Return from Injury · Return to Sport
PT heals the injury. We rebuild the athlete — the speed, strength, and confidence to compete again, with less risk of re-injury. ACL is our specialty, but we train comebacks from knee, ankle, shoulder and more.
Your surgeon and PT rebuild the joint, restore range of motion, and clear you for activity. That's where rehab ends.
We pick up where rehab leaves off: full strength, explosive power, real cutting and landing mechanics, and the confidence to trust the knee at game speed.
What We Help With
ACL recovery is our specialty — and the same criteria-based approach gets athletes back from the other injuries that keep them off the field.
ACL reconstruction, meniscus, and MCL. Rebuild strength symmetry, landing mechanics, and the confidence to cut at game speed.
Sprains and chronic instability — balance, strength, and reactive control to plant and change direction without hesitation.
Post-op or instability — rebuild overhead strength and stability for throwing, contact, and overhead sport.
Progressive loading and sprint mechanics to get back to top speed without re-tweaking it.
Restore strength and range for cutting, kicking, and explosive change of direction.
Once your surgeon clears you to train, we build a criteria-based path back to full competition.
How It Works
Every phase has a job and a gate. You move up when your knee earns it — not when enough weeks have passed.
Rebuild strength and control in the surgical leg until it matches the healthy side. Clean single-leg movement before we add speed or load.
Gate → side-to-side strength symmetry & pain-free controlProgressive strength and power. Reintroduce jumping and landing with proper mechanics, building force the knee can absorb safely.
Gate → controlled landings & matched hop distanceCutting, deceleration, and change of direction — then the same movements under fatigue and reaction, the way they happen in your sport.
Gate → confident cutting & decel under fatigueReturn-to-sport testing, then a graded build back into practice and competition — so the first hard cut isn't the first time the knee gets tested.
Gate → passes return-to-sport testingWe work alongside your surgeon and physical therapist — never in place of them. Revo is a performance training program, not a medical or rehab clinic. We start once you've been cleared to train.
Performance Meets Medicine
Revo's return-to-sport work is coordinated with physical therapy and sports-medicine professionals — the same people who build and run ACL rehab and return-to-play protocols.
Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The Sage Colleges, followed by an Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency through NYIT in partnership with Professional Physical Therapy. Tyler specializes in orthopedic and sports medicine — from non-operative care through post-surgical rehab — and has worked directly with an orthopedic surgeon developing rehabilitation protocols for ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair.
Director of the Division of Sports Medicine at St. Charles Hospital and former assistant team orthopedist for the NY Jets and NY Islanders. Specializes in knee, shoulder, and hip injuries.
Fellowship-trained at the UHZ Miami Orthopedic Sports Institute (Miami Heat, Dolphins, Panthers), with an orthopedic surgery residency at Stony Brook. Focuses on sports injuries of the knee and shoulder, including advanced kneecap repair.
Revo's on-site PT partner, focused on exactly the gap this program lives in: bridging injury rehab and return-to-sport, with return-to-play protocols coordinated directly with the training staff.
Not always fully done — but you do need to be cleared by your surgeon or PT to begin performance training. Many athletes overlap the tail end of rehab with early return-to-sport work. We'll find the right starting point at your free evaluation.
It depends on you. Progression is based on what your knee can do, not a fixed number of weeks, so the honest answer is it varies by athlete, sport, and where you're starting. We'll give you a realistic picture after the first evaluation.
Yes. We stay in your medical team's lane and pick up where they leave off. We don't override anyone's clearance or medical guidance.
Any cutting, jumping, or contact sport that loads the knee hard — lacrosse, football, soccer, basketball, baseball, track, and more. The movements we train are tailored to your sport's demands.
Get Started
Every athlete starts with an evaluation — we assess strength, movement, and where you are in your recovery, then build the right plan. No commitment, no pressure.
