Aclrehabonline Reviews 9

I worked with Ben over a period of around 12 months, beginning shortly after ACL surgery.
He was so supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. He listened to my fears and put up with my tears, and he got me through.

I thought that I could work out my own rehab, I’ve exercised and used gyms for most of my life, but I was so wrong. This injury is tough, and you NEED specialist input. The physio input provided by the NHS is nowhere near good enough for what ACL rehab requires.

Ben provided me with specific exercises for each stage that I was at. He pushed me just the right amount, making me stronger than I ever thought I would be. I felt like he genuinely cared and was happy to see me reach my goals.

I’m now back to enjoying netball and feeling confident in my knee. Although I’m focusing on umpiring rather than playing at the moment, that is a choice, and not because my knee isn’t up to it, it is. And I feel strongly enough about it that I know I can get back in the sea for some surfing in the summer, and on the snow for some skiing next winter, things I initially thought I would have to concede I might never do again.

Thanks so much to Ben, and I’m really happy to see him developing his team.

I first found Ben on instagram and started to read and take notice of his services. I knew immeditely he was someone I wanted to work with, his knowledge and detail showed from the first time we spoke.

Before I started to work with Ben, I was 16 weeks post op and started to struggle with how much I could and couldn't do. I needed someone to test/push me everyday and give me a program that would allow me to return to sport fitter and stronger.

Ben is very knowledgable and excellent at what he does. He provided me with a program that progressed each session and tested me throughout. Although the program tests you both mentally and physically, it is an absolute must for any ACL injury if you would like to return to high level sport. Ben was consistently improving my program and putting me through vigorous testing. Ben was always available for calls/messages to answer any questions and concerns.
Working with Ben is as close to elite level rehab as you'll get as an amateur athlete. I would highly recommend and if you're prepared to put the work in you'll return a lot stronger.

Ben is a very knowledgeable physio he listened to my story & recommended a course of action. Exercises were set using an app which was super helpful we had regular check ins via zoom & Ben checked that I was completing the exercises correctly & that I was making progress. I can’t recommend Ben enough & I am looking forward to seeing how far I can go 😀

Ben has been so helpful and encouraging ever since we first made contact. He put me at ease about the surgery itself, regularly updates my programme tailored to my own specific progress and responds quickly to any questions or queries I might have. He shares his expertise and advice in clear layman’s terms and has restored my confidence in my knees as we move towards a return to sport.

I got in touch with Ben due to months of regular pain in my right knee after a football injury.

After going through some movements to diagnose the issue, Ben provided a clear plan on how to recover. I’d looked online for advice with this condition previously. Most of the information promoted rest and bracing the knee during exercise. Living quite an active lifestyle, having to ice & rest my knee after exercising was not something I was happy to accept long-term.

Ben sent over a range of exercises that targeted strength and stabilization of the knee that I could progress with as I felt more comfortable.

The initial training was difficult, having the confidence to push through pain barriers that I wouldn’t have had pre-diagnosis was paramount in progressing with the rehabilitation.

After 6-8 weeks I moved onto slightly more complex exercises & increased the weight involved.

I’ve now got to a stage where I experience little to no pain or discomfort after exercise. I manage the knee with 2 training sessions each week to maintain strength & stabilization.

Ben’s help through each stage has been key to successfully improving my fitness & well-being. I’d highly recommend getting in touch if you have any issues, address the problem don’t live with it!

When I first spoke to Ben in early April I'd been suffering from a torn ACL and miniscus since the end of October, what little rehab I'd already had hadn't helped and I knew I had an even longer wait for an op as all my appointments had been postponed due to Covid. I was suffering from a decent amount of muscle atrophy, I was still using a stick to walk and my knee still felt very vulnerable with little to no flexion ability. Basically not in a great place, physically and mentally.

Now after three months of daily exercises, regular check-ins and bi-monthly hour long zoom sessions, I have equal flexion ability with my other knee, have massively increased the muscle mass in the affected knee and my walking feels back to normal, all giving me a huge degree of confidence back that I was severely lacking before signing up with Ben.

On top of the effective and manageable rehab program, Ben's non-judgemental and supportive attitude really puts you at ease and makes you feel progress is really possible. Only thing I regret is not signing up sooner.

Following chronic knee pain and fatigue from many years of competitive Basketball, having recently left the sport due to the complications with my knees Ben kindly assessed and explained the process to rehabilitation.

Following this Ben provided a great rehabilitation plan, I used this online the interface was easy to follow and there were plenty of videos to explain certain exercises, making the process much smoother.

Having followed this plan with lots of advice and guidance from Ben my knee pain 6 months later is non-existent and I am preparing to return to competitive sport once again.

I could not recommend Ben enough, his knowledge and positive approach to rehabilitation have made all the difference for myself and my knees have never felt stronger.

Following ACL surgery and meniscus root repair Dec 19, I was struggling to make progress with 1 NHS physio session a month (and them just giving me a peice of paper with exercises) Then Coronavirus hit and all physio was cancelled in March 20 for the foreseeable future.
I was stuck on my own, with no clue where to start, getting confused with conflicting advice online, in pain daily, unable to do many daily tasks.
I came across Ben and wondered whether a rehab coach might be a little excessive - I am not an athlete! And truly wondered how it would work remotely/online... I can honestly say it's been the best decision I have made! Ben is so knowlegeable and helpful, the plan is completely tailored to me, my knee, my life, my fitness levels and strength.
The app works well, Ben is always on hand for guidance. I realise now that you absolutely do not need to see a physio in person - What is more beneficial, is a plan specific to you and your own goals and someone who has the knowledge and that plan in order to help you acheieve those goals.
The progress I have made in around 6 weeks is remarkable. No longer in daily pain and knee strength and movement is improving daily! Thanks so much Ben. Highly recommend

Ben has been a fantastic coach, his plan has been clear and he has worked with me to tailor the exercises to my abilities and needs.
Very happy with the online check in and feedback system he uses which has helped to reassure me that I am doing my exercises correctly and track my improvements. After my first month with Ben I have gained so much confidence in my knee and couldn't be happier with my progress
