In this video and downloadable companion, Repoundzel documents exercises from her PT-directed plan during the initial stages of rebuilding strength 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.
