploshnick provides EXCELlent physical therapy and as a bonus, related positive mental therapy as well.J. SchifferResponse from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★★ I’m immensely sad to be reaching the end of my treatment here. I originally came in with one issue and was able to overcome it, but we later discovered some postpartum concerns as well. Katherine has helped me so much in multiple ways, she’s been an incredible listener and always recommended the right exercises. She even shared food with me . I also tried offering some food from Wawa in return. During my time here which was close to two years, dry needling was definitely my favorite part of the treatment! I highly recommend coming here for your rehab needs and asking for Katherine she’s amazing!Response from the ownerYour kind review made our day, thank you so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Norfolk – Granby ★★★★★ Currently being treated here, Everyone has been great here from the receptionist to the therapist and even other the other patients. I lucked out when workman’s comp picked this place they actually treat you like a person and not just another workmans comp case.Response from the ownerHearing this feedback means so much to us, thank you for sharing! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy – West Deptford – 1007 Mantua Pke ★★★★★ I was referred to the clinic for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and upper extremitiy parethesia, rounded shoulders (poor posture) and recovering from muscle wasting from GLP-1 medication use.I also have a hypermobile EDS, Autism/ADHD- and was in the middle of a severe mental and physical burnout at the time.This is important to note because it means I needed some accommodations in order to be able to complete my therapy, both physically (such as gentler stretches, extra gradual increase due to hEDS susceptibility to injury) and also accomodations for my communication differences and at times anxiety/emotional understanding. My pain tolerance significantly lowers when I am in mental burnout and vise versa.I worked with Katherine from day 1 and it was an absolute refreshing experience. Katherine listen to me, I felt heard. Having chronic pain and sensory processing problems, trying to verbalize my experience to a medical professional is very hard- but Katherine knew exactly how to help me, what questions to ask to help me interpret my pain sensations (this is something that is extra difficult, in my Autistic experience).When I first started in June, I could barely carry my groceries inside in one trip (and we all know the game we play with ourselves to strive to bring all the groceries in one trip! Haha!)Today, I am stronger than ever- and can take my groceries from the car in one trip!I am more motivated to continue my at home exercises because of my experience with Ivy Rehab.She taught me what to do and WHY it will help.I feel better physically, myental health improved as well. Katherine was an integral part of my burnout-recovery.Honestly the whole team there is so welcoming and you feel like youre in a place among friends.You can really sense the medical staff is a supportive cohort that works together, and they actually care about you.P.s Shout out to Grace for being a super efficient and awesome receptionist. She answers and replies quickly, and takes the time to explain answers for any questions you have.I highly recommend this clinic to anyone- in particular, clients who have any type of neuro-divergecies, sensory processing issues, or learning impairments of anykind.P.s.s Also, consider trying the dry needling trigger point treatment really does help muscle tightness and knots.Response from the ownerHearing this feedback means so much to us, thank you for sharing! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Norfolk – Granby ★★★★★ Caroline is wonderful!! She helped me to rehab a very very bad ankle sprain and ligament tears. I avoided surgery because of her excellent care and dedication. Megan is a great asset to the team and office. They both work so well together and help make the entire Ivy ReHab experience one I would thoroughly recommend to anyone.Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Cary ★★★★★ Had an excellent experience during several weeks of PT for my shoulder here. Joe helped strengthen my shoulder so I got back to playing pickleball. Also he didn’t hesitate to help me out on a few visits when my back and vertigo were acting up too. The friendly atmosphere and camaraderie of the whole staff made going to PT regularly a whole lot easier!Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy – West Deptford – 1007 Mantua Pke ★★★★★ Wonderful and caring team! I wish I’d had access to physical therapy of this standard earlier in my life. Thank you, Bob, Helen, and everyone else at Ivy Rehab!Response from the ownerYour kind review made our day – thank you so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Princeton ★★★★★ Matt helped my son recover from his second knee surgery. He treated him with respect and understanding. He explained all exercises and stretches, so it made sense as to why it was going to help his knee.We had nothing but a positive experience, from treatment to appointment times that worked for us.My son’s progress was amazing this time recovering, his leg is almost straight.I can fully say we trust Matt 100% to help any of our family or friends to recover from anything they may need help with.A positive atmosphere is just as important as positive treatment and we are so impressed with IvyRehab, as well as thankful.Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Monroe ★★★★★ Yesterday was my first day at Ivy rehab and all went very good. The place is beautiful, very spacious and very clean and my physical therapist was wonderful. We worked out a little and I have home exercises to do and I will return tomorrow . I’m very happy there and I would highly recommend them.Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Somerset ★★★★★ First time at Ivy Rehab, and my son who normally doesn’t do well in new places and new people, met Ms. Rachel and he was immediately engaged and playing and talking with her. She was so sweet and welcoming and immediately accommodated his obsession with trains and animals. Even the random staff members we interacted with were so kind and engaging with all the kids here. It was really a great positive experience. So glad we found this placeResponse from the ownerYour kind review made our day, thank you so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab for Kids – North Wales ★★★★★ We absolutely love Ivy Rehab for Kids! Miss Tiff is SO great with our three year old. He is currently under treatment for “in-toeing” and walking on his tippy toes! Miss Tiff is teaching us how to strengthen his thigh and hip muscles so we utilizes them more. We could not be happier with our experience. Everyone there is so friendly and just wonderful with our little guy!Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab for Kids, North Wales js_loader
