Hi Luli, Thanks for your post! I’m a big skier too (2 torn ACL’s from skiing…). Have you seen my other blog posts on what I’ve been doing for rehab? There are a few under My Knee Surgery Journey. Swimming is great for ACL rehab. I have not incorporated it into my rehab as I am doing mostly biking and hiking. I actually just got in from my second single track mountain bike ride and I’m at week 7.5!
The Power Plate is just incredible. If there is a gym in your area that has Power Plate classes, I highly recommend getting in ASAP. It’ll speed up your rehab big time.
I went to physio twice a week until last week and now will go once a week for another month. Plus I go to the gym every day and do my leg exercises (strength and balance for proprioception).
