Optimum Physiotherapy Innishannon

These images highlight real, measurable results from two patients 12 months post ACL reconstruction, showcasing the impact of structured, individualised rehab delivered at our clinic. Using gold standard isokinetic dynamometry testing, we compared pre rehab and post rehab strength in both knee extension and knee flexion, giving a clear picture of quadriceps and hamstring function across a full range of motion.

In both cases, initial testing showed clear imbalances between the left and right leg, with significant strength deficits, particularly in the hamstrings, and asymmetry levels exceeding return to play standards. This meant neither athlete was physically ready to safely return to sport and both were at increased risk of re injury. One of these patients had previously completed rehab but was not achieving the results needed, highlighting that not all rehab is equal and that simply going through the process does not guarantee the right outcome.

Following structured, progressive rehabilitation at our clinic, led by our Athletic Therapist James, both patients made significant improvements. Post rehab testing showed reduced asymmetry across all key measures, with most values now within acceptable return to play criteria and many showing strong symmetry between limbs. Peak strength and control at specific joint angles improved across the board, demonstrating not just recovery, but high level strength restoration and movement quality. Both patients also progressed from below average into normal ranges when compared to normative data, reinforcing the effectiveness of the programme.

One patient has now successfully returned to sport with confidence, while the other is in the final stages of return to play rehabilitation and close to getting back. At our clinic, we prioritise objective testing, expert guidance, and measurable outcomes to ensure every patient is not just pain free, but stronger, safer, and fully prepared for their return to performance.

Most injuries don’t just happen overnight… they build up over time through poor movement, imbalance, and lack of control.

Pilates helps you slow things down and focus on how your body actually moves. It builds strength where you need it most and improves the way your muscles work together.

That is what keeps you injury free.

With regular Pilates you can
💪 Build balanced strength
💪 Improve control and coordination
💪 Increase body awareness
💪 Support better movement patterns
💪 Reduce your risk of injury

It is not about pushing harder… it is about moving smarter.

If you want to stay active, pain free, and performing at your best, this is where it starts.

We are here to help you get there 💙

We often wait until something hurts before we start to move… but movement is actually where healing begins.

Your body is designed to move, adapt, and grow stronger when you give it the right stimulus. Whether you are recovering from an injury, dealing with aches and pains, or just trying to feel better in yourself, movement is one of the most powerful tools you have.

Regular movement can
💪 Reduce pain
💪 Improve strength and mobility
💪 Boost energy levels
💪 Support mental well-being
💪 Help prevent future injuries

You don’t have to start big. Small, consistent steps make the biggest difference over time.

If you are not sure where to start, that’s where we come in. We are here to guide you safely and help you build strength and confidence in your body again.

Your body will thank you for it 💙
