ACL & KNEE INJURY
SPECIALIST IN COLUMBIA, MD
FROM SURGERY TO THE GAME: ELITE KNEE REHAB
A knee injury—especially an ACL tear—is a pivotal moment for any athlete. You aren't just looking for "physical therapy"; you’re looking for a specialist who understands the biomechanics of cutting, jumping, and sprinting. At Arsenal Performance & Rehabilitation, we provide the most advanced ACL and knee reconstruction recovery program in Howard County.
WHY ARSENAL FOR
ACL & KNEE REHAB?
01
Phase 1: Post-Op Precision.
We focus on early range of motion, swelling management, and quad activation—the "shut down" of the quad is the biggest hurdle in early ACL recovery.
02
Phase 2: Strength Development.
Using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy, we build muscle mass and strength without overstressing the healing graft or joint.
03
Phase 3: The Power Shift.
Transitioning from "rehab" to "training." We introduce linear loading, heavy strength work, and posterior chain development.
04
Phase 4: Return To Sport.
This is where we one-up the competition. We use objective testing for jumping, landing mechanics, and reactive agility to ensure you are 100% ready for the unpredictability of the field or court.
OBJECTIVE TESTING:
NO GUESSING GAMES
The highest risk for a second ACL tear is in the first two years after surgery. We minimize this risk through data-driven benchmarks. Before you are cleared, we test:
Quad Index:
Ensuring your surgical leg is within 90-95% strength of your healthy leg.
Landing Mechanics:
Analyzing your hip and ankle stability to prevent "valgus" (knee cave) upon impact.
Rate of Force Development:
Can you produce power quickly enough to stabilize your knee during a sprint or cut?
