It’s difficult to know what to do after you’ve torn your ACL. I’m here to help.
As a physiotherapist, I have diagnosed, treated and helped numerous athletes rehab their ACL tear and reconstruction. As an athlete, I have torn my own ACL and underwent surgical reconstruction and have been back playing soccer at my pre-injury level.
It’s hard to find trusted resources online that aren’t just based on lived experience. I’ve combined the most recent evidence-based advice, my physiotherapist expertise of treating ACLR athletes, in addition to my lived experience to create this resource for you.
“The ebook has been reassuring to me about where I’m at in recovery and strengthening right now. I tore my ACL skiing and am trying to strengthen to not get surgery and just cope with the injury.” – Hayley, ACL Athlete
Common questions you have that the ebook will answer about ACL injuries:
- Do you need surgery after tearing your ACL?
- How long does it take to recover from an ACL tear?
- Can the ACL heal on its own?
- When can I get back to my sport after my ACL injury/surgery?
- Does surgery protect my knee from other injuries or osteoarthritis?
You will feel prepared and empowered knowing you have a plan.
I’ve summarized the research and covered the topics that patients are always asking me in appointments. By getting the ebook, it’s like booking a physiotherapy session with me but for a fraction of the cost. You can read it and refer back to it whenever you need.
“I have referred to the book several times since I bought it. I also found the information about women tearing their ACLs more frequently interesting & disheartening. The ebook answered all of my questions.” – Hayley, ACL athlete
Here’s the topics I researched so you don’t have to:
- ACL tears – why do they happen?
- Prehabilitation – is it important?
- Treatment optons – surgical management, non-surgical management and the Cross Bracing protocol
- Graft types – which one is best?
- The best type of physiotherapist for treating ACL injuries
- Criteria-based rehabiliation – goals, timelines and milestones to hit
- The importance of knee extension and using open kinetic chain exercises after surgery
- Mental fitness strategies and psychological readiness after an ACL injury
- How long does it take to return to sport?
- Ways to manage your knee after the injury
“As a physiotherapist who has spent hours upon hours consuming research and best practices around rehab post ACL reconstruction, I can wholeheartedly say that Hannah has put together one of the best resources for ACL information I’ve ever seen.” – Josh Chung, physiotherapist
This resource is for you if you are:
- An athlete who just tore your ACL
- The parent or caregiver for a youth athlete who just injured their ACL
- In the initial rehabilitation phases of non-operative ACL management
- Waiting on a surgical ACL reconstruction date
- A coach wanting to understand ACL injuries to help with guiding your athletes through the injury
The ebook has been reassuring to me about where I’m at in recovery and strengthening right now. I tore my ACL skiing 6 months ago and am trying to strengthen to not get surgery and just cope with the injury. I also sprained my MCL at the same time.
I have referred to the book several times since I bought it. I also found the information about women tearing their ACLs more frequently interesting & disheartening. I hope this can change. Hannah’s Instagram page is great for helping me with discipline when I don’t feel like hitting the gym, but I know I have to if I want my life back.
The ebook answered all my questions without answering my questions about my specific injury & recovery (because obviously, it can’t, you don’t know me). I really appreciate it all and just keep going. Having someone ahead of you in the process helps as inspiration when the mental toll of this injury gets overwhelming.Hayley M, patient, ACL athlete
As a physiotherapist who has spent hours upon hours consuming research and best practices around rehab post ACL reconstruction, I can wholeheartedly say that Hannah has put together one of the best resources for ACL information I’ve ever seen. It’s comprehensive and up to date, giving someone dealing with an ACL injury everything they’ll need to understand their injury and take the next steps.
But at the same time, it’s easy to read, doesn’t sound like a biology textbook, and has the added bonus of some of her personal experiences from her ACL journey. This will 100% be something I recommend to any and all ACL clients walking through my doors, no matter where they are in their journey.Josh Chung, physiotherapist
Hannah’s ACL Injuries E-Book is a fantastic resource and a must-read for anyone suffering from an ACL injury. It is informative, up-to-date, and easily digestible for any reader.
Above all, it has great real life applications that can help patients make decisions regarding their rehab/recovery process and provides a roadmap to help set patients up for success. Highly recommend!Dr. Bijaan Lalani, chiropractor
Such a powerful and useful resource by Hannah. This eBook covers all of the essentials to get patients back to full function with confidence after an ACL injury. Would highly recommend whether you are a practitioner looking for something reliable to send your patients home with, or a patient looking for evidence-based and accurate guidance.
