ACL & Meniscus Injury Rehabilitation in Coquitlam
Recover Stronger. Return Smarter.
An ACL injury can be devastating. At OT Performance and Rehab, our therapists specialize in comprehensive, personalized ACL and meniscus rehabilitation to help you fully recover and safely return to sport, work, or life with confidence.
The Reality of ACL Recovery
Even with surgery, not everyone returns to their prior level of activity:
- 10–20% of individuals don’t return to their previous activity levels
- 30–40% of athletes don’t return to their previous level of competition
- Up to 20% experience a second knee injury after returning to sport
That’s why a structured and objective rehab plan is essential—not just to return to play, but to stay there safely. The journey is long and often frustrating, but you're not alone. Our team is here to support, educate, and empower you through every step.
