ACL Injury

Understanding ACL Injury Physical Therapy

An ACL injury can be a game-changer—especially for active individuals and athletes. Whether it’s from a sudden twist, a hard landing, or a quick change in direction, tearing your anterior cruciate ligament can lead to pain, swelling, instability, and a major setback in your performance.

At PREP Performance Center in Chicago and Niles, we specialize in ACL injury rehabilitation that not only helps you recover, but also rebuilds strength, stability, and confidence—so you can get back to doing what you love, safely and stronger than before.

Expert ACL Injury Physical Therapy in Chicago and Niles

Even with years of research, ACL injuries are still complex. They often result from a mix of internal factors—like anatomy, hormones, and muscle control—and external ones, such as footwear, playing surface, or player contact. At PREP Performance Center, our physical therapists are skilled at spotting movement patterns and imbalances that raise your risk. Whether you’re recovering or looking to prevent injury, we design personalized plans to help you stay strong, stable, and confident.

How PREP Performance Center Helps You Recover and Stay Strong

At PREP Performance Center, we go beyond basic rehab. Our goal is to help you fully recover, regain confidence in your movement, and lower your risk of future injury. With two convenient locations in Chicago and Niles, IL, our expert team specializes in ACL rehabilitation for athletes and active individuals of all levels.

We start with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include diagnostic tools like the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS). This jump-landing test helps us spot movement patterns and assess your risk for non-contact ACL injuries. With that insight, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Your personalized rehab program may include a mix of manual therapy, ice and heat treatments, ultrasound, strength training, balance work, and progressive return-to-sport drills.

According to research from SpringerLink, only 44% of young athletes return to their pre-injury level—and up to 23% experience a re-injury. That’s why PREP focuses not just on getting you back to full strength, but helping you stay there.

Our mission is long-term recovery, injury prevention, and performance enhancement—so you can return to your sport stronger, safer, and more confident than ever.
