ACL Injuries and Recovery is COMPLEX

If you’ve suffered an ACL injury, you already know the road ahead is long. What you may not know is that most rehab plans are guessing. Studies show only 13% of clinicians actually test whether an athlete is ready to return to sport — most just go by the calendar. That’s a big reason why as many as 1 in 4 athletes who return to their sport after ACL surgery injure it again.

Most physical therapists aren’t equipped to close that gap. Not because they don’t care, but because building a real testing process — one that actually measures strength, movement, and readiness instead of just counting weeks — takes infrastructure most clinics don’t have.

Dr. Chakraborty has been through ACL reconstruction and rehab twice himself. He built Shiraj Physio to close that exact gap: a facility with the testing tools, the experience, and the process to know — not guess — when you’re truly ready.

Here, you don’t leave recovery to chance. You get a real rehab journey, backed by real data, built to get you back to what you love — with confidence, not fear.

The Harsh Truth: Not All PTs Are Equipped to Rehab an ACL Injury

Underloading and understressing during rehab is one of the biggest drivers of reinjury after ACL surgery — and most patients have no way to know if their PT is making that mistake. One landmark study found that athletes cleared by objective testing had a 4x lower reinjury rate than those cleared by the calendar alone. A quality rehab program understands the ACL healing timeline, applies progressive loading and training to actually build the ligament’s strength, and backs every stage with robust testing — and that combination is what leads to better return-to-play outcomes.

Clients will spend hours researching “the best ACL surgeon” but rarely do the same for their PT — even though the rehab process is one of the single biggest factors in whether that surgery actually holds up. Experience, testing infrastructure, and facility quality aren’t things you can judge from the outside, but they’re exactly what determines whether your rehab prepares you to truly return to sport.

At Shiraj Physio, we’ve made ourselves the go-to ACL rehab experts in Los Angeles by mastering exactly that: the causes, the recovery process, the testing protocols, and the equipment it takes to get you back to full strength — the depth most clinics simply don’t have.

what equipment and facilities are available at shiraj physio & performance?

Force Plate Testing
Force plate testing is a crucial piece of the rehab process, because there’s only so much we can see with our eye.

Force plates can help us use data driven assessments to see how much you are favoring one leg over the other. They help us to determine jump height, jump mechanics, jump kinetics.

We always do force play testing at four weeks and eight weeks, and there is a whole criteria we search for to determine if you’re ready to run.
3D Running Assessment
A 3D running assessment is used to watch your running form and running technique.

That in-depth look at running form and technique will allow us provide feedback to help you work on your running mechanics to make sure you’re minimizing stress that goes into your foot, knee, ankle, hip or back

We’ll also make sure that not only are you running to reduce your injury risk, but you’re running efficiently so that you’re building strength, endurance, and durability.

Movement, Strength, and Performance Tests
Before returning to your sport or activity, there are very specific movement tests, strength tests, and performance tests that are well studied and well documented to help determine if you’re truly ready to get back to your sport.

We’ll ensure you pass a pretty rigorous criteria of those tests before you’re clear to do anything.
