Goal Based Roadmap

Education at Every Step

More than just you

Don't guess when you should be doing what. Hit goals laid out for you, personalized based on the nature of you and your surgery.

It's your body, you deserve to know what you are dealing with. Learn about the nuance of you recovery and why the goals are the way they are, at every stage.

Your health is as much mental and it is physical, and the mental aspect of ACL rehabilitation is often underlooked. Talk to people who've gone through the same. Understand their recoveries, so you can be more confident in your own.

1 in 3 people who return to intense cutting sports are reinjured in the first 2 years after ACL reconstruction (1).
‍
Evidence-backed standards have been researched, but are rarely used in rehab. Patients either return too fast or with too little preparation, without knowing that they are unprepared. This is often followed by complications down the road in both the short and long term. Insurance-backed therapists are frequently not allowed nor equipped to follow a patient's entire journey (9+ months) from off the surgical table back to sport.

Readiness Score

Your Readiness Score is the most important indicator of your health. It's the most succinct way to answer the question "are you ready yet?"

Protocol

Each stage of the rehab has clear goals. That clarity gives purpose to the workouts, and makes the rehab process easier.

Knowledge

Why do the goals exist, and how do they affect your outcomes? Is long term swelling an issue? Knowing "why" informs the "how."

It's your body you are looking after. You deserve to know what's important, not just to go back to your activities, but also for the longevity of your body. You can be working with a clinician right now, or you can be 5 years out from your surgery but never got the care you should have -- AVA aims to help you get back to the activity levels you previously had.
