Why Athletes Recovering from ACL or Meniscus Surgery Choose Accelerate Sport & Spine

If you’re an athlete facing post-operative knee rehab, especially after ACL reconstruction or meniscus repair, your choice of rehabilitation clinic matters just as much as your surgeon. At Accelerate Sport & Spine Rehab in New Braunfels, TX, we live and breathe rehab, physical therapy, and athletic recovery. Here’s why we’re the best place to get back in the game stronger than ever.

 

We understand the athlete’s mindset
From youth competitors to collegiate and elite performers, our team understands what it means to train, compete, push limits, and face setbacks. Dr. Jonas has treated thousands of injuries and built a model around athletic recovery. Dr. Watts is a former Division I athlete who underwent three ACL reconstructions herself, so she knows surgery, rehab, and the mental grind firsthand.
Because of this unique background, our rehabilitation and physical therapy programs don’t just fix the knee—they rebuild the athlete. Every session integrates the right mindset, sport-specific demands, and long-term performance goals.

Specialized, targeted rehab for ACL and meniscus recovery

After an ACL or meniscus surgery, you need more than general physical therapy. You need rehab that is:

  • Specialized for post-operative knee conditions (ACL, meniscus)
  • Designed with strength, stability, agility, and sport return in mind
  • Delivered by providers who understand the nuances of athlete recovery

At Accelerate, we focus on exercise-based rehab, load progression, movement quality, and restoring athletic capacity—not just basic mobility. Rehabilitation here means returning to your pre-injury level and often beyond it.

Proven reputation with elite performers

Our team has a track record of working with high-level athletes who demand more than just rehab. This reputation matters when you’re recovering from a major knee surgery and want to return to competition without compromise. We’ve earned that trust through results, athlete-centered care, and measurable performance outcomes.

Custom-built rehab journey, not cookie-cutter

Your surgery, sport, position, and timeline are unique—and we treat them that way. Our process includes:

  • Discover: We dig into your injury history, surgical details, sport demands, and goals.
  • Align: We craft a targeted rehab plan that integrates knee rehab, meniscus rehab, ACL rehab, strength, and agility.
  • Accelerate: We implement sport-specific physical therapy, progressive load, return-to-play strategies, and performance preparation.

That means the physical therapy you’ll get is truly personalized—no generic drills, no one-size-fits-all approach.

We go beyond recovery: performance and prevention.

While many clinics stop when pain goes away or when you can walk without aid, we push further. Our philosophy is simple: rehab isn’t done until you’re back at your sport confident, powerful, and protected against re-injury. Comprehensive recovery leads to improved performance, greater body awareness, and long-term resilience.
When you choose us for your ACL or meniscus rehab, you’re not just healing—you’re building a stronger foundation for your future performance.
