Yoga for Knee Surgery Recovery

Improve your range of motion, increase your strength, and feel more confident post-surgery with a 2-month yoga progression plan.

Recovering from Knee Surgery is a Journey - and I'm Here to Help!

Seriously injuring your knee can seem like the end of the world, and recovering from surgery can feel daunting and overwhelming. How can you improve your range of motion? Will your knee ever feel "normal" again?
That's where I come in.
Recovery doesn't have to be confusing, scary, or hard. When you start on the path to recover post-surgery, there are a lot of unknowns. I know, because I've been there. As an avid runner and workout fanatic, tearing my ACL & meniscus was devastating for me. The uncertainty of recovery was scary.
But it doesn't have to be for you.
By taking small steps and using yoga as a way to build confidence and strength, your recovery can and WILL be successful!

Testimonials

"I am 7 months ACL recon/minor meniscus tear post-op and I have been using your yoga videos since my 4th month. My surgeon kept me from PT until 6 weeks post-op, and your videos helped me catch up. Thank you so much and I really am so glad I was able to find your videos! They really have been integral to my recovery."

"I’m not a sports person so I was worried that I would struggle with recovery and rehabilitation. I followed all the recommendation of my doctor and I worked with a good physiotherapist but I also came across your ACL Recovery Guide and I purchased your course. I followed it diligently together with all my other physio exercises. [5.5 months post-op], I had a diagnostic test to check if I’m on track towards a full recovery and when I went to my doctor to discuss the results, he couldn’t believe his own eyes. I was not only on track, but it seemed to him that I was for all intents and purposes already recovered… My doctor (who’s been following ACL patients for 30 years) said that he NEVER saw such a quick recovery in a person who’s not a professional athlete."

Frequently Asked Questions

This course was created with everyone in mind! For anyone who has never done yoga, to advanced yogi’s. The videos in the month 3 start out slow, and many modifications are provided.

You will learn new yoga postures as you progress in the course and your recovery! If the classes start to become too challenging, you can stick with the classes earlier on in the course until you feel more comfortable in the postures and movements.

By the end of the course, you will feel stronger, more flexible, and more balanced than before!

Each video is anywhere from 10-40 minutes – the average being 15-20 minutes. I recommend doing 1-2 classes a week, depending on your current physical therapy schedule.

The entire course itself is 2+ months, depending on how quickly you progress.

While I’d love to be able to guarantee progress, your progress ultimately comes down to a variety of factors: how committed you are to physical therapy, what your level of fitness was before your surgery, the type of ACL tissue replacement, your diet, lifestyle, and much more. Every person’s progress is different.

I recommend staying with the videos that you are comfortable with until they become easier, then progress to the next as you become stronger and increase your range of motion.

Please consult with your surgeon and/or physical therapist if you are experiencing any pain or plateaus.

NO. This course was created as a supplement to your recovery. I am not a medical professional, and cannot diagnose or provide any medical advice. Please consult with your surgeon and physical therapist BEFORE embarking on this course.

YES! If you aren’t a part of the ACL club, but have had some type of knee surgery OR plainly just have knee issues, this course is still an excellent option to strengthen all of the muscles surrounding the knees.

With that being said, please consult with your surgeon and/or physical therapist before participating in this course.

Stick with your physical therapy exercises, and start adding some additional workouts on non-PT days. If you need help deciding which exercises to do, this course includes a PDF of my ACL Guide, which includes additional exercises to do every week on non-physical therapy days.

**As always, please check with your PT & Surgeon before adding anything to your recovery regimen!

Shoot me an email! I’d love to answer any questions you may have.

Have a Stronger, Faster Recovery.
