Returning to high-risk sport following ACL injury, especially without completing a dynamic and comprehensive return to performance program, puts the athlete at a risk of re-injury up to 40x greater than athletes who have never suffered an ACL rupture. Evidence suggests that without the best rehab and continued training following your return to sport, re-injury rates can be as high as 20% within the first few years back tosport.
Social participation in sport across Australia is growing rapidly; especially amongst the new and emerging Women's competitions. This has a trickle down effect at a grass-roots level, with social participation in women's AFL alone increasing by 140% in just two seasons. Poor formal training, preparation and injury resilience is resulting in many more athletes suffering ACL injuries than what existed prior to women's sports participation exploding.
There is clear evidence that a structured, progressive and outcome-driven rehab plan improves athlete outcomes when recovering from an ACL. While there is no such thing as a 'perfect' rehab, the components of a great rehab include: regular and consistent touch points with your allied health support team (physiotherapists, psychologists, orthopaeadic surgeons etc), regular, guided and progressive strength training, return-to-running frameworks that build you up to exceeding game demands and effective and accurate exit-testing to ensure your physiological and psychological markers have returned to pre-injury levels.
There are three primary options for an athlete to consider following ACL rupture. The first is to approach rehab non-operatively, where the athlete attempts to return to pre-injury levels of strength and stability. This is also called the 'conservative' approach. The second option is surgery, where a graft is taken from your hamstring, patella, quad (or donor), and your ACL is reattached. The third option is the most novel, known as the Bracing protocol. For some athletes, the rupture occurs in such a way where bracing the knee at specific angles may result in the natural re-attachment of the ACL fibres. It's important to consult your managing physiotherapist and physician to discuss what options suit your situation the best.
In the event of a minor ACL strain (what we call a partial rupture), there is a chance your ACL may heal. In the event of a full rupture, it is unlikely that your ACL will naturally heal without intervention. For athletes who want to return to high-contact or high-pivot sports, options for surgery and rehab should be considered alongside your physiotherapist and surgeon.
If you experience any of the below, we would always recommend a review by a qualified health professional (like a physiotherapist), for review:
A loud popping sound during running, change of direction, or a contact episode
Pain that prevents you from continuing normal activity
Swelling around the knee joint
Loss of range of motion
A feeling of instability around the knee joint.
If any of these symptoms are present, we'd always recommend to get it reviewed by a professional. Rather be safe, than sorry.
While everyone's timelines will be different following ACL injury and surgery, the typical timelines recommend 9-12 months to return to sport, although this can be shorter, or longer, in individual circumstances.

The traditional approach for rehabbing an ACL revolves around session-to-session care; where you pay for a single consult, get advice, and return at agreed upon intervals with your practitioner. Typically, the sessional-approach does not support you with training and advice outside the consult, meaning you spend more time by yourself. Our approach turns that idea on its head -- rather than paying each time you see us, you pay one fixed weekly cost, and you can see us as often as you'd like (some athletes are at our facility 5x per week!). This approach means that you get all the support you need, whenever you need it. This results in great rehab outcomes for our athletes and better support along the way.
We'll support you for the length of your ACL rehab and even past your return to sport date if you want us too!
Our ACL rehab program includes everything you need to return to sport with confidence following ACL injury:
Unlimited physiotherapy support and care
Unlimited coaching across 80 hours a week on the gym floor
Weekly, individualised programming
Your own running coach to help you get back on the pitch or court
Unlimited access to recovery services, like GameReady, NormaTec compression boots, our Anti-Gravity treadmill, and our icebaths and spa.
All your staged exit testing using our sports science technology
Mental skills support to help you rebuild your confidence
Nutrition support by our dietician
And most importantly, a great community of other athletes going through the same thing you are.
In some cases, we do look after athletes remotely. If you live interstate or can’t make it to the facility, please reach out to us and we’ll assess if we can help. Most of the time, we’ll refer you to a coach we recommend in your city, because nothing beats coaching and accountability in the flesh. However, if you really want to work with us, we can explore that option with you, utilising telehealth, video coaching, and other remote technologies.
We value transparency in pricing. We have a simple price structure -- pay $197 per week, and get everything you need (see our full inclusions above).
Yes. When you prepay for the year, you’ll receive an additional 10% off our advertised weekly price.
We totally understand. Both Karl and Lachlan worked at big commercial gyms and understand how a lot of trust has been lost with gyms and direct debit (DD) memberships. If you don’t feel comfortable setting up a DD with us, prepaying for your ACL rehab is still an option.
