Get Back in the Game—Stronger, Safer, and Smarter with Medici
An ACL injury can sideline you physically and mentally—but what happens after surgery often matters more than the surgery itself. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we understand that successful ACL recovery isn’t just about healing—it’s about rebuilding strength, restoring confidence, and preventing reinjury.
That’s why patients and athletes across Georgia trust our expert team to guide their recovery with the best physical therapy for ACL rehabilitation in the state.
Unfortunately, not all physical therapy programs are created equal. Generic, cookie-cutter rehab can delay healing and set you up for future injury. Common risks of inadequate ACL rehab include:
Without a properly guided, performance-based recovery plan, patients may never regain their full potential—or worse, end up back in surgery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we specialize in advanced, individualized ACL rehabilitation that blends orthopedic insight with sports science. Our licensed physical therapists work in direct collaboration with orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists to ensure your recovery is precise, progressive, and personalized.
What sets us apart:
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear is one of the most common and challenging knee injuries—especially for athletes and active individuals. Whether it happens during a sudden pivot on the basketball court or a misstep on a hiking trail, an ACL injury can be both physically and emotionally overwhelming.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe that understanding your injury is the first step toward a complete recovery.
The ACL is one of four major ligaments in your knee and plays a crucial role in maintaining knee stability, especially during movements that involve:
ACL tears often occur without contact, such as landing awkwardly or pivoting with your foot planted. When torn, it can cause:
In many cases, surgical reconstruction is recommended to restore ligament function—especially for active individuals and athletes.
Recovery from ACL surgery is a process—not a date on the calendar. While every patient is unique, here’s a general timeline:
The key to a successful ACL recovery isn’t just completing physical therapy—it’s completing the right therapy, at the right pace, with the right guidance.
At Medici, we follow a staged, data-driven rehab model that progresses from early healing to full performance. We don’t move you forward based on a calendar—we do it based on:
Each phase builds upon the last, so you can restore full strength, coordination, and confidence—and reduce your risk of future injury.
Recovering from ACL surgery requires more than just showing up for therapy—it takes a strategic, phase-based plan tailored to your body, your sport, and your long-term goals. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our ACL rehab program is designed to help you heal smarter and stronger, progressing safely from post-op protection to peak performance.
Each phase of our ACL recovery plan is guided by objective milestones, not just time. We track progress closely, ensuring you’re ready for each new level of activity—minimizing risk and maximizing recovery.
Goal: Protect the repair, reduce inflammation, and restore basic function
The first 2–4 weeks post-surgery focus on helping you recover from the procedure and restore foundational mobility. This phase is all about reestablishing comfort, confidence, and correct movement patterns.
Key components:
This phase lays the groundwork for a successful transition into strength-building and functional movement.
Goal: Rebuild strength, coordination, and joint control
Once mobility is restored and swelling subsides, the focus shifts to regaining strength and neuromuscular control—especially in the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core.
Key components:
Our therapists use real-time feedback, strength benchmarks, and biomechanical assessments to advance your recovery safely and effectively.
Goal: Prepare for high-impact movement and sport-specific performance
In this final phase, your knee is strong—but your mind, muscles, and movement patterns must also be game-ready. We focus on sport-specific drills, dynamic movement, and injury prevention strategies to ensure you’re not just ready—but resilient.
Key components:
We don’t guess—you’ll leave with the data, strength, and confidence to return to the field, court, or trail with total assurance.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all rehabilitation. Our ACL recovery programs integrate cutting-edge tools and evidence-based techniques to deliver faster, safer, and more complete recoveries. Whether you're a competitive athlete or simply want to regain everyday function, we leverage the most advanced methods in sports rehab and physical therapy to optimize your outcome.
Here’s what sets our ACL recovery programs apart:
Scar tissue and muscular tightness can limit range of motion and lead to compensatory movement patterns. Our licensed therapists use hands-on soft tissue work to:
This personal, tactile approach is critical for achieving full range of motion and restoring healthy biomechanics.
BFR training allows patients to build muscle and strength without placing excess load on healing tissues—ideal for early-stage ACL rehab.
How it works:
It’s a proven technique used by professional athletes and post-op patients alike to accelerate strength gains.
Every athlete moves differently—and recovery is about retraining those movements for efficiency, symmetry, and safety. Using functional movement screening, we:
After ACL surgery, even subtle changes in walking or weight distribution can lead to compensations, hip pain, or ankle instability. Our therapists use advanced gait and balance analysis tools to:
You should never return to sport based on a calendar date alone. At Medici, we use objective data and movement benchmarks to ensure you’re truly ready.
Our return-to-play assessments include:
We make sure your body—and your mind—are 100% prepared to compete again.
