TWELVE WEEKS. ONE LOGICAL PROGRESSION.

Build capacity, step by step.

Weeks 1–3

Calm the joint

Weeks 4–6

Rebuild strength

Bodyweight strength in shallower ranges, and the first single-leg control work.

Weeks 7–9

Build deep-range control

Progressively deeper squats and lunges, and the first controlled rotation drills.

Weeks 10–12

Return to twisting sport

Cutting, pivoting and agility work, then a full return to your sport.

The schedule provides structure, not a recovery deadline. Your response determines when you progress.
