More than an injury.
Universities do a poor job of preparing physios and coaches to deal with the complex physical, psychological and social needs of a person experiencing an ACL tear. Not only that, but having the time to keep up with the latest research and advances in ACL rehab is a luxury few can afford.
Luckily (or unluckily), I’ve suffered through an ACL injury myself, which I was able to manage non-operatively. This gives me a level of insight and perspective that few physios and coaches are privileged enough to have. Over the past 6 years, I've also intentionally dedicated my time to training specifically in the ACL rehab space.
More than a body part.
Welcome to Beyond ACL–our solution to a broken system that treats you like a statistic while trying to pass off trashy, text-book bull**** as “rehab”.
Not unlike Athena creating a child by mingling her thoughts with those of her favoured mortal (I’m the favoured, Kumi’s Athena – obviously), Beyond ACL is our prized brainchild. Our aim is to make world-class ACL rehabilitation that treats you like a person, not a statistic, accessible to everyone.
Unfortunately, most readily accessible ACL rehab isn’t up to standard.
In our experience, ACL rehab often stops after you’ve received the standard scar tissue massage, e-stim and low-load band exercises on a sheet of paper. Rarely is a physio or coach skilled enough to help you problem-solve your way from day 1 post-surgery to D-Day, where you return to high performance sport again.
They do exist. They just might not live in your area.
Which is why we’re here.
"You are not an 'ACLer'—you're a person with an ACL tear. Yes, this can be a life-changing injury, but it does not define you."
Gone are the days where you are treated like a body part and defined by your injury. You are NOT an “ACLer”. You are a PERSON with an ACL tear. Yes, this can be a life-changing injury. But it does not define you.
Only you can choose what defines you.
Always remember, you are more than a body part. You are more than your injury.

Our Philosophy

INJURY
BEYOND
What makes us different?
-
Our athletes come first. Your program is tailored to your specific goals and we are 100% committed to helping you achieve them.
-
I am a qualified Physiotherapist + Strength and Conditioning Coach that engages constantly in ongoing professional development in the field of sport, exercise and pain.
-
My personal passion with sport (and the misery of being sidelined by an ACL tear) has fuelled my drive to help other athletes get beyond their injury.
-
I have first-hand experience with ACL injury and rehabilitation, meaning I'm acutely aware of the poor quality care that most athletes have access to—and what it really takes to get back in the game.

I didn’t expect the exercises to work to be honest. The explanation behind it seemed too easy – but that’s all it took.
Dawn B
The biggest thing for me were the weekly check-ins. I was held accountable every single week. It kept me motivated throughout the whole program. Roh was also always there to chat me through any crises. Which I very much appreciated.
Carolina S
He does so much more for you than you would think. He’s given me the confidence to put one foot in front of the other when things get bad. He’s always there to listen and help you through any problem you might have. Thank you, Ro.
Mark M
Roh’s attention to detail is second to none. He was the most thorough Physio I have ever worked with – and he’s great to chat to as well! I’d be mates with him in real life HA!

-
What are our qualifications?We are a team of fully qualified and AHPRA registered Physiotherapists & Strength & Conditioning Coaches (Australian Strength & Conditioning Association).
-
What experience do we have working with ACL tears?We have had the privilege of guiding athletes from multiple sports (soccer/football, windsurfing, snowboarding, netball, CrossFit, military personnel & rugby) over the last 4 years. We see ACL athletes weekly for rehabilitation, second opinions and primary diagnoses.
-
Do you have personal experience with ACL tears?Sadly, yes. I tore my ACL in my right knee in 2019. I was still studying physiotherapy at the time and decided to manage my injury non-surgically. Due to it being a rare, isolated ACL tear, I didn’t have too many problems with returning to sport. Sadly still, my ACL hasn’t healed properly since (due to poor management by me and my medical team at the time) and I still experience minor feelings of instability from time to time. I manage it very well though and it doesn’t stop me from playing soccer or being as active as I want to be. I do not fear my injury or let it define me.
-
What is your treatment philosophy?I believe in the human body’s ability to heal, adapt and become extremely resilient. My approach circulates around the understanding that all aspects of our life play a part in ensuring we become strong and resilient humans in the face of adversity – hence, not only do I focus on the biomechanics of movement, but also the perception of movement, the meaning behind it and your approach to it. Rather than using the word "holistic" which is now marred by mumbo-jumbo concepts, I like to say my approach is rounded and overlapping with all facets of your life.

How does Beyond ACL work?Beyond ACL offers 3 or 6-month programs to accelerate your ACL rehabilitation. The process is simple! To sign up, simply fill in a comprehensive injury history form. From there, you will have an initial consult, a few testing days, and then the program commences. Your program will include specific sets, reps, intensity, speeds and rest breaks tailored to your recovery process. All you need to do is show up and smash through it! Tests are conducted periodically to ensure you’re on track. Weekly check-ins and 16/7 text support are also offered to ensure you feel supported at each step and can get any questions answered quickly.
-
What equipment do I need for online rehabilitation?You will need access to gym equipment. If you weren’t a gym person before, you will need to become one now. You have between 3-8x your bodyweight going through your leg during running – we cannot prepare you for this without gradually building up to heavy weights! However, if you don’t have certain equipment, or simply dislike an exercise, our physiotherapists/coaches can suggest alternatives.
-
How do you ensure the exercises are done correctly without in-person supervision?Our physiotherapists/coaches will utilise slow-motion video analysis of your submitted form videos to provide in-depth feedback tailored to you. You can submit as many videos as you like at any point of time. Additionally, if you wish to have someone from our team provide real-time feedback, time to do so can be arranged – just ask!
-
Is online rehabilitation as effective as in-person sessions?Depends on the person & their situation. Most of the athletes we work with are self-sufficient in the gym and would like the level of constant support only online rehab can provide. Unlike in-person sessions, our sessions aren’t rushed, our exercises aren’t provided on a sheet of paper AND you can contact our physios/coaches at ANY time. No more waiting for your next session to ask a simple question! Get clarity ASAP. So, yes. Online rehab is as effective, if not MORE effective, than in-person sessions.
-
How do I get started with your online ACL rehabilitation program?Getting started is easy! Simply sign up on our website, fill out our comprehensive injury history form, and schedule an initial consultation with one of our physios/coaches. During the consultation, we’ll discuss you, your injury, your goals, and create your comeback blueprint. The rest is simple – show up, lean in on us, and get back to dominating your sport ASAP.

What Drives us
We’re here to challenge a broken system that treats you like a statistics while trying to pass off trashy textbook bull**** as rehab.
"More than a body part."
Just like Athena creating life with her favoured mortal (I’m the favoured, Kumi’s Athena – obviously), Beyond ACL is our brainchild.
We aim to make world-class ACL rehab, that treats you like a person, not a statistic, accessible to all.
"More than an injury."
Most accessible ACL rehab falls short.
Universities fail to prepare physios and coaches for the complex needs of ACL patients, and keeping up with the latest research is a luxury few can afford.
Rehab often stops at basic exercises, with few physios able to guide you from post-surgery to full recovery.
They exist, just not everywhere.
