Inside look at ACL Physical Therapy at APEX PWR
Each Patient Gets 1-on-1 ACL Rehab Unique to Them
Our approach
How we approach ACL Rehab
- Restoring range of motionÂ
- Improving quad strength & power
- Landing, cutting & change of direction to test ACL rehab
- Individualized strengthening program
- Stretching & mobility program based on evaluation
- Progressive endurance training needed for work and/or recreational activities
- Manual Therapy
- Electrical Stimulation to enhance quad activity
- Return to sport or athletic progressions
Restore Range of Motion
Rebuild full, pain-free motion in the knee as the foundation for everything that follows.
Quad Strength & Power
Restore quadriceps and hamstring strength toward pre-injury levels, the engine of a stable knee.
Landing, Cutting & Change of Direction
Progress to the reactive, sport-specific movements that decide true return-to-sport readiness.
Individualized Strength Program
A plan built from your evaluation and your goals, not a generic handout.
Manual Therapy & E-Stim
Hands-on treatment and electrical stimulation to enhance quad activation and recovery.
Return to Sport & Activity
Progressions that bridge the gap from discharge to a confident, capable return.
Data-driven recovery
Testing & Technology That Guide ACL Recovery
Instead of guessing when it is safe to jog, jump, or cut, we use objective data to guide your timeline, so you return stronger and safer.
Force Plates
VALD force-plate testing reveals how each leg produces and absorbs force, exposing the side-to-side asymmetry the eye can't see.
Blood Flow Restriction
BFR therapy rebuilds quad strength with low-intensity exercise, valuable in early rehab when heavy loading isn't possible yet.
Return-to-Sport Testing
We map your return to objective milestones, using the same kinds of norms college programs use, not just a date on the calendar.
The APEX PWR difference
Return-to-Sport & Return-to-Activity Training
ACL recovery ends with sprinting, cutting, jumping, and change of direction, and that takes real space and equipment, not a strip mall or the back corner of a gym. Our physical therapists take you through return-to-sport and return-to-activity training in our 10,000 sq ft facility.
A Facility Built for the Full Journey
From your first post-op appointment to your last return-to-sport session, one team carries you the whole way, on the testing, turf, and equipment usually reserved for pro and college programs. That is what separates a real return-to-sport facility from basic physical therapy.

Non-surgical ACL care
Avoiding Surgery When We Can
It is our belief that we should do all we can before ever getting surgery. While there is obvious instances in which surgery is required, we strive to provide excellent physical therapy with the hopes to minimize risk of re-injury, and helping to avoid future surgical intervention.
Physical therapy can help to avoid surgery. It strengthens ligaments, tendons and muscles, which are key in protecting the body. PT is also a cost-effective approach as opposed to a costly surgery. We are confident we help reduce risk of future injury & surgical intervention by educating you during your time with us. Knowledge that you can take with you for years to come.
If our experienced physical therapists do not see progress with your injury, they will refer you to our trusted physicians and work with you pre and post op for the best outcome.

Why athletes choose us
10 Reasons to choose APEX PWR
as your Partner In Physical Therapy
Measure the muscle you’re rebuilding
DEXA Scan: Body Composition & Bone Density
After lower-limb surgery, muscle atrophy is a real factor. The DEXA scan is the gold standard for body composition, and we use it to track muscle mass in your surgical leg compared to the other, so you can see the muscle you are rebuilding through ACL rehab, quantified.
Paired with force-plate data and, when needed, blood flow restriction work, DEXA lets us minimize and even reverse atrophy through recovery. The same scan also measures bone density when that matters for your health.
Fuel the comeback
Nutrition Coaching for ACL Recovery
Tissue healing and muscle rebuilding are fueled by what you eat. Our nutrition coaching works alongside your ACL rehab to support recovery, manage body composition, and give you the best possible return to sport or activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance for ACL rehab in Portland?
Yes. APEX PWR is in-network with most major health insurance providers, and we offer self-pay packages for those who prefer care without insurance limitations. We serve ACL rehab patients across Tigard, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, and the greater Portland metro.
How long does ACL rehab take?
Recovery from an ACL reconstruction can take longer than a year, with full sport-specific readiness commonly around 9 to 12 months or more. Return-to-sport is decided by restored strength, movement quality, and objective testing, not the calendar alone.
Can physical therapy help me avoid ACL surgery?
In some cases, yes. We believe in doing all we can before surgery. Physical therapy strengthens the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that protect the knee and can reduce re-injury risk. If our physical therapists do not see progress, they refer you to trusted physicians and work with you pre and post-op.
What makes ACL rehab at APEX PWR different?
We combine 5-star sports physical therapy, force-plate and DEXA testing, nutrition coaching, and a 10,000 sq ft facility for real return-to-sport and return-to-activity training, all under one roof in Tigard. One team takes you from your first post-op visit through your return to sport or activity.
