ACL Rehabilitation Transformed at Mint Wellbeing: Expert Care with Advanced Technology

Author: Anita Holmes

Recovering from an ACL injury (anterior cruciate ligament) is a challenging journey that requires a structured and tailored approach. At Mint Wellbeing, we’ve developed an innovative rehabilitation program that blends expert Physiotherapy care with cutting-edge technology including VALD Forceplates and Blood Flow Restriction training. This combination allows us to deliver precise, personalised care that accelerates recovery and optimises outcomes for you.

The Importance of ACL Rehabilitation 

An ACL injury can significantly impact your mobility, strength, and overall quality of life. Whether you’re an athlete aiming to return to your sport or someone looking to regain everyday functionality, effective rehabilitation is essential. Poorly managed recovery can lead to re-injury or long-term instability in the knee as well as extending the process to longer than it need to be.

That’s why at Mint Wellbeing, we prioritise an evidence based approach that ensures a strong, stable, and resilient recovery. Our expert Physiotherapists work closely with each patient, creating bespoke plans that adapt to individual needs and goals. 

VALD Forceplates: A Game-Changer in ACL Rehabilitation 

One of the tools we utilise in our ACL rehabilitation program is the VALD Forceplate system. These advanced force measurement devices provide real-time, detailed data about your movement, balance, and force output. Here’s 4 ways they enhance the rehabilitation process: 

1. Objective Assessment: The VALD Forceplates allow us to measure asymmetries in force and balance between your injured and uninjured legs. This objective data gives us clear insights into your recovery progress. 

2. Precision Tracking: By regularly assessing your performance, we can identify areas of improvement and adjust your rehabilitation plan as needed.

 3. Enhanced Feedback: The immediate feedback from the Forceplates helps you better understand your movements and correct compensatory patterns.

4. Injury Prevention: By monitoring metrics like landing mechanics and force distribution, we can guide you in developing safer movement patterns that reduce the risk of re-injury.
