Back to Pro Soccer
Just wrapped up a month working with a pro soccer player who was 10 months out from ACL surgery.
He was technically “cleared,” but squatting hurt. Poliquin step ups lit up his knee. Confidence just was not there.
Big thing we found?
His patellar mobility was terrible. Infrapatellar fat pad, medial and lateral fat pad, suprapatellar pouch all stiff and irritated. The knee just was not gliding well.
We spent time cleaning that up with targeted manual work and restoring real motion.
Once the patella moved better, everything changed.Less pain. Better squats. Stronger quad loading. Way more confidence.
And now he is back with the first team this weekend.
He has been out for over a year, so I am fired up to see him back on the field doing what he loves.
One of the best parts of this job is seeing the joy on our athletes’ faces when their bodies are no longer holding them back.
