ACL Rehab That Gets You Back Stronger Than Before.

ACL rehab should be more than just “checking the boxes.”

The Truth About ACL Recovery

An ACL injury isn’t just about the knee, it’s about your future.

Whether you want to return to your sport, your active lifestyle, or just pain-free movement, you can’t afford to settle for average rehab.

Too many athletes go through assembly-line rehab, only to reinjure or never get back to full speed.

At Ascent, you come back stronger.
