YOUR KNEE
DESERVES
BETTER THAN
GUESSWORK

ACL recovery is long. It's demanding. And most rehab programs aren't built for athletes who need to return to sport at full capacity. At The Running Room, we combine Vald force plate testing, Zebris instrumented treadmill analysis, and elite-level clinical expertise to build a return-to-run and return-to-sport protocol around your specific demands — not just "daily life."

Why runners come to us for ACL rehab

SOUND
FAMILIAR?

01

FEAR OF RE-INJURY

Your surgeon cleared you. But every change of direction, every downhill, every uneven surface sends a jolt of doubt through your knee. Confidence is shot.

02

NO CLEAR RETURN-TO-SPORT PLAN

You've been told to "ease back into it" — but no one has mapped out when, how much, or what milestones you need to hit before returning to running or your sport.

03

REHAB THAT WASN'T BUILT FOR ATHLETES

Standard ACL rehab gets you walking. Maybe jogging. But it doesn't prepare you for the demands of real sport — cutting, sprinting, loading, change of direction, or running distance.

04

MONTHS IN, STILL NOT BACK

You've done the time. You've done the exercises. But without elite-level objective testing and sport-specific progression, you're stuck in limbo — nowhere near the field or the road.

Your ACL Initial Appointment

EVERYTHING
IN ONE
SESSION

Your first session is a comprehensive ACL assessment using the same elite-level technology trusted by professional athletes. We dig into your surgical history, your rehab to date, and where the gaps are — then we test with Vald force plates, treat hands-on, and build your return-to-sport plan. All in one 45-minute appointment.

01
FULL ACL & TRAINING HISTORY
Surgery details, rehab timeline, current symptoms, running goals. We map the full picture before we touch your knee.
02
VALD FORCE PLATE STRENGTH TESTING
The same elite-level technology used by professional sports teams worldwide. Objective, data-driven assessment of your quad and hamstring strength — measuring the limb symmetry index that determines when you're truly ready to return to sport.
03
HANDS-ON TREATMENT
This isn't just a chat. We start treatment in your first session — addressing range of motion, tissue quality, and joint mobility.
04
RETURN-TO-RUN & RETURN-TO-SPORT PROTOCOL
A structured program with clear milestones, strength benchmarks, and objective criteria for getting you back to running and your sport — not arbitrary timelines or guesswork.
05
YOUR CLEAR PLAN FORWARD
You'll leave knowing exactly where you are, what's holding you back, and the precise steps to get you back on the road, the field, or the court — with confidence.

From our founder

ALEX
BELL

I founded The Running Room because I kept seeing runners get the wrong answer — rest and see how it goes. That's not good enough when running is part of who you are.

Over the past decade we've built The Running Room into a running-specific physio and performance facility across Sydney, Melbourne, and London. We've treated over 20,000 runners — from first-timers to elite athletes.

→ Nedd Brockmann's treating physio — both runs across Australia and the Thousand Mile Run
→ 5 clinic locations — Sydney, Melbourne & London
→ Zebris instrumented treadmill + Vald force plate testing
→ 20,000+ runners treated over 10+ years

RETURN
TO SPORT.
