Understand ACL Injuries and Statistics
ACL injuries are common among athletes and active individuals. Unfortunately, the road to recovery can be complicated, and without proper care, the risk of reinjury is significant. Here are some critical statistics to keep in mind:
Risk of a Second ACL Injury: Studies show that the rate of encountering a second ACL injury ranges from 14.1% to 29.5%. Returning to sports too early increases this risk.
Minimum Recovery Time: Research strongly recommends waiting at least 9 months post-surgery before returning to sports.
Importance of Return-to-Sport Testing: Athletes who successfully complete this testing are 35% less likely to suffer a second injury compared to those who skip it.
Limb Symmetry: Reducing imbalances between legs is essential for minimizing reinjury risk and optimizing performance.
Providing the HIGHEST Level of ACL Rehabilitation in the Greenville and Upstate Area
Our goal is to provide every patient with a comprehensive and effective recovery experience. From restoring range of motion to regaining strength and confidence, we prioritize every aspect of your rehabilitation journey.
Why Specialist Care Matters
Having a physical therapist who specializes in ACL rehabilitation is as important as having a surgeon who specializes in ACL surgery. At Myomuv, we focus on every detail of your recovery, ensuring you’re fully prepared to return to sports and daily life.
Well-Equipped Rehab Facility for ACL Rehabilitation
Most physical therapy clinics offer limited post-operative care due to small treatment spaces and inadequate equipment. At Myomuv, we provide:
A 40-yard indoor turf space for sport-specific drills like cutting, jumping, and landing.
An extensive weight room to build strength and stability.
The proper equipment to safely challenge athletes at every stage of recovery.
Confidence is a significant component of recovery, and our facility is designed to help you safely perform the movements necessary to regain it.
ACL FAQ
When can I safely return to sports after ACL reconstruction?
Research suggests waiting at least 9 months before returning to sports. Additionally, completing return-to-sport testing and achieving symmetrical range of motion and strength are essential to reducing the risk of reinjury.

What’s the likelihood of suffering a second ACL injury?
Approximately 20-25% of ACL patients suffer a second tear, often due to:
Returning to sports too early.
Lack of full knee range of motion.
Reduced strength in the surgical knee.
With proper physical therapy, these risks can be significantly reduced.
Why are second ACL tear rates so high?
Second ACL tears are often linked to incomplete recovery. Factors like unresolved limb imbalances, insufficient strength, and skipping return-to-sport testing increase the risk. Quality therapy addresses these issues to minimize reinjury risk.
Will my ACL knee ever feel the same as the other one?
Yes! With commitment to rehabilitation, your knee can feel normal again. At Myomuv, we focus on restoring full range of motion, strength, and confidence, helping you become the strongest version of yourself.
Parents often have several significant concerns when their child is undergoing ACL rehab. Here are the most common ones:
1. Long-Term Recovery and Re-Injury Risk
- Will my child fully recover? Parents worry about whether their child will regain full strength, mobility, and performance levels.
- What’s the risk of re-injury? Fear of another ACL tear or injury to the opposite knee is a major concern, especially if the rehab process is rushed or incomplete.
2. Return to Sport Readiness
- Will they ever play at the same level again? Parents are often anxious about their child’s ability to return to competitive sports and perform as they did pre-injury.
- How do I know they’re ready? Understanding when it’s safe for their child to return to play is a critical concern.
3. Quality of Rehabilitation
- Is the rehab tailored to my child’s sport? Many parents worry that generic rehab programs may not adequately prepare their child for the specific demands of their sport.
- Is the provider experienced with athletes? Trust in the expertise of the rehab professional is key for parents.
4. Emotional and Mental Well-Being
- How is this affecting their confidence? Parents notice when their child feels discouraged or frustrated during recovery.
- Will they lose their love for the sport? There’s concern about whether the injury and rehab process might cause burnout or fear of playing again.
5. Time and Commitment
- How long will this take? Parents want clarity on the rehab timeline and the commitment required from their child and family.
- Will they balance rehab with school/sports schedules? Juggling rehab sessions with other responsibilities can feel overwhelming.
6. Financial Concerns
- How much will this cost? ACL rehab can be expensive, and parents want assurance that they’re investing in the right care.
- Are there long-term expenses? Questions about follow-up care, additional treatments, or long-term impacts on their child’s health are common.
