ACL Physical Therapy in Gaithersburg, MD
Rebuild strength, regain confidence, and return to your sport stronger than before with one-on-one doctoral care designed for athletes who refuse to settle for "good enough."
-
Rushed, Generic Rehab
Most insurance-based PT clinics see multiple patients at once, giving you just 10-15 minutes of attention per session—not nearly enough to rebuild your body the right way.
-
Fear of Re-Injury
Without proper progressive loading and sport-specific training, you're left guessing whether your knee is truly ready to handle the demands of your sport.
-
Stalled Progress
Cookie-cutter exercise programs keep you stuck in the same routine week after week, leaving you weaker and less confident than you should be at this stage.
ACL Rehab Built for Athletes Who Want to Come Back Stronger
At Elevated Strength Rehab, we don't just help you recover from an ACL injury—we help you become more resilient, more powerful, and more prepared for the demands of your sport.

You get a full hour of one-on-one doctoral care with a physical therapist who knows exactly what it takes to get athletes back in the game.

Evidence-based ACL rehab using the 4 R's: Re-set, Re-learn, Re-load, Re-engage
"Jonathan is an amazing physical therapist! He's been great with my lacrosse ACL rehab. After only a few weeks I saw significant improvement. He pays great attention to all of my aches and keeping me on the right progression track. He's helped my knee get so much better and now I'm back to a full recovery where I'm much stronger than before."

How ACL Rehab Works at Elevated Strength Rehab
-
Re-set & Re-learn
We start with a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation to assess your movement patterns, identify compensations, and create a personalized plan. Manual therapy and corrective techniques help reset your body's protective patterns so you can move with confidence.
-
Re-load Your Strength
This is the most important phase. We progressively challenge your body with strength training, building the capacity, endurance, and resilience your knee needs to handle the forces of cutting, jumping, and pivoting.
-
Re-engage in Your Sport
Once you've built a solid foundation, we integrate sport-specific movements in our fully equipped facility—turf sprints, agility drills, and plyometrics—so you return to the field ready to compete.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
ACL rehab timelines vary depending on whether you had surgery, your activity level, and your goals. Most athletes spend 6-9 months in structured rehab before returning to full sport participation. At Elevated Strength Rehab, we focus on quality over speed—making sure your knee is truly ready to handle the demands of cutting, jumping, and pivoting before you return to competition. We use return-to-sport testing to objectively measure your progress and ensure you're ready.
-
Elevated Strength Rehab is a cash-based practice, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, many of our clients use HSA or FSA funds to cover their sessions, and we can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Our cash-based model allows us to offer full 60-minute, one-on-one sessions without the limitations and rushed timelines of insurance-driven PT. Most insurance-based clinics require 2-3 visits per week at $100-150 per copay, while we typically see clients 1-2 times per week with higher-quality care, often resulting in faster recovery and lower total cost.
-
Unlike traditional PT clinics that see multiple patients at once and provide cookie-cutter exercise programs, Elevated Strength Rehab offers one-on-one doctoral care for the full hour. Every session is personalized to your injury, your sport, and your goals. We use the 4 R's methodology—Re-set, Re-learn, Re-load, Re-engage—to ensure you progress through each phase of rehab safely and effectively. Our state-of-the-art facility includes turf, squat racks, and sport-specific equipment so you can practice the movements you'll need on the field, not just basic exercises.
