Attention athletes looking to return to sport after an ACL tear, this program is designed specifically for you! I am a physical therapist who specializes in ACL return to sport and rehab. I combine my experiences as a certified strength coach and the latest research to prepare you for sport and decrease your risk of re-injury. This program is designed to make you faster, stronger, more confident, and more resistant to injury.

There are 5 workouts per week. Two strength/power gym sessions. A sport specific/agility session. And two optional mobility/recovery workouts.
