athELITE Performance Therapy

Objective data doesn’t lie 📈

Check out these strength testing numbers for one of our ACL athletes, just two months post-op and already ahead of schedule.

The top images show where we were just one week ago. The bottom images show the results from today’s testing. In only seven days of targeted, high-intent rehab & performance training, we’ve seen:

✅ 22% decrease in knee extension asymmetry
✅ 11% decrease in knee flexion asymmetry
✅ Massive overall increases in absolute strength

At two months out, many athletes are still just trying to find their rhythm. This athlete is already closing the gap and building a foundation that will make the transition back to running and jumping much smoother.

This is why we test. We don’t guess on progress; we measure it. When you have a clear plan and the data to back it up, “ahead of schedule” becomes the new normal.

Great work by this athlete for staying locked in. 🤝

One lazy day a week might be exactly what your muscles need.

Rest isn’t the opposite of training, it’s part of it. Recovery is when the real progress happens. Without it, your body stays inflamed, your muscles can’t rebuild, and your gains hit a plateau.

Research shows that a full rest day each week helps:
• Reduce muscle inflammation
• Rebuild and grow muscle tissue
• Replenish energy stores (like glycogen)
• Balance hormones like cortisol and testosterone
• Prevent overuse injuries
• Improve long-term performance

Even elite athletes schedule rest to let their bodies adapt and grow stronger. Skipping recovery slows you down, no matter how hard you train.

You’re not being lazy. You’re giving your body what it needs to come back better.

So block off one full day each week.

Sleep in, take a walk, stretch, breathe....

Your muscles will thank you for it.

Your future strength and performance depends on it.
