ACL Rehab Gets You Back in the Game

When you get an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, our ACL rehab team can get you back in the game. We know you want to return to your activity quickly and safely. 

Our ACL rehab program guides you through each step after an ACL injury. Sports medicine specialists and physical therapists create your treatment plan. 

Our unique program was created by Dr. John Xerogeanes, chief of sports medicine at the Emory Orthopaedic & Spine Center, along with physical therapists Mike Newsome and Dan Kraushaar. 

ACL Injury Prehabilitation

After an ACL injury, it’s important to get moving as soon as possible. Prehabilitation exercises prepare you for ACL surgery. These ACL exercises will help you achieve your goals to:
