CENTER FOR ACL RECOVERY
Acute Phase
The Center for ACL Recovery at Feldman Physical Therapy & Performance is proud to be the only center in the Hudson Valley for ACL recovery. We have created a clear system to help you return to your normal activities after an injury.
Our one-on-one treatment ensures you spend a full hour with your therapist at every visit. You won’t work with aides or office staff. Each patient will have access to a personalized app with their exercises and home plan. This will also allow you to reach out to your therapist as needed between appointments.
Following rehab every patient is put through a rigorous return to play exam that will include:
- Range of Motion Testing
- Strength Testing
- Dynamic Movement Testing
- Jump Testing
- Running, Cutting, Change of Direction Testing
- Y-Balance Testing
- Dorsa Vi wearable sensor exam – this will help us ensure that both sides are functioning equally and allow us to measure any favoritism or lack of confidence in the surgical side.
Post Operative Care
Our unique one on one treatment approach will ensure that you spend a full hour with your therapist at each visit. You will never work with aids or office staff. Each patient will be given access to an individualized app based exercise portal where your unique exercises and home plan will be stored. The will also give you access to your therapist as needed between visits.

Return to Play Evaluations
Currently the best predictor of a future injury is a past injury, this means a few things, people are not getting back to full 100% pre injury status following an injury, and sometimes they are returning to their sport or activity too soon.
We take all the guesswork out of when to return to play with our precise Return To Play Evaluations. We use a mixture of movement quality exams, and digital wearable sensor technology to know everything that is going on.
Testing Includes:
- Range of Motion Testing
- Strength Testing
- Dynamic Movement Testing
- Jump Testing
- Running and Cutting Tests
- Y-Balance Testing
- Dorsa Vi sensor exam to check function and imbalances.
