Specialist Lower Kinetic Chain Rehabilitation in Ashford
The knee and ankle absorb tremendous forces during running, cutting, and jumping. When an ACL tears or a severe ankle sprain occurs, the loss of joint stability can be catastrophic for an athlete. At Physio One Kent, our lower limb specialists manage acute and post-surgical recovery with objective, criteria-based protocols.
From early swelling reduction and joint range recovery to advanced hop tests and agility reconditioning, we guide you back to full athletic confidence.

Phase 3
Triple hop test symmetry (>90% compared to uninjured leg) and reactive agility testing before full match play.
