Learning the basics post op ACL

20/04/2026

On-field is where it all comes together 👊

Not just gym numbers. Not just VALD ForceDecks data.
We use that data to help understand why a player moves in a certain way..

Real-time coaching 🎯
Real movement under real pressure ⚡
Real feedback that actually transfers to performance

We’re looking at:
➡️ Sprint mechanics & intent
➡️ Acceleration, deceleration & change of direction
➡️ Contact times & reactive strength
➡️ Position-specific movement demands

Using live feedback, we coach in the moment — adjusting mechanics, improving efficiency, and reinforcing better patterns instantly.

This is where rehab meets performance.
This is where numbers turn into outcomes.

Bridge the gap from treatment table to performance.🚀

Advanced rehab 🤝 Advanced strength & conditioning 🤝 Advanced performance testing

Your one-stop shop to take you from injury → full return to play 🚀

We bridge the gap from the treatment table to performance using objective data, cutting-edge tech, and proven rehab strategies 📊

No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just results.

Why we target the Force–Velocity Curve ⚡️📊

Performance isn’t just about getting stronger… it’s about applying the right force at the right speed.

By profiling an athlete’s Force–Velocity curve, we can identify whether they need more force 🏋️‍♂️ or more velocity 🚀 — and train accordingly.

No generic programmes. Just precise, individualised development.

Velocity-based assessment is a key part of our training — allowing us to target specific zones across the curve, from max strength to high-speed power, making every rep count.

Top work from Paul Loonam 🥊 dialling in his power output 👊

Build force. Move fast. Unlock performance.

Why we use LIVE feedback in sessions ⚡️📊

It’s all about intent.

With real-time data like contact times ⏱️ and Reactive Strength Index (RSI) 📈, we can coach athletes to move better, faster, and more explosively — on the spot.

No guessing. No wasted reps. Just objective feedback driving performance.

Using the Output device, we can adapt across multiple exercises — from jumps to strength work — making every session targeted and measurable.

Big work from Paul Loonam 🥊 putting this into practice 👊

Train with purpose. Measure what matters. Perform when it counts.

Great to work with Orla over the past year after her ACL injury 👏

The journey hasn’t been easy, but she’s put in a serious amount of work behind the scenes 💪 — ticking every box from early rehab right through to advanced strength, power, and movement work 📈

Now it’s time to round things off with some contact work before a full return to play 🔥

Massive credit to her commitment and consistency — that’s what gets results 🙌

Why I use Velocity based training in S&C 👇

Objective data > guesswork 📊
Every rep tracked, every session accountable ✔️

🎯 Prescribe the right load
⚡ Max intent on every rep
📉 Monitor fatigue in real time
📈 Progress athletes with precision

It bridges the gap from gym → performance 🚀

🔬 Why Perform Isokinetic Testing Post-ACLR?

Following ACL reconstruction, strength isn’t just about how much weight they can lift — it’s about objective, joint-specific force production across controlled velocities.

Isokinetic testing allows us to:

✅ Quantify quadriceps & hamstring peak torque (not guess it)
✅ Detect limb asymmetries (LSI) that may still exist despite good gym numbers
✅ Assess strength at different speeds (e.g. 60°/s vs 180°/s) to mirror sport demands
✅ Evaluate H:Q ratios and hamstring graft recovery
✅ Guide progression from rehab ➡️ field ➡️ full return to play
✅ Reduce re-injury risk by ensuring true strength restoration, not just compensation

For high-level field athletes, restoring quad strength is critical — persistent deficits are strongly linked to poorer performance outcomes and increased re-injury risk.

Data removes emotion. Numbers guide decisions. 📊⚽

Return to play isn’t just about running fast and lifting heavy 💪 — it’s about being ready for CONTACT.

In early stage contact prep, we place a huge emphasis on:

🤸‍♂️ Falling mechanics – teaching athletes how to absorb force safely
🦵 Landing positions – controlling trunk, hip & knee alignment under load
🤝 1v1 contact drills (submaximal → maximal intent) – gradually exposing the athlete to real-game demands
🧠 Body awareness under chaos – preparing for the unpredictable and making calculated decisions when moving into contact scenarios

We build confidence first.
Then control.
Then intensity.

By progressing from controlled submax efforts to full intent contact, we reduce fear, restore robustness, and prepare the athlete for the true demands of competition 🏉⚽🔥

Return to play is earned — not rushed.
