Goals and milestones

Recovering from an ACL rupture can take a long time and it’s easy to lose track of the progress you’re making when your ultimate goals still feel a long way off.

Milestones

There are common important milestones along the recovery journey. Many of these you can identify yourself, others will need you to work with your physio to test.’

Goals

Goals provide a purpose to work toward and a way of measuring success.

Tē tōia, tē haumatia.

Nothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce and way of doing things.

Goals are important to:

• Make sure you and your rehab team are working towards the same things
• Provide direction and focus
• Maintain motivation 
• Enable measurement and celebration of progress and success

Your physio will work with you to set goals that are important to you.
