Sports rehab is not the same as ortho rehab. Returning to a clinic-level "pain-free" is not enough - athletes need to absorb forces that are 5-7x their body weight while sprinting, jumping or rotating. Our protocols build that capacity in stages.

Phase 1 (Acute): Pain control, swelling reduction, gentle range of motion. Usually first 1-2 weeks for most injuries. Phase 2 (Recovery): Restoring full range of motion and basic strength - typically 2-6 weeks. Phase 3 (Functional): Sport-specific drills, plyometrics, change of direction, balance and proprioception.

Phase 4 (Return-to-Sport): Real-game scenarios, fatigue testing, contact preparation. We test you objectively (single-leg hop tests, Y-balance, isokinetic strength) before clearing you to play, so you don't come back too early and re-injure.

For ACL post-surgery cases in Jaipur, our typical timeline is 9-12 months to full return to contact sport - because the science says anything earlier doubles the re-injury risk. We do not rush this. Your second knee thanks us.
