Soccer ACL Rehab That Actually Prepares You for the Field
Not Just Clearance
For high school & college soccer players returning from ACL surgery who want to move confidently, cut at full speed, and play without hesitation.
It’s not about when you return.
It’s about how you return.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Most ACL Rehab Stops Too Early. Ours Doesn’t.
If you’re a soccer parent and this sounds familiar:
- “She looks strong, but she doesn’t move the same.”
- “She’s cleared… but I don’t think she’s ready.”
- “I’m worried about another tear.”
- “Her coach wants her back, but I’m nervous.”
You’re not overthinking it.
Most soccer ACL problems happen after rehab ends — when athletes are rushed back based on time, not readiness.
THE SOCCER-SPECIFIC PROBLEM
Soccer Isn’t Rehab — and It Isn’t Linear
Soccer demands:
- High-speed sprinting
- Repeated cutting and deceleration
- Ball-driven movement
- Fatigue-based decision making
Yet most ACL rehab:
- Stops before those demands are trained
- Separates rehab from the field
- Clears athletes without testing soccer-specific readiness
That gap is where setbacks, fear, and second injuries happen.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
The Only Soccer-Specific ACL Return-to-Play System in Michigan
That Integrates Rehab + Strength + Field Work From Start to Finish
At Primal Recovery PT & Performance, we run a complete soccer ACL return-to-play system built specifically for cutting athletes.
We are:
- The only physical therapy company in Michigan recognized as a US Soccer–Preferred Provider
- Partnered with Next Level Training to integrate technical soccer training directly into the rehab process
This is not rehab then training.
It’s one collaborative system.

WHY SOCCER FAMILIES CHOOSE THIS PROGRAM
The biggest reason soccer families choose this program is integration.
Through the close collaboration between Primal Recovery and Next Level Training, athletes are not forced to separate rehab from soccer — or guess when it’s safe to return to the field.
Instead, they’re guided by a collaborative team that truly understands the demands of soccer, including:
- Sprinting and repeated high-speed efforts
- Cutting and deceleration under fatigue
- Ball-driven movement and decision-making
- Game-speed unpredictability
Rehab, strength & power training, and on-field soccer work are developed together, with ongoing communication between professionals — so progression is intentional, not rushed.
For families, this means:
- Clearer decisions
- Better preparation
- Fewer gaps between rehab and return to play
