CLEARED IS NOT THE SAME AS READY.

The muscle is not damaged; the signal to it is turned down.

It’s not that you lost your strength, or that you don’t have the strength you had before surgery. It’s that your brain is now protecting you from accessing it.
Evan Lewis, Founder & CEO

HEAR IT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE WORK.

Grady Jarrett
“More than the physical tools, it was also having somebody to talk through this injury with, someone who knows and deals with it a lot. It was almost like a therapy session, like a sports therapy. That was big for me.”

Grady JarrettNFL defensive tackle

“It's crazy, I feel 1000 times better after just that session. From when I started to now, the body just feels completely different.”

“This injury was never going to define me. But it did remind me.”

“Deciding to work with Evan ... has been one of the best decisions I made for my ACL rehab process. There is no doubt the work that we put in has been an enormous piece of how quickly I've been able to return to skating, not only at the level I was prior to surgery but now feeling stronger than ever.”

“Evan is the reason I played 5 years in the NFL after having 3 ACL reconstructions in college! 1 offseason with Evan and I came back faster & stronger than ever. Go see my man Ev.”

Michael MautiNew Orleans Saints Captain

“After ACL surgery in March 2022 and many traditional physical therapy sessions, my daughter was still experiencing pain. The pain caused setbacks with her recovery, until we worked with ... My daughter is back on the volleyball court and ready for the 2023 season. What an incredible experience. I wish we would have started earlier.”

TammyMother of Kamora, a high school volleyball player

Lina Miller
“I mean, it's how you want to live your life. You want to live your life being in pain and experimenting? Or, do you want to live your life addressing an issue and getting it solved.”

Lina Miller5x Ironman World Championship qualifier

“The mental piece of recovery was much harder than I expected, days blending together, isolation of being home, not working, loss of routine, the pain of post op recovery, etc. It’s no joke.”

“I had a complete tear of my ACL. I got with Evan and started prehab with him on their recovery device. Post surgery I used their device weekly and saw very quick results. It's an extremely effective program that had me back playing golf in 10 weeks and was measuring as if I was 6 months post surgery.”

Ingrid Neel
“...they're already in a place where they can't do it alone, you know, and they don't have to in this case...”

“Consistently blending compassion with catalysts to challenge my son's perceived limits, Evan cultivated confidence in my son's physical abilities and the belief that a full recovery was possible with the right attitude. Nine months after surgery, he is a normal college athlete...”

AndreasFather of Broccan, a college lacrosse player

“By the end of the first week, I had full bend back in my knee & was able to run and jump again. By the end of the 3rd week, it felt fully healed. I was able to start strengthening again.”

CameronHigh school football player

“My son tore his ACL playing lacrosse. Evan and ... have been amazing to work with. My son uses FaceTime to have virtual sessions with some of the most cutting edge technology in the country. He is 2.5 months post surgery and is well ahead of his recovery schedule...”

CurtisFather of Myles, a high school lacrosse player

“I'm so glad I looked up ... it was worth it, period. Because I have gone through it, it's made me a better martial arts teacher, a better trainer for older adults, and I'm a lot wiser than I was before. ... If they have a problem and really want to come back, I would give it 110%.”

BrockMartial arts teacher and personal trainer

“One year ago last week, I had my ACL surgery and would never have thought I’d be back skiing powder and bumps like I used to. It was truly a gift to be on the mountain with my son and daughter!”

FOUR TO EIGHT WEEKS. HE TOOK FOUR DAYS.

Evan started Elite ACL because he knows what it feels like to be injured, handed a number and told to wait. In 2012, at Penn State, his number was four to eight weeks. He was back on the field in four days.

Read how four days became Elite ACL

FAQs

LET’S CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.

Can I do this alongside my physical therapy?

Yes, absolutely. Our program is built to support and supplement your in-person PT. When the Elite program is combined with in-person PT, the clients cared for by Evan and the specialists he has trained report, on average, double the functional scores the research shows. At three months, they report scores not typically seen in the published research until around six months.*

Can I do this from home?

Absolutely. Sessions are one-on-one and virtual. Your ACL recovery specialist teaches you the setup, and tells you how to use the NS1 between sessions.
