Why it worked
The video effectively uses a clear visual comparison to illustrate a common and critical mistake in ACL rehabilitation, providing immediate value and actionable advice to a relevant audience.
Summary
The video demonstrates the correct and incorrect ways to perform landing exercises for ACL rehabilitation. It highlights that the most common mistake is absorbing impact primarily through the ankle, rather than a coordinated effort of the hip, knee, and ankle.
Structure
- 1Introduction to the common mistake in ACL rehab landing exercises.
- 2Explanation of why this mistake occurs (brain protecting the knee).
- 3Demonstration of the effective method (balanced absorption).
- 4Demonstration of the ineffective method (ankle-dominant absorption).
- 5Concluding statement about the knee being unprotected in the ineffective method.

THIS IS EFFECTIVE
THIS IS NOT
The biggest mistake I see with your ACL exercises
Transcript
Most people doing landing exercises in ACL rehab are absorbing with the wrong joint… and have no idea. Firstly, why does this happen? Since the moment you got injured, your brain has been protecting your knee But at some point, you have to rebuild the trust to actually use that knee again The left side of the video (more effective) shows good absorption - through the hip, knee, and ankle all working together. The right side (less effective) is mostly absorbing through the ankle. The knee is bare

Most people doing landing exercises in ACL rehab are absorbing with the wrong joint… and have no idea. Firstly, why does this happen? Since the moment you got injured, your brain has been protecting your knee But at some point, you have to rebuild the trust to actually use that knee again The left side of the video (more effective) shows good absorption - through the hip, knee, and ankle all working together. The right side (less effective) is mostly absorbing through the ankle. The knee is barely involved. So here's the small change we made with our client. Instead of holding the ball up by his chest, we had him hold it lower, closer to his hips. That small shift drops his center of gravity and forces the landing to come from the knee. Now his quads and knee are doing the work… instead of staying upright and dumping everything into the ankle. One cue can completely change how you are landing. Because learning to land and controlling force is a non-negotiable before you earn the right to jump and run fast This is part of the PRIME phase of our 3-step process. → Comment "3STEP" and I'll send you the free video training that breaks down the whole 3-step process I've used that’s helped over 200 ACLers get back to running and sports
