STAGE 1: EARLY RECOVERY
Regaining Motion and Muscle Function
In this video and downloadable companion, Repoundzel documents exercises from her PT-directed plan during the early stages after her ACL rupture, including the training volumes she personally used and how her plan evolved. This is a case study of her nonsurgical recovery—not a rehabilitation program. A qualified healthcare professional should determine the exercises, dosage, and progression appropriate for your injury.
