ACL Recovery Exercises I Did 7 to 9 Months Post-Op

Hello! Just as mentioned at the beginning of the video:
-I am not a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or strength and conditioning coach.
- I do not have a film of every single thing I did. This is not a comprehensive list, it is some of the main exercises I was doing. I also continued many exercises from prior months.
-This is based on MY recovery, experience, and doctor's protocol. Yours may be different depending on your injury, surgeon, and goals. Follow the guidance of your doctor.

With that being said, these are some of the main exercises I did 7-9 months post-op for ACL recovery. A LOT changed in this time, and I tried to place the exercises somewhat chronologically for that reason. I have separate videos and blog posts for each month of my recovery.

Hey Rashida, thank you for these great videos. Just had my surgery 2 weeks back and have been binge watching your videos ever since.
When could you properly start running and change direction while running post surgery?
Also when could you start jumping?

Hey, I was searching for exercise and you popped up. We played pick up soccer in the past. I had a torn acl surgery a year ago and still can’t fully bend and extend my knee. Any advice?

[mouthofthesouth]

Hey champ, I’m about 7/8 months post op and do a couple of these plus use the machines. My question to you is: was this your gym routine for this period? Was there anything else you did that wasn’t shown in this vid? Thanks x

Hiii mam I have 1 question my acl surgery has 14 weeks done but my knee is little unstable and clicking back side sometime please reply me this normal...?

[seydunaalamut]

i can't jump with one leg, why do you think?

[madan_sai]

Do you get popping sensation when you do leg extension

[chrismanous]

I’m 8 months out and I feel like any functional movement is not working out well for me. I’m gaining solid strength back, but any single leg hopping, running, or athletic movements just feel so unnatural and like 50% of the sensation of the other leg. Did u ever experience this?

[TheBobbyWatson]

So i had acl and meniscus I’m right at 6 months. I been playing basketball and running about 5-6 miles. I might be doing too much, but was it normal for your knee to swell up after a vigorous workout?

[ashleyholum]

Did your knee pop at all? I’m a little over 4 months after my surgery and sometimes it pops when I extend my leg

[hope]

Hey i appreciate ur hard work.
Can meniscus b treated without undergoing surgery bcz surgery might not be good for longer run ..if u could help

[analizadeguzman]

what is the affected side left or right?

[jayjyotisarma]

After 100 days post surgery can I do this?

[YogawithKristineGioia]

Hi Rashida, I’ve messaged you on Facebook . Can you respond?
