The Complete ACL app is here.
If you’re recovering from an ACL injury, you might have exercises on a sheet, weights recorded in your phone notes and progress photos buried in your camera roll.
You’re putting in the work, but understanding how everything fits together—and whether you’re progressing—can still feel difficult.
That is why I created Complete ACL.
I’m Tilly Milverton, a Sports Therapist and Strength & Conditioning coach specialising in ACL rehabilitation. The app brings together the structure I use in my clinical work with exercise demonstrations, education and tools to record your recovery.
A clear plan throughout ACL recovery
Complete ACL supports pre-surgery preparation, rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction and non-operative ACL rehabilitation.
The programme progresses through stages covering early knee control, strength, running preparation and return to sport. Progression includes criteria and testing, helping you understand what you are working towards.
Your treating clinician should check that the programme suits your knee, surgery and any individual restrictions.
Follow your rehabilitation and log your sessions
Open your session, watch the exercise demonstrations and record your weights, sets, repetitions and effort.
When you return to an exercise, you have a record of what you completed previously. You can bring that information into appointments and have clearer conversations about your progress.
Track your knee movement, swelling and thigh size
Changes can be difficult to notice when you see your knee every day.
Complete ACL lets you record knee extension and flexion, knee circumference and thigh circumference, with graphs showing your measurements over time.
These records help you follow trends and share useful information with your clinician. They form part of the recovery picture alongside symptoms, strength and function.
Train the rest of you
An ACL injury does not mean every other part of your training has to stop.
Alongside rehabilitation, the app includes upper-body, core, mobility and conditioning sessions. There is also running support and tracking for users who have met the relevant requirements.
Understand your recovery
The education centre covers questions that arise throughout ACL rehabilitation, helping you understand the purpose behind your exercises and the stages ahead.
You can also complete a daily check-in to receive your training readiness score and record aspects of your routine such as sleep and hydration. The score provides context for how you’re feeling; it does not replace clinical advice or progression testing.
Explore recommended products and partner discounts
The “What Tilly Recommends” section brings together products and brands I recommend to patients, with partner discounts available within the app.
From the Complete ACL Recovery Guide to the app
The Complete ACL Recovery Guide was the starting point.
People wanted the rehabilitation structure alongside somewhere to log their sessions, record measurements and see their progress. Complete ACL brings those elements together in an interactive app.
The Guide remains a separate resource. The app adds the logging, tracking and daily interaction that people asked for.
