ACL Rehab exercise ideas
Message from Sasha Corbin - England Rose mid-courter
Unfortunately I missed out on the 2016 Netball Superleague season due to sustaining an ACL, lcl & meniscus injury to the right knee. I know it can be extremely hard to bounce back, find positivity and keep up with the boring rehab exercises after a huge injury like this. I know for a fact this is going to be a long rehab process and can take up to a year to get back. I just wanted to show you guys my rehab journey back to full fitness. I'm extremely limited in this video as I am only 7 weeks post operation, still on crutches and living in a huge knee brace.
The exercises I am showing you are extremely challenging for me at this point and its something I have to work on every day in order to get my knee functioning normally again just to walk.
I hope that you enjoy this journey back to full fitness with me, I'm ultra determined to come back even stronger than I was before. It will require a lot of patience but I'm ready.
If you have recently had a major surgery from an injury, stay strong & positive throughout your recovery. I know it can be hard, but even in your darkest days, just know every day you will get stronger. Try to do other things you love to do that keeps you motivated or find a project that will inspire you and shape you into a better you.
If you are injured i'd love to hear from you,
Good luck :)

#SoloSessions with Sash & Lindsay: My ACL Rehab (2)
Published on May 19, 2016
In this weeks episode of Solo Sessions, Lindsay Keable and I take you through a series of simple partner balance exercises to help keep your core & leg strong.
Hold each exercise for at least 30 seconds - 1 minute.
I was still unable to use my repaired ACL side at this point, so we found ways of still using the good leg.
#SoloSessions with Sash: My ACL Rehab (3) - Boxing | Ropes | Medicine Ball
Published on Jun 2, 2016
In this weeks Solo Session we look at non-impact ways of working your lungs. With the help of my strength and conditioning coach, boxing gloves, ropes & a medicine ball, here are a few exercises I've been doing to help me keep my heart rate up. I was able to start doing this from 2 weeks post my operation. After my operation I was unable to put weight through my knee for a month which meant we had to find other ways of exercising.
Hope you enjoy :)
